Santa Anita Park Race 6 - D. Wayne Lukas S. Stakes
SPLENDORA (5) added to her impressive record with a win over 1408m in the G1 Breeders' Cup FM Sprint at Del Mar (Dirt) at her last appearance before a break three-and-a-half months ago. Good fresh performer so she should launch this prep in a positive manner. NO BAD BEATS (6) went forward last start over 1207m in the G3 Las Flores Stakes at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 1.75 lengths. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. FORMULA ROSSA (7) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at this track. Genuine galloper with two wins from four starts. Has solid credentials. SIMPLY JOKING (1) has been out of the winners list for a long time, last start finishing third in the G1 La Brea Stakes at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Easier assignment this time. Solid claims on her best form.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign post a big 5 len win. Del Mar G1 Breeders' Cup FM Sprint November 1 over 1408m defeating Vahva carrying 56kg at $3.90. First up last campaign second in a small field at this track in the G2 Santa Maria Stakes April 19 over 1710m, 4.5 len behind Richi carrying 54.5kg at $2.60. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.
