COMMENTS: CEZANNE should get a good stalking trip behind a lot of early speed. BRICKYARD RIDE has won eight of 11 Santa Anita starts. CANADIAN RIDE should be at/near peak form in his third start off the bench with three consecutive speed figure increases. PRINCIPE CARLO improved significantly in the first half-mile of his last effort.

COMMENTS: LEGGS GALORE has five wins and a second is seven at Santa Anita. TONY ANN is 3/4 a length from winning four in a row and is likely to be better in the second start off the bench. MUCHO UNUSUAL can win from anywhere on the track, the versatility should help. GOING TO VEGAS has been working well since blowing a tire in the Breeders Cup.

COMMENTS: FORBIDDEN KINGDOM ran the top, last race speed figure and could move it up a notch in his second start after a layoff. DOPPELGANGER has some track position issues in his last, a cleaner trip is all he needs, ARMAGNAC should be on the gas from go. Jockey John Velazquez and trainer Bob Baffert won 7 of 15 together. BEAUTIFUL ART improved a lot in the later part of his last race, cutting his 6 furlong fractions by more than 2 seconds.

COMMENTS: MISS BIGLY has five wins, a second and two thirds in eight at the distance. AS TIME GOES BY won her last by 13, a big race is usually followed by another. VARDA has been off for more than a year but has been working well. ENVOUTANTE can win from the front, middle or back.

* TRIFECTA: 4,6,8/1,4,6,8/1,3,4,6,8

 

 
COMMENTS: EXPRESS TRAIN should be at/near peak fitness in his third off the bench. STILLETO BOY ran the highest, last race speed figure with strong late pace improvement. SOY TAPATIO is stepping way up in class but could catch a fast pace to close in to. SPEILBERG has two nice works, including a bullet between races.
