COMMENTS: EL POTENTE hit the board in eight of eight at a mile and with a little luck could have won them all. KING OF GOSFORD seeks his third win in a row in the third up. TEAO invades from South America after four Group 1 wins in the last five races. IRISH ACES ran the highest last race speed figure and should have his best late.

COMMENTS: PURE MADNESS is a little racing luck from winning six of his seven races. SORRENTO SKY is as consistent as they come and could have his best in the classic third start after a layoff. VIRAT should be a part of the story from start to finish. FREEDOMS NOT FREE has four wins and third in five Santa Anita turf tries.

COMMENTS: ATITLAN ran the highest last race speed figure with elite late pace. MONDEGO has raced extremely competitively versus many of these. ATOMIC AGE just missed last out at this level running about a second faster. NITTI could boom or bust in his second start after more than a year on the sidelines.

COMMENTS: NEVADA BEACH won three of four at the distance including this race last year. ORIGINAL SIN is undefeated in a pair at the distance. CALDERA looks for his fourth easy win in a row. TAIF makes two starts in a row for the first time and has a bullet work between races.

COMMENTS: LITTLE OPAL is unbeaten in a pair of easy wins. MO EM DOWN could be better in the second up and has a pair of works between starts. RUN WITH LIBERTY is a longshot that is two for two on Santa Anita turf. YOURS SINCERELY has some of the best turf breeding in the race and can fire first up.
