Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
DREAM SEEKER (1) Honest race when 2nd last run at Del Mar and has drawn to do little work. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is in form. Should go well. BLIKSEM (4) Came in 4th last start at Del Mar. Likely to bounce back. Has genuine claims in this race. HOAXER (2) Came in 4th last time at Del Mar. Looking for an improved run and challenged by weaker competitors. Jockey Joel Rosario and trainer Bob Baffert are a proven combination. Must be considered. ET AL (7) Didn't threaten when 7th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Happy to overlook that run. Has good finishing speed. Not out of this.

First up today. Was $16.00 and uncompetitive when 4th last run here but fitter for debut run. Displays good tactical speed. Facing a rise in trip. Will need everything to go right.

At $11.00 average performance when 6th last start at Del Mar but was a debutant last start. Bob Baffert stable are having a great run of late. Sharp improvement needed.
