Santa Anita Park Race 9 - San Juan Capistrano S. Stakes
MRS ASTOR (6) was a most impressive winner last time over 2414m in Listed grade at this track (Turf), scoring by 5 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. SANTA BARBARIAN (5) was sent out at $44.60 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1811m in Listed grade at this track (Turf). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. DIVIN PROPOS (7) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 3 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1811m in the G3 Dixie Stakes at Pimlico (Turf). Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. MALTESE FALCON (4) settled well back before finishing 1.5 lengths adrift in sixth over 2012m in the G2 Charles Whittingham Stakes at this track (Turf) last time. Can sneak into the finish. Something for the Multiples: TIME SONG (3) BALLADEER (8)
