Santa Anita for Friday 24 February 2012
[private]
Pick Six players might want to consider making the top pick in the 5th and 8th race "singles". Best of luck!
race 1Â Â Â below average clarity
4 Woodbroom Express  trainer knows how to ship and win.....good speed with light weight app up and the race lacks speed types
3 Catorce De La Fama   good work tab for this CHI invader......trainer is good with fresh stock
5 Devoted Magic  1 for 1 on conventional dirt.........5 wins and 2 2nds in 7 races at the distance
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
2 Gambling Pokerface  2 years away but drops from 50K to 10K and catches a seemingly soft 10K group
6 Si Mar's Dear  big switch in apps here......from winless app to red hot app.....should be in the hunt from the get go
1 Mo Cheese  decent sprint history on dirt........recent couple of drill hints at an improving mare
race 3Â Â Â Â average clarity
1 Blu Jon  poor trip in debut and still closed very fast down the hill.....trainer is better with 2nd timers
4 Prime Number  Krigger had a good turf history coming into this meet....finally won a grass race at SA yesterday.....should have monkey off his back....blinkers on and already owns good speed....prominent from the get go
2 Cook Inlet   blinkers off probably to take back and make one late run down the hill....good tactic for a routers 1st run ever down the SA hill turf course
6 Stormberg  wide near the decent pace hides a decent effort on the AW back in mid Nov......laid up and shows up in the ever dangerous but cold Mike Mitchell barn....showed he can handle the sod at GP
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
4 Salsa Mobile  85 to 1 in MSW and only beat by 12 lengths....drops to mc 30K and is working markedly better......drills hint she has speed and that would be a good thing here
7 Chimi Dee  sharp work tab for mdn claiming debut........trainer is having a great meet.....seemingly a good spot for a 1st timer
3 Candy And Thunder  takes the ever dangerous drop out of MSW racing......but 2 ?marks....1st on real dirt....... and late runner in a race that totally lacks speed
1 What A Rebah   last maybe a major league gimme.....rider/trainer have been quite the team over the years
race 5Â Â Â Â average clarity
2 Brown Is Biege   3 wide trip versus better in last and still only beat by 1 length......should be on or near the lead in a race lacking speed
4 We Are One  scratched out
3 Hakuchi  tailed off so the time off looks like a good thing....good work regiment suggests she is coming back ready to make a rebound
8 Vikkilee   trainer won yesterday back quick with a horse.......back quick and owns some solid back numbers down the SA hill course especially on very firm turf like we had yesterday
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
2 Tiz An Addiction  set a solid pace on a dull rail versus better in last and rightfully tired........fresh and seemingly ready with light weight capable app up....wire to wire attempt here on a racing surface much more conducive to early speed
1 Heidi Maria   wide trip in last and still only got beat by less than a length in good final time......4 weeks off to recover from that big effort and Rosario sticks around.....a very good sign
5 Screaming Regal  very consistent solid router.....should be very tough late if gets enough pace up front
4 Veloce Canzone  solid MSW debut win in Jan of 2011 at GP......long layoff but training like she might be ready to roll 1st ever long
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
7 Intuitive Nature  positive rider switch to Talamo who won with this horse down the hill 3 races back.....can be up close in an affair seemingly set for those close up early
6 Starspangled Heat  solid late runner on the SA hill......will be hoping for more pace up front than anticipated
1 Los Bomberos  1st on the grass and his turf pedigree seems decent.......owns good early speed on the main track and if he takes to the turf he might open up a nice lead here
2Â Circa'sgoldengear
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
3 Take No Prisoners  sure woke up in 2nd lifetime start his 1st ever on the SA dirt........love the step up by Baffert...must feel real good...can be prominent from the get go
7 Dream Caught  horse is quite a bit better than appears in print....multiple bad trips.......1st time Bejarano and 4 lbs off......lookout if finally gets the trip
1 You Know I Know  1ster sure finished up work tab nicely....would have rated higher if it wasn't for a large time gap between works in Jan/Feb
4Â Givimaway
8Â Awesome Mike
2Â Chibita
