Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Golden State Juvenile S. Stakes
EARLY ENCORE (1) Won with a leg in the air by over 6L last time at Del Mar and taking on easier opposition. Expecting to settle positively. Placed at every start this campaign. Can win this. ANGEL'S EMBER (2) Made a mess of them when winning by 4L last start here and can find a nice position from the draw. Should race on the speed. Has the ability to take this out. GOLDEN CLUB (5) Rounded them up to win last start at the track and solid career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation but competing in a higher grade. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. EMPIRE OF ASH (3) Honest race when 3rd last start at this venue but rising in class. Marginal hopes.

Was rock solid when winning by over 6L last time at Del Mar and facing a weaker group of contenders. Shows good early pace. Drawn well. Good career start. Should give this a shake.

Made no mistakes when winning by 4L last start at this track and gets a favourable draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. Challenged by a tougher grade. Strong prospects in this race.

Gave them a lesson when winning by 3 1/2L last time at this track but facing formidable rivals. Displays good closing speed. One for the place and exotics betting.

Picked up late to win last start around here and promising career start. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation but facing a stronger class. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Back after a break. Won narrowly by a head last start at Del Mar but facing a stronger group of contenders. Do not dismiss entirely.

Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Del Mar and going down in class. Has been a model of consistency since coming back from a break. This will pose a challenge.

Ran home into 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at the track and rising in trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Needs significant improvement.
