Emily's Analysis
Santa Anita Race 1
Post Time 2:00 PM CST
#7 MIDNIGHT STRIKE earned a follow from the debut. They showed run after the SLOG making a WIDE MOVE X_FLOW and solid GALLOP+ to present an IMPROVE off the experience.
Santa Anita Race 4
Post Time 3:30 PM CST
Trainer D. Blacker has started off the meet strong with 4 wins in 8 starters and that trend noted with the long layoff (740 days) return for #1 VICTORY MATTERS - on that turned in BTL effort on debut compromised with the break (SLOG, TROUBLES+) and solid middle MOVE earning a follow.
Santa Anita Race 9
Post Time 6:00 PM CST
#9 J DUTTON had a look on the STRETCH out last month at LRC and perhaps still holds upside from that race and wheeling back under similar conditions with a rider change. With that said, K. Frey jumps aboard #5 MIO BAMBINO one that turned in a BTL effort at the level back on 9/8 at DMR and similar last month pairing a BTL at LRC; however, this will be the first time around two turns and has that to prove.
Turfway Race 2
Both #5 TALENT SHOW and #9 BEACH WEDDING will get the bulk of attention for their connections and earned figures/outcome exiting the 12/18 common race - a race with a LOWER par than today's event.
Value should present in that case and upgrade the two second time starters from the 12/12 common race: #4 JENUTH figures less "obvious" though also had TROUBLE made a WIDE MOVE and can IMPROVE one that was unable to show their best and should put forward a top effort here; #2 WHITE ROCKS had TROUBLE early and showed run making a WIDE MOVE into the place finish.
