Here is today's analysis and selections for Santa Anita:

Race 1

1-4-2

The racing day starts off with a Grade 2, the Marathon Stakes. At 14 furloughs, it the longest race of the weekend. #1 Itsinthepost ran very well last time on dirt at an extended distance and that form could carry the day here. #4 Zestful will probably be the one leading the field around the course and watch for him to try to slow the race down and steal it as he has lead and won his last six races. #2 American Tattoo looked good in his last effort winning at Belmont.

Race 2

9-4-1-10

#9 Heathers Grey has shown good and consistent form her last 4 starts with 2 wins and 2 places. Watch for her to be in the mix again today. #4 Opus Won has shown improving form her last three starts with 2 wins and a place. She is stepping up here but looks to be ready for the challenge. #1 Rayana is coming back to the distance that she broke her maiden at. #10 An Eddie Surprise has hit the board in three straight versus similar company.

Race 3

11-8-4-9

#11 Been Studying Her is dropping in class here. She lost out to Bast who is one of the favorites in the Juvenile Fillies later in the day. She looks to be well placed here. #8 Bulletproof One has hit the board in 4 of 5 career races with 3 wins. #4 Warren's Showtime put up a strong victory last time out on the grass. Shortening up a little today while moving over to the dirt but still looks strong here. #9 Cholula Lips is coming back to the dirt where she has had more success just losing out to Been Studying Her last time on dirt.

Race 4

Race 5 Juvenile Turf Sprint

9-7-10-12

#9 Four Wheel Drive has powered home to two strong and very impressive wins in his two career starts.

She is 3 for 4 lifetime with her lone loss by a head at Royal Ascot on a soft course. #10 A'Ali comes over from Europe with 3 wins and a place in 5 starts including a solid win last time out. #12 Cambria is three for three with a very solid win last time out at Kentucky Downs.

He has also been training up a storm the morning. #6 Eight Rings will attempt to back up his strong victory in the Grade 1 American Pharaoh here. He has also been working very well in the mornings. #5 Scabbard has shown improving form in three straight and was closing on Dennis' Moment last time out. #7 Anneau d'Or scored a solid maiden victory in his debut and steps up in class here but will come closing in to get into the mix.
