R9 - G3 Ack Ack Handicap

#5 Runhappy (1-2) - Lays over this field and seems to get an easy lead is he wants it.

Santa Anita


R8 - G1 Rodeo Drive (Turf 10F)

#1 Keri Belle (15-1) - No G1 winner in this field and she fits well here. She'll stay the trip when others want no part of the 10 furlongs.
#12 Zipessa (7-2) - She's in sharp form and has traveled well in her career. Solid try in G1 Bev D at Arlington.
#10 Nancy From Nairobi (GB) (10-1) - Cleaner trip and 2nd off the bench make the difference.
#13 Elektrum (IRE) (5-1) - Must overcome outside draw, but expect her to make a big run late.

R9 - G1 Zenyatta

#2 Beholder (3-5) - She's the Queen of Santa Anita.
#6 Stellar Wind (8-5) - Coming off career race and has a favorable draw.
#4 Tara's Tango (6-1) - The battle looks like it's for 3rd for the rest of the field.

#2 Noted and Quoted (6-1)
#10 Lake Time (10-1)
#5 American Cleopatra (7-2)

R11 - Unzip Me 70k (Turf 6.5F)

#6 Nodiac (Ire) (10-1) - BEST BET - 2nd off a break and has had success on this tricky downhill course.
#1 Tourny (Fr) (6-1) - Came up short at odds on in U.S. debut, but looks to be in good position.
#10 Swift Lady (9-2) - I look for her to launch a late rally and she knows this course.
#3 Belvoir Bay (GB) (6-1) - Will try to strike the front early and dare them to catch her.

PK4 - 1 9 10 12 13 / 2 / 2 4 5 10 / 1 3 6 10 = $40 for $.50
