COMMENTS: SUBCONSCIOUS rides the high win rate rail at a track where he hit the board in four of five starts. READY SOUL should be better in his second start after a layoff. COUNT AGAIN has trained well getting ready with three consecutive bullets. HURRICANE CLOUD is making his first start in the US and has run well in France.

COMMENTS: CE CE won five of eight at Santa Anita with a second and third. MERNEITH should be better in her second start off a bench and a bullet work between races. KALYPSO is another horse for the course with three wins a second and third in five outings. PARK AVENUE looks much better on paper than FULL OF GRACE.

* EXACTA: 2,4,5,6 Box

COMMENTS: EIGHT RINGS jockey/trainer combo of John Velazquez/Bob Baffert won 12 of 20 together. LAW PROFESSOR is an all or nothing horse but that all resulted in the highest, last race speed figure. SPEILBERG won his last and should be as good in his second start after a long layoff. EXPRESS TRAIN finished in the money seven of eight at Santa Anita.
