SANTA ANITA
Race 1
Maiden 3yo go a mile. No. 1 Shooters Shoot goes long off a big back to back works. No. 4 Lane Way exits the same race and was the .70 cents on the dollar chalk that day vs Charlatan, see who he ran yesterday. No. 5 Yeng Again just missed first out at .70 cents on the dollar and now gets Joel Rosario, he will be short again today. 5-4-1
Race 2
$16k fillies and mares travel a flat mile. No. 1 Ruby Bradley will sit off the red hot pace and make one run down the lane. She has hit the board in all five of her starts here. No. 4 Perfect Ice Storm looks to wake up with the class drop. No. 5 Red Sacred Appeal exits the same last race as Ruby. 4-1-5
Race 3
$40k optional 3yo go six furlongs. No. 2 Promise Nothing looks well spotted at a price off a nice maiden win. The same can be said about No. 3 Nonno’s Polaris who looked good breaking his maiden last out and has come back with a big work. 3-2
Race 4
$40k optional 3yo fillies go 6 ½ furlongs. No. 5 Kristi’s Tiger and No. 6 Kleen Karma both exit a good last race, we see a fast pace up front with both of these fillies running on late. 5-6
Race 5
$20k maiden fillies and mares go six furlongs. No. 1 New Year New Me comes off the layoff and looks very live in this soft spot for Vladimir Cerin, we like Able Cedillo up today. No. 3 Swingn It has been well bet in all three of her races, she finds her easiest spot. 1-3
Race 6
$16k claimers go 5 ½ furlongs. No. 1 Saddle Bar is back from Golden Gate, he won here back in December in his only start here. No. 2 TEMPLE KNIGHTS gets a major rider upgrade to Flavien Prat riding for the sneaky Andrew Lerner. His last work says he is on go and he will be out key runner in here. No. 6 Jen Go Unchained beat Temple Knights on race back and is a must use. 2***-1-6
KEY PLAY
WIN AND PLACE 2 AND A KEY EXACTA BOX 2 WITH 1-6
Race 7
$40k optional fillies and mares go 6 ½ furlongs. No. 3 Ava’s Charm looks very tough in this race second off the layoff, she will look to take them wire-to-wire and we think she will, we will single her in the Picks.
3***
Race 8
$12,500 fillies and mares go six furlongs. No. 6 Diamond of Value drops, finds a lot of early speed and will be making a late run. No. 10 Real Good Deal looks to be a nice price play. She ships in from Golden Gate and will look to run them down late at a big price. 6-10
CHECK FOR LATE SCRATCHES AND ADJUST.
