Santa Anita 5th Race – Post: 3:00 PT. Degree of confidence: B
Top Selection/Prime Play: 5-Whatmakessammyrun
Forecast: Whatmakessammyrun has some back class that hasn’t been exploited this year, but he’s now in the high percentage Mark Glatt barn, and in his first start off the claim, the veteran gelding could easily regain his winning form in this contentious extended turf sprint for older $32,000 claimers. The son of We Miss Artie was forced to take the overland trip. He may have lost more ground than he was beaten by when unplaced (just three lengths behind the winner) in his most recent start. Still, if he can save some ground today and improve as expected for his new connections, he can secure his first victory of the year at what should be an attractive number on the tote.
Santa Anita – 10th race – Post: 5:30 PT. Degree of confidence: B+
Top Selection/Prime Play: 6-Final Edition.
Forecast: Final Edition is a dangerous ship-and-win entrant in this extended turf sprint for older maidens and brings with him speed figures that are good enough to beat this field. Now in the Vladimir Cerin barn after a pair of promising runs in New York last summer when conditioned by Wesley Ward, the son of Uncle Mo has trained quite well in recent weeks to be fit and ready and is back sprinting at a distance that compliments his style. Top rider Juan Hernandez takes the call, so it all adds up to a major performance and a prime play at anything close to his morning line of 3-1.
