Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Melair S. Stakes
RUN WITH LIBERTY (3) looks the one after a decisive win at Santa Anita over 1609m last start, drawing clear by 3L from CECILIA STREET (5) and doing it from on speed. MOHAVEN (4) brings strong sprint form, dominant by 5L over 1308m here two back, and has tactical pace. Cecilia Street (5) chased Run With Liberty home over 1609m and maps to get a similar run. TROISIEME ETOILE (7) rises in trip but has a recent MSW win and an AOC 1207m placing prior; she’s in the mix if she stays.
