SANTA ANITA

POST-SCRATCHES

6th: MCLM/$40k, 3yo-F, 1m (P4, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Bad bunch with 2 faves that appear very vulnerable to any of the jump up candidates..

Best Value: #3 American Falls 10-1
Next Best: #5 True Validity 8-5
Exotics Use: #8 Palm d’Oro 12-1
Super Add: #7 Queen of the Track 5-2

7th: OC/N1X, 3yo-F, 1m-T (P3, DD, Hi-5)

Has the trappings of a sophomore group with lots of upside including 1st No. America start from Cavernnchipmunks (Red Barons/D’Amato) and last out MDN-breaker Truffalino who needs pace to chase. Talented Lady Prancelot gets class relief today having run into endless trouble in her 4 U.S. starts. Remember that Baltas lauded her last summer on ATR. Sold It (War Front) returns to lawn and may control things on the point. Good event..

Most Likely: #2 Cavernndchipmunks 4-1
Best Value: #4 Truffalino 5-1
Next Best: #6 Lady Prancelot 5-2
Exotics Use: #1 Sold It 7-2

8th: ALW/N1X, 4+, 1m (DD, Hi-5)

Solomini didn’t run badly in the Malibu and has drilled notably since. 3X G1 placed Curlin/Surf Song colt reunites with Prat and may be preparing to fully capitalize on potential..

Most Likely: #7 Solomini 9-5
Next Best: #5 Kylemore 5-2
Exotics Use: #8 Super Duper Cooper 6-1
Super Add: #2 Show Me Da Lute 8-1

Most Likely: #4 Buckys Pick 5-1
Best Value: #7 Fast Cotton 6-1
Next Best: #6 Zestful 4-1
Exotics Use: #3 Hey Sequoia 6-1

P4 Grid:

6: 3-5-8 (A), 1-6-7 (B), – (C)
7: 2-4-6 (A), 1 (B), 7-9 (C)
8: 7 (A), 5 (B), – (C)

Simple (A+B): 6x4x2x3 = 144 x .50 = $72

Good luck!
