Sunday's 7th race (3:36PM PT) from Santa Anita is the Grade 3 Monrovia Handicap for fillies and mares dashing six and one-half furlongs on the turf. Plenty of early-pressing speed signed on, and I am looking for an off the pace rebound from
#2 Queen Ofthe Catsle (9-2).
Graded downhill winner threw in a below par effort when shipped from
Philly in latest local effort versus similar. She runs well fresh and
should offer a hint of value. #8 Tuscan Evening (9-5) enjoys the hillside course and cuts back after battling
Ventura
at a flat mile. #9 Lemon Chiffon (12-1) is a capable turf sprinter, and
she could finish full of run on the cut back from numerous graded
routes.
The Plays: $24 to win #2, $4 Exacta 2/8-9 ($8), $4 Exacta 8-9/2 ($8)
