SANTA ANITA


POST-SCRATCHES


6th: Eddie D ~ 1st Division (G3), 3+, 6.5f-T (P4, P3, DD)

At the least, Justin Squared and his abundant speed could prove a hazard to horse-to-beat Lady Shipman. There is some turf to be found in Justin Squared's female family. Why Two a big shot sitting behind speed and Mrazek intrigues first turf at a price. Full brother Pay the Fine was A-OK on the lawn. 6yo Ambitious Brew 4 for 8 down the hill and usually runs his race. Cuts back from a mile here, frequently a good formula this course..
