COMMENTS: BEER CAN MAN hit the board in eight of nine on grass. COMMANDER finished in the money five of six at the distance. MOMOS tend to run well fresh off a break, like today. BRAN races well on a good surface in France. European invaders tend to like the fast, hard and firm turf courses in the US.

COMMENTS: ROCKEFELLER won two of three and the two wins were not close. MACKINNON moves hard late, making up ground in his last four starts. NEWGRANGE won his debut with a strong mid-move. We like to see that in debuts. OVIATTE CLASS looks better on paper than DEGREE OF RISK.

COMMENTS: ENGLANDS ROSE is undefeated in two at Santa Anita. MUCHO UNUSUAL hit the board in 12 of 12 at Santa Anita with six wins, three seconds and three thirds. LUCK is a pair of heads from winning all three of her starts since coming to the US from France. BODHICITTA should be in/near top form in her third start off the bench.

COMMENTS: AS TIME GOES BY has three wins and three seconds in six at Santa Anita. MOONLIGHT DORO should be in at/near top form in her third start after a layoff. PARK AVENUE won her last two by 5 lengths in each and has a strong work since. COWBOYS DAUGHTER is undefeated in two at Santa Anita and could be better in her second start off the sidelines.
