Kawazaki

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: R Baltas Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 463-11

Comment: Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and aiming to complete a hat-trick; narrow success in a claimer on his debut for new trainer last month; likely to be in contention as recent win points to him being able to handle class rise and his most recent trackwork was pleasing.

Comment: Beaten 11l in fourth here over 6½f (claimer) when dropped in distance 49 days ago; in for a $30k tag so up in class ($25k last time); is passed over.

Baldoro

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 8-1265

Comment: Split Hula Candy and Rhythem On Stage when fifth 49 days ago in a claimer; higher claiming tag here so up in class; his best looks to be behind him and hard to recommend.

Rhythem On Stage

Comment: Finished last of six over 6½f here (claimer) 49 days ago; useful in this grade; higher claiming tag here so up in class; can be in the thick of things if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Hudson Ridge

Jockey: Drayden Dyke Van Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 24/7-

Comment: Not beaten too far when seventh here (bumped at the start) last June upped to 1m2f in an allowance optional claimer; from top stable; returns from a layoff here; trainer is ticking along nicely; big run on the cards as shown some ability on occasion - return to this trip is a plus too.

Comment: Produced several respectable runs lately; finished third but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) when back to 6f last month on his first start for this trainer in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $30k); others more likely.

Verdict: JERRY'S SPIRIT can prove superior to his rivals. He is arguably the leading player from a form perspective and has been a winner over this C&D, while Supernal and Where's The Loot should also be considered.

Took Charge

Jockey: Efrain Hernandez Trainer: Martin Valenzuela Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 21-26

Comment: Last of six four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; this is his grade; now eased in the grades (in for $25k); he's an attractive contender if replicating the best of his form.

Comment: Finished last of seven in a claimer upped to this distance 47 days ago; quite a while since he tasted success; now eased in the grades (in for $25k); his best looks to be behind him and might not be up to this.

Jerry's Spirit

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 63-11

Comment: Ridden positively to get across to lead from stall seven when landing a claimer over 6½f by 4l six weeks ago; has won over C&D; seeking a hat-trick today; although up in class he appears to be in top form so has strong claims.

Supernal

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 87-615

Comment: A C&D winner; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; out of the frame (beaten 9l in fifth) 28 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; claiming tag drops from $32k; likely to be a threat if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Verdict: SEPTEMBER MAGIC is a leading player from a recent form standpoint (scored last month) and has been a winner over this C&D. Unwritten Code is an interesting candidate.

Over Attracted

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 8/8-12 F: 2-4852

Comment: Winning form over C&D; excellent in her prime; solid effort when beaten 1½l to finish runner-up in an optional claimer (dropped to 6½f, had Unwritten Code and Ivory Moon behind) 34 days ago; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so is capable of making an impact.

Verdict: TAPATIA MIA rates a strong recommendation. She comes from a yard that has a solid strike-rate with newcomers, while Still Unwritten and Cara Rose must be on the shortlist.

1	Can You Dream Jockey: Edgar Payeras Trainer: Rafael DeLeon Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Chismosa; interesting to see how she figures in the betting.
2	Bella Chavela Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Steven Miyadi Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Related to Grade 3 winner Phantom Boss; early foal; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; Steven Miyadi team does well at Santa Anita with debutants; would be a surprise to see this one figure.
3	Aguila Azul Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Rafael DeLeon Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: February foal; recent workouts point to readiness; bred to get better as she gets older; record of the stable offers some encouragement.
4	Tapatia Mia Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Stable has enjoyed debutant winners at this course; she needs to be taken seriously.
5	Lino's Angel Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Edwin Alvarez Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Looks a speedy type on sire side of breeding; February foal; overlooked unless the market says otherwise as trainer often leaves something to work on.
6	Cara Rose Jockey: William Iii Antongeorgi Trainer: Steven Miyadi Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Steven Miyadi team does well at Santa Anita with debutants; pedigree suggests she may get better with age; related to Ghost Stalker (winner from 6½f up to 1m1f); in the mix with signs of encouragement in profile.
7	My Love Caroline Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Jorge Periban Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Related to 6f winner Borntostaythirsty; Jorge Periban debutants have a strong record at Santa Anita; January foal; has had some encouraging workouts and is capable of making an impact.
8	Still Unwritten Jockey: Adrian Escobedo Trainer: Ryan Hanson Age/Wt: 2/8-7	SP
Comment: Stable does well here with debutants; workout history suggests fitness may not be an issue; February foal; likely to be involved with signs of encouragement in profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Bob's Blue Moon

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Steve Sherman Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 42-753

Comment: Has achieved four wins from 13 career runs; finished a decent third of nine last month in a claimer; may find this lower level more suitable (in for $25k); latest effort was encouraging so no surprise if he has a big say.

Jetovator

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: P Eurton Age/Wt: 9/9-0 F: 822-39

Comment: Tailed off at a short price (behind Don't Swear Dave) in February in a claimer; good course-and-distance record (three wins) and very useful in his prime; he has defied a similar absence before and ought to be considered.

So I'm Told

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Martin Valenzuela Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 25366

Comment: Track has proven suitable before; out of the frame (beaten 4½l in sixth) over 1m here (optional claimer) four weeks ago; passed over as no longer in his pomp.

Inch

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Jeff Mullins Age/Wt: 8/9-0 F: 8-7774

Comment: Quite a while since he tasted success and may have reached limits of his ability; fair effort (beaten just over 4l) over 5½f at Turf Paradise (claimer) two months ago; higher claiming tag here so class rise to contend with.

Don't Swear Dave

Jockey: Victor Espinoza Trainer: H Palma Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 475-24

Comment: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; has been fairly consistent this year; solid run when fourth in an optional claimer with My Summer Dream just behind six weeks ago; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then has to be respected.

Santa Anita

Runners: 10 Distance: 0m 5f 110y

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: TAPATIA LEAH is fancied for this. She likes to stalk the early speed and wears blinkers for the first time. C Plum Run and Approval Rating should also be taken seriously.

Parlay Bay

Jockey: Dorde Perovic Trainer: Simon Hobson Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 4

Comment: Couldn't land a blow on her debut (at Santa Anita over 6f) at 3-1 in February; needs to make above-average progress with tougher test on the cards.

Reckless Ride

Jockey: Geovanni Franco Trainer: Samuel Calvario Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: From the same family as Reckless Affair, a winner over 1m½f; first time on the track; market could reveal prospects with inexperience a possible drawback.

C Plum Run

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 4/9-0

Comment: Related to Darnquick, winning form over 4½f-6½f; from a trainer with a solid record with debutants; should figure as some good aspects to her profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Bottom Dollar

Jockey: Adrian Escobedo Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 58

Comment: Unable to land a blow when eighth of ten 12 days ago on debut for new trainer in a maiden claimer; first-time blinkers.

Club Stiletto

Jockey: Abdul Alsagoor Trainer: Sergio Ledezma Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Comecomealgebra (4f-6f); having her first start in public; whether she'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so easy enough to oppose.

Forest Dazzle

Jockey: Tyler Baze Trainer: Brendan Galvin Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 4-0

Comment: Beaten a fair way when tenth in a maiden special weight (just behind Tapatia Leah) four months ago; easy to see her making an impression now that she knows a little more and didn't have the best of luck last time.

Cote Blanc

Jockey: Cristobal Herrera Trainer: Gloria Haley Age/Wt: 4/9-0

Comment: Sire an influence for speed; related to Spanish Channel, winning form over 4½f-6½f; remains to be seen whether she'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - might be best to watch the betting.

Approval Rating

Jockey: Assael Espinoza Trainer: O Jauregui Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -4

Comment: Beaten on her debut in course maiden optional claimer over 6½f in blinkers at 25-1 26 days ago; entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and definite chance.

Coiffeur

Jockey: Edgar Payeras Trainer: Terri Eaton Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 75653

Comment: Hard to crab her most recent performance (third of eight) last month at Los Alamitos in a maiden (mixed); improved form the last twice but yet to open her account after 11 starts; others appeal more as not in the habit of winning recently.
