Santa Anita Park Race 10 - Santa Anita Derby Stakes
BARNES (4) Was outmuscled when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last time here and showing consistent performance in races. Juan J Hernandez is a crucial engagement. Rates a winning chance. CITIZEN BULL (2) Back after a spell. Dictated terms in front to win by a margin of 3 3/4L last time at the track and good career start. Should come to hand quickly. Hard to dismiss. JOURNALISM (1) Bold effort when winning last run around here and has the ideal gate. Jockey Umberto Rispoli and trainer Michael W Mccarthy are a strong team. One of the hopes. BAEZA (5) Made a mess of them when winning by 4 3/4L last run around here and good career start. Getting better in recent performances. Worth at least a place bet in this race.

Dashed home to win last run around here and drawn well. Umberto Rispoli and Michael W Mccarthy are usually competitive together. Should get going late. Showing consistent performance in races. Will be around the mark.

Fresh after a break. Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last time around here and solid career start. Has plenty of early speed. Well respected contender.

Worked hard to place 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last time here and solid career start. Jockey Juan J Hernandez adds value. Solid chance.
