Santa Anita Park Race 8

La Canada S. Stakes

Prize Money: $161,290

CAVALIERI (6) First run back from break. Was a comprehensive winner by 3 1/2L last time around here. Displays good tactical speed. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is a strong choice aboard. Capable of taking this out. BIG HUG (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Turf Paradise. First race for a new trainer. Finishes off strongly. Major chance. MUSICAL MISCHIEF (4) Folded up in the straight when 6th last time at Churchill Downs. Has the potential to improve sharply and will be well suited at the distance. Expect to go close. ALPHA BELLA (1) Resuming after a break. Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Del Mar Thoroughbred and has the ideal barrier. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form. Keep in mind.
