Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Santa Margarita S. Stakes

SIMPLY JOKING (4) looks the one to beat after leading throughout to win at Santa Anita over 1710m by 6.8L last start, with LEMON MUFFIN (2) a distant 3rd in that same race. LAVENDER LOVE (5) brings strong local form, scoring by 4.5L at Santa Anita over 1609m two weeks ago after a solid 3rd at the same trip. SEISMIC BEAUTY (3) resumes and had a sharp trio of wins last year, including a dominant 10L victory at Santa Anita over 1609m, and is a key chance if returning near that level.
