Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Santa Maria S. Stakes
SYNTAX (3) Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of 5 1/2L last start at this venue and going over extra ground. Coming to a new trainer. Main hope. CATALINA COCKTAIL (1) Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 4L last run around here and has drawn to do little work. In top form since coming back from a spell. Respect in this company. SIMPLY JOKING (4) Moved through the field into 4th last run here and going down in grade. Could be a value selection. NAFISA (5) Tailed off to finish 5th last time at this track. Should bounce back and goes down in grade. Likely to be well placed early. Tracking very well this preparation. Include in chances.

Back from a break. Jumped at $36.00 and below par performance when 4th last start around here but competing in a lower grade. Expected to settle towards the tail. Prefer in an easier race.

Odds of $14.00 and made some ground when 4th last run around here and will appreciate the drop in grade. Good chance at a nice price.

Didn't attack the line when 5th last time at the track. Should bounce back and up against weaker rivals. Has early speed and positions nicely. Watch the market moves.
