SANTA ANITA Race #8

March 16, 2012
img4:30 PM Eastern

Top pick: #8 (WARREN'S PERFORMER) - Freshened-up since late January, she ran well in both starts here at that time, and each was at this price. Working nicely for this, filly cuts back in distance and the presence of Raf Bejarano for the first time, means they like her chances.

2nd pick: #1 (Elusive Spirit) - She showed blazing speed before tiring when debuting facing tougher in late November at Hollywood in a turf sprint. Has the rail, drops down, shortens up a furlong, and she's working steadily. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Winforlin) - Mare chased while racing wide and tired in the last furlong going 6 furlongs on Feb. 20. Effort was fine and came off a four-month break. Contends in this spot.
