SANTA ANITA Race #1

Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (CORRESPONDENT) - She's finished second in four of her five starts and has been freshened-up by trainer Tom Proctor since missing by a 1/2 length at Del Mar on August 28. Working well locally and filly by "Rock Hard Ten" is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Heidi Maria) - May be favored here as she stretches-out in distance and moves to the turf for the first time. Working very fast for her first race since Sept. 5 and daughter of "Rockport Harbor" has fine early speed and is bred to like the grass. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Mayakoba Mesa) - Has the rail, some positional speed, and filly by "Sky Mesa" will be trying the turf and a two-turn distance both for the first time. Trainer Bill Spawr is having a fine meet and adds blinkers to this filly for the first time.
