Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Santa Anita Oaks Presented By Surfside Stakes
FRENCH BLUE (3) Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at this track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Serious player. FORCED ENTRY (1) Finished with purpose when winning last run at this venue and promising career start. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 attempts and has drawn the rails. Has to be strongly considered. MEANING (5) Ran over the top of them when winning last start around here and lining up against easier rivals. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is an asset. Has the ability to take this out. BROOKLYN BLONDE (7) Rounded them up to win last time around here and good career start. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Big danger.

Was eating up the ground late when winning last run around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Rates as one of the key chances.

Did well to place 2nd last start at the track and has a positive draw. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation but racing in stronger company. Others preferred.

Gave plenty of cheek when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at this venue but testing ability against stronger contenders. Should muster plenty of early speed. Definite claims for punters.

Put together a strong on-speed performance when 2nd last time at this venue but up against a more competitive field. Very hard to have.

Dictated terms in front to win by 3 3/4L last start at this track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Prefer others.

Strong effort to the line to win last time at this track and solid career start. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
