Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Buena Vista S. Stakes

THOUGHT PROCESS (1) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1811m at Del Mar Turf. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. VIBEZ (7) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1609m at this track. J J Hernandez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. GRAND SLAM SMILE (2) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 1308m in Listed grade at this track (Turf), getting home by 1.5 lengths. Has never missed the frame second-up and is expected to run well again. PRINCESA MOCHE (4) raced on the pace over 1609m in the G3 Megahertz Stakes at this track (Turf) last time and went on to win by 0.3 lengths. M Demuro who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Not to be discounted.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after two months won by 1.5 len at this track LR January 17 over 1308m defeating Take Another Card with 56kg at $1.80. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at Del Mar Turf in LR on July 20 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Medoro carrying 56.5kg at $24.30. Clearly the one to beat again. Improver with winning prospects.
