COMMENTS: MO FORZA is a nose away from winning eight of his last nine starts. SMOOTH LIKE STRAIT has finished in the money seven of eight at Santa Anita and seven of eight at the distance. HIT THE ROAD won four of five at Santa Anita, all at 1 mile. ORDER AND LAW looks a little better than RED STORM RISEN on paper.

* EXACTA: 1,3,4,5 Box

COMMENTS: DR. SCHIVEL has won four in a row and is three for three at the distance. CZ ROCKET ran the top, last race speed figure and could be better in his third start after a layoff. FLAGSTAFF has won four of nine at Santa Anita, just three of 12 elsewhere. COLT FICTION has never finished out of the money at the distance or at Santa Anita.

* EXACTA: 1,3,4,8 Box
* TRIFECTA: 1,4,8/1,3,4,8/1,3,4,7,8
COMMENTS: LUCKs record on all-weather and his performance on a firm turf course suggest she will be tough to beat. DOGTAG has a quartet of seconds in her last four races and is just a head away from winning both at the distance. GOING TO VEGAS has won three of her last four races, including the top, last race speed figure. NEIGE BLANCHE could have the strongest late kick, worry is that the race might not be long enough.

* EXACTA: 1,5,7,8 Box
* TRIFECTA: 1,7/1,5,7,8/1,3,5,7,8
COMMENTS: TRIPOLI is a 1/2 length from winning four in a row and just ran his best race. TIZAMAGICIAN could not hold on versus TRIPOLI in his last start but could benefit by shortening by a quarter mile. MEDINA SPIRIT has a tough time beating a weaker field in his last. His workouts say he will be ready but does not pass many, doubtful he gets the lead here. IDOL has not missed the board in six starts, including three at Santa Anita. A bullet 6 furlong workout on September 26th was faster than his fractions in his last start.

* TRIFECTA: 4,6,7/1,4,6,7/1,3,4,6,7
COMMENTS: MASTER PIECE looks like he has figured it out in his last race and should have the most punch late. ACCLIMATE has three seconds in three races at the distance, will be close to the lead all the way around the track. UNITED will be the favorite and has finished in the money five of six at the distance and eight of 11 at Santa Anita. AWARD WINNER has two wins and two seconds in four at Santa Anita. The two wins were at todays distance.
