Santa Anita Race 1: Post: 12:30 PT

Top Selection/Prime Play: 3-Cuban Confusion

Forecast: Irish invader Cuban Confusion-Ire ran well with better horses (winners) last summer, and the local workouts should have him plenty fit for a winning effort against this moderate older maiden group. The barn sends them fit and ready, and this first time Lasix user gets Frankie Dettori and has the kind of tactical speed to be where he wants to be. Yes, he’s a long-time maiden, but this group is well within his reach. Let’s make him a win play and rolling exotic single.

Santa Anita Race 6: Post: 3:00 PT

Top Selection/Prime Play: 4-Butterfly Beach

Forecast: Butterfly Beach was given an outing in her debut in a turf sprint last month. She was closing with interest, found her best stride late, and looks ready to graduate in this sprint affair for sophomore state-bred maiden fillies. This a filly of some ability, and we suspect she’ll be allowed to show it today.
