Alternate 15-12AshcroftJ Rosario
Alternate 26-13J B Strikes BackA Fresu

COMMENTS: EXPRESS TRAIN has the most back class in the race and consistently runs at a high level. TARANTINO should be close to his best in the third start off the bench and is the most likely to go wire to wire. KATONAH should get an excellent trip and is likely to benefit from todays projected pace. GOLDENEYE is more of an in the money play to boost payouts as he has never finished off the board in three at Santa Anita but has not won.

Alternate 220-15Escape ArtistJ Rosario

COMMENTS: JOHANNES is the only horse in the field facing a little lighter competition with a small class drop by par race rankings. SEAL TEAM offer the top trainer and jockey combination and won two of thee on Santa Anita turf. NINEELEVENTURBO improved his pace from start to finish in his last with highest last race speed figure. MI HERMANO RAMON is a highly consistent performer that is getting better by the race.

Alternate 18-17StrongholdA Fresu
Alternate 215-13WinterfellJ R Velazquez

COMMENTS: BENTORNATO is just a little racing luck away from being undefeated in nine races. He will try to be upfront from the start. PILOT COMMANDER might have some of the most untapped potential in just his fifth career outing. RAGING TORRENT makes his first start since the Breeders Cup sprint and has some of his best workouts getting ready to return. MYSTIK DAN comes off a long layoff after running in all of the Triple Crown races and has fast works too.

Alternate 212-16Heart HeadedL Dettori

COMMENTS: STAY HOT won three of four at the distance and all of them were at Santa Anita. ATITLAN has a couple of nice workouts between races and ran a little faster fractions last out. KING OF GOSFORD tied for the highest last race speed figure and drops a little in class. CURLINS KAOS will try to get out front and does not have much competition for the lead and could steal this with the right fractions.

Alternate 28-13KinzaJ R Velazquez

COMMENTS: HOPE ROAD usually fires after some rest winning the last three times she spent some time on the sidelines like today. ONE MAGIC PHILLY ran faster fractions last out and has some strong fast works between races with some of the most upside in the race. ACCURACY has shown some explosive late speed in her last two and always has plenty of early speed to keep up. SUGAR FISH is another with tremendous late run and tends to run well off the sidelines like today.

COMMENTS: SHE FEELS PRETTY has some of her fastest workouts prepping for the first start since mid October. KATHYNMARISSA increased her speed figure in the last three races and has a few swift workouts between starts. MEDORO has three wins and a second by a nose in four Santa Anita turf races. VALENCE improved her pace from start to finish and better fractions thought the first half mile in her last.
