SANTA ANITA
Race 1
More rain is in the forecast so check and see how the track is running. No. 2 Waze Ready ran a good second in the slop last out. No. 4 Gold Arrow and No. 5 Scattering Mink both exit the same last race and both will like an off track. 5**-4*-2
Race 2
No. 1 Contagion and No. 2 Friday’s At Shady both exit the same last race and finished second and third. Contagion owns the better off track breeding. 1*-2
Race 3
This is scheduled to go a mile on the grass and we doubt it. If for some reason the rain goes away and it remains on the grass we like No. 2 Madaket Sunset, No. 3 Foxtail and No. 4 Dearborn are the main three. If it comes off we like No. 4 Dearborn and No. 5 Princess Leia. TURF 2-3-4—OFF 4**-5
Race 4
No. 2 Tempestuous Gal is a first time starter who is bred to love an off track. No. 5 Factorize gets the ultimate drop in Southern Cal from a straight maiden race to this $16k maiden claimer, she will be odds on. 5***-2
Race 5
Another race set to go a mile on the grass for $50k maiden3yo fillies and on the surface on one can win. No. 4 Enlisting looks like the play on or off the grass. No. 3 Lil Respect will like the stretchout if this stays on the grass. 3-4 grass, 4** GRASS OR MAIN
Race 6
No. 3 R Cha Cha comes off a big win on the off track and is in top form. No. 5 Conqueror also comes off the win and should like the off going. 3-5
Race 7
This is scheduled to go down the hill. Forgeta ‘bout it…but if it does No. 6 Donut Girl is a single. If it comes off the grass this will most likely be a four horse field, hit the all button. 6** TURF, OFF HIT THE ALL BUTTON.
Race 8
$8k claimers go a mile. No. 2 Zestful gets a huge class drop. No. 6 I’ll Wrap It Up has run two times on an off track with a win and a second. He gets the new bug boy Jose Leon who we know nothing about.
2-6
CHECK FOR LATE SCRATCHES AND ON OR OFF THE GRASS
