Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Triple Bend S. Stakes

NYSOS (2) Right in contention last run at Churchill Downs and good career start. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is highly regarded and has a positive alley. Will be motoring home late. Definite claims. DR. VENKMAN (5) First up from a break of 39 weeks and was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 4 1/2L first up last preparation at this track. Rates well in this race. SMOOTH CRUISEIN (4) Finished hard to win last run around here. Not out of this. VLAHOS (1) Finished 4th last time at the track. Happy to overlook that run and has drawn the rails. Expecting to settle positively. Could run a place.
