Saturday’s 10th race from Santa Anita Park (2-24-17) is the $70,000 Wishing Well Stakes for fillies and mares dashing six and one-half furlongs on the downhill turf course.
#4 BENDABLE (3-1) gained valuable downhill experience in a runner-up finish in the Grade 3 Las Cienegas Jan. 20. Mike Smith rides her well.
#5 Samba Inc (5-2) was a beast in Argentina last year and she sports back-to-back bullets for this. She figures to show speed for Flavien Prat and Bob Baffert.
#7 Gliding By (8-1) was outkicked in the Grade 3 Robert Frankel Stakes at nine furlongs last time. Her last turf win was a nice extended sprint tally at Woodbine and she might finish full of run down the dip.
#2 Miss Southern Miss (5-1) exits a nice optional claiming win down the dip and figures to be running late for Team Desormeaux.
THE PLAYS:
#4 to win
Exacta 4/2-5-7
Exacta 2-5-7/4
Trifecta 4-5/2-4-5-7/2-4-5-7
