Santa Anita Park Race 9 - San Luis Rey S. Stakes

TRULY QUALITY (2) is going along well and wound up nicely last time over 2012m in the G3 San Marcos Stakes at this track (Turf) to finish third. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Should run well. GOLD PHOENIX (4) was well in commission when resuming last start over 2012m in the G3 San Marcos Stakes at this track (Turf) when seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter and expected to be prominent. MONDEGO (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third in the G3 San Gabriel Stakes at this track (Turf) two starts back then scored by one length last time out over 2012m in the G3 San Marcos Stakes at this track (Turf). Likely to be in the finish again. FLASHIEST (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2012m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Another forward showing is anticipated.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 12 at Gulfstream Park Turf in the G3 WL McKnight Handicap on January 24 over 2414m, 1.5 len behind Layabout carrying 54.5kg at $22.80. Before that second last of 9 at Del Mar Turf in the G2 Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes on November 28 over 2414m, 8 len behind Truly Quality with 55.5kg at $3.10. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resumes off a 42 day letup. First-up won by a 0.3 len at this track January 11 over 1609m defeating Balladeer carrying 56kg at $5.70. Second-up 3rd in a small field at this track in the G3 Thunder Road Stakes on February 7 over 1609m, 5 len behind El Potente with 56kg at $12.60. Looks safely held on recent runs.
