Friday's 6th race (3:35pm PT) from Santa Anita Park is a $32,000 claiming event for fillies and mares dashing six and one-half furlongs on the downhill turf course.

#3 Bella Swan (9-2) is 2-for-2 over the local weeds and could sit the right trip behind the speed under Mike Smith. She faced subsequent Graded downhill winner Mizdirection across town last time and captured her lone start at this level Oct 9.

#4 Linda Lou (7-2) has never raced this low and today's pilot Rosario just missed with her at this course/distance last January.

#11 Sleep Tight (3-1) has speed and drops out of the Optional Claiming ranks. The consistent 7yo mare is 0-for-4 over the local weeds.

#2 Picture Perfect (6-1) was nabbed out of her last by John Sadler. She turns back and hustling apprentice Eswan Flores is riding well at the Great Race Place.

#6 Maya Angelina (8-1) missed by a nose in a $25,000 Hollywood turf sprint Dec 11.
