RACE 7   SANTA BARBARA HANDICAP

Ten furlongs on the turf the Grade 3 Santa Barbara the feature race today........for fillies and mares.......the speed of the speed looks to be Fanticola.........she is consistent and genuine.........my concern might be the longer distance.......she will get tested today.

I selected Three Hearts in her last start.......double digit odds and lost a heart breaker right on the wire.......I expect she will not bounce and give a strong performance in the Santa Barbara.

I like the new face shipper Walk Close trained by Clement........daughter of Pulp out of the mare In Excess...........now should be more mature because she is a four year old........Victor Espinoza rides her..........sharp morning works..........


                1. Walk Close
                2. Fanticola
                3. Three Hearts

               Class bounce play Diversity Harbor



RACE 8

Non winners of two 12 G claiming sprint for fillies and mares on the main track!

ANALYSIS'


Lady Now........should get a good inside post........second start by a sneaky trainer Grayson........had ton of trouble in her comeback start last race......Tab the jockey switch to Prat who has won with her at this track.

Grey Girl Gone blinkers off value play hot trainer and equipment change play.......class dropper too! Baze is re-riding her!

The speed looks to be Spy Girl...........trained by Miller and I expect will press a early pace up front........adds the blinkers for the first time is a contender in a wide wide open race that is hard to trust using horses in this leg of the pick four.

I think Tribal Yodler who I have not seen in less then a year......exits a race where she beat It's Aine who stepped into a turf allowance race and won........Trained by Knapp has strung together some nice works that appears to me that she can fire fresh and might not need a race to be live. She added blinkers and she improved how she ran.......I like the fact that his main man Gryder rides her.


              1. Tribal Yodler
              2. Lady Now
              3. Secret Appeal

              Grey Girl Gone use in pick 4






RACE 9 

One mile turf  50 G maiden claiming race that is wide wide open........


ANALYSIS'

Dean Pederson a highly respect trainer in my eyes.......trains Hazardous Dreams who switch from the Guitierrez barn to Pederson barn.......He makes his first start coupled that he is four year old and drops in class facing state restricted maiden special weight company......distance is a help......He gets added distance after running down the tricky turf course......He did run one mile race where he finished third....Tab the barn change and the change in distance and class relief to make a difference today.

Village Kitten trained by David Hoffman makes his second start after a year off vacation.......tab the jockey switch to Victor Espinoza........

Miltee.........gets the extreme outside post......I expect he will be sent early so he does not lose any ground on the first turn.......He comes back fresh and goes first time in for a tag......facing open company maiden special weight foes........Simon has put five works in him since his last race........I like this one!


               1. Miltee
               2. Hazardous Dreams
               3. Village Kitten

             The one to beat is Passinaflash
