Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Surfer Girl S. Stakes
VANTA (5) Got the cash when winning by 2 1/2L last start at Del Mar. Hasn't put a foot wrong this preparation with 2 wins from as many runs. Strong chance. DEE SNOOK (1) Was nothing special when 7th last time at Del Mar but gets the perfect gate. Will be hitting the line strongly. Up to these. DASH (2) Solid effort when winning by 1 1/4L last start at Del Mar and has a positive draw. Matched against a stronger field. Better claims. BIG BLAST (3) Got the upper hand late when winning by a head last run at Del Mar but up against tougher rivals. Joel Rosario and Tim Yakteen must be respected together. Contender.

Started $7.00 and below par performance when 7th last time at Del Mar but has drawn the rails. Has a great burst of speed late. Value runner.

Showed promise when winning by 1 1/4L last start at Del Mar and gets a favourable barrier. Stepping up to a higher level. Could go close.

Really dug deep when winning by a head last run at Del Mar but competing in a more challenging grade. Joel Rosario and Tim Yakteen are consistently competitive when paired. Could win this.

Solid win by 2 1/2L last start at Del Mar. Flawless this preparation with 2 wins from as many starts. Tough competitor.

Jumped at $18.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time at Del Mar. Entitled to be big odds.

Finished 4th last start at Del Mar but showing consistent performance in races. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Looks highly doubtful.
