Santa Anita (opening day full-card) Selections



SANTA ANITA
 
SPOT PLAYS
 
Race 5
#2 Tempus Volat
Won two out of his last three mile races including a stakes race two starts ago where he beat some of these same horses. Ran well in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby last time and was in contention for the win in the stretch but didn’t handle the additional distance at 1 1/18 miles and settled for a competitive fourth. Will benefit from the cut back in distance today to 1 mile.
 
 
Race 8
#5 Usha
Plus exacta box with #9 Formula Rossa
#5 Usha looked like a terrific up-and-comer in SoCal two and three races ago when blowing away a couple of fields at Del Mar for trainer Bob Baffert. The Grade 2 attempt in the Raven Run Stakes at Keeneland last time was not a success, but the fact that the horse got bet down to 3-1 in that tough spot tells you a lot of this filly’s talent and potential. Back in SoCal for this race, she’s the horse to beat.
 
Play in exacta box with #9 Formula Rossa who has had a very promising start to her career beginning with back-to-back wins by a combined 10-length margin in her first two outings. Ran a solid second to the older and much more accomplished Sweet Azteca last time in the G3 Rancho Bernardo Stakes and now gets a crack at 3yo-only competition today.
