Sunday's 8th race (4:07pm PT) from Santa Anita Park is the $70,000 Wishing Well Stakes for fillies and mares dashing six and one-half furlongs on the turf course.
#9 Teroda (7-2) looked great from a similar outer post in an entry level course/distance tally Jan 1. John Sadler's 4yo filly is getting good in a hurry and Rosario chose her over inside contender #1 Givine (5-2). An outer tactical trip is expected.

#3 Catchy Tune (4-1) exits a nice Optional Claiming downhill win and her crafty low profile trainer (Paco Gonzalez) excels 2nd off the shelf. A tactical trip is anticipated.
#6 Unzip Me (8-5) is 6-for-10 down the dip but has been the beaten favorite in 4 of her last 6 and will take too much action once again.
#7 Fifth Commandment (15-1) chased a fast pace before fading in the G3 Monrovia Jan 2. She does some of her best work in turf sprint and can spice up the exotics in her second start off a 4+ month layoff.
