Friday's 8th race (4:36pm PT) from Santa Anita Park is a $30,000 Maiden Claiming event for 3-year-olds traveling a flat mile on the main track.
#10 Stormy Bob (6-1) was one of my contenders in his local dirt route bow vs. this kind Dec 30 but he never got involved after a slow beginning. Mitchell excels with second time starters and barn $$ rider Garcia sticks. Tab for improvement.

#8 War Politics (6-1) finished 6th vs. promising sophomore Groovin' Solo in a straight Maiden event off the claim Dec 3. He is back with Maiden Claiming friends, dons the hood, and Bejarano is a profitable 43% with O'Neill recently.
#5 Victoriasugrdaddy (8-1) landed the show in his first two route outings at this level and got a breather after finishing 8th at Hollywood Dec 2. Rosario is 2-for-3 with Hess recently and he can get a piece of this at square odds.
The Plays:
$10 to win #10
$2 Exacta Box 8-10 ($4)
$1 Trifecta 8-10/ALL/5 ($16)
