Today at Santa Anita, June 27

Race 1 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

4 Tiz Midnight – Bob Baffert has an uncoupled entry so caveat emptor; his barn makes up 40 percent of this lacklustre field.

5 Little Miss S – This is the other Baffert; was hammered down in debut to 4/5 odds and barely ran a step, now stretches out.

Long Shot – 2 Iconic Spirit

Race 2 – 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $40,000, Claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

7 He’s a Dance Star – Richard Baltas barn is concluding an amazing Santa Anita meet; this one loves the hill and has a parking lot post.

4 Great Friends Rule – Like when Bill Spawr claims a horse, takes his time, then aggressively bumps up in class; doesn’t miss too often.

Long Shot – 3 Zimmer

Race 3 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

3 Sweetrayofsunshine – Bill Spawr has a chance to complete the daily double here; mare has done nothing been win money since claimed.

2 Buckingham Bull – Rugged foe clearly fits at this class level; has tactical speed to lead or follow close up.

Long Shot – 1 Silver Hustler

Race 4 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $56,000, 2-year-olds

7 Sky Preacher – With two good races under his belt, he tries a route and turf for the first time; one to beat in a wide open affair.

5 Delaney’s Joy – A FTS with decent looking turf pedigree for Doug O’Neill; your edge is you will see all of the tote board action.

Long Shot – 6 Nakamoto

Race 5 – 5 furlongs, Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds

4 Lucky Logan – There are some difficult races on this card; take a stab at Peter Miller chalk, was 4/5 price in career debut.

9 London Legacy – Showed good early lick before stopping to a walk late; these babies have every right to improve race to race.

Long Shot – 3 Zinvor

Race 6 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

6 Kukaluka – This card seems to get harder and harder as I go along; this filly can provide a small upset from the Peter Miller barn.

8 Market Quote – Tepid chalk comes off the shelf since last seen at Del Mar; hard to tell how wound tight mare is for this return.

Long Shot – 9 Highly Rated

Race 7 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $26,000, Claiming $20,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

5 Doctor Glynis – Like the subtle class drop from this Steve Miyadi charge; blinkers off, this barn is known to cash a ticket or two.

6 Time for Angie – Logical chalk was claimed after a good second; is spotted correctly to win right off the bat.

Long Shot – 1 Larocco

Race 8 – 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

3 Storm the Channel – Has run two good seconds and is now a juicy 6/1 morning line; no shock if Doug O’Neill barn upsets the finale.

7 Clickjab – Logical chalk was running well late in career debut; now stretching out in distance, has the pedigree for 2-turns and turf.

Long Shot – 6 Larry Birdstone

Best Bet – 4 Tiz Midnight (race 1)
