Free: Santa Anita horses to watch from Feb. 2-5

ESTRECHADA
Trainer: Mike Puype
Last race: Feb. 2, race 8
Finish: Second by one and one-quarter lengths
Beyer: 92
First in three months and first for Puype, this South American mare ran super behind an in-form stakes winner, finishing clear of third. Any surface will do; prefers marathon.

MY AUNT TILLIE
Trainer: Mike Puype
Last race: Feb. 3, race 4
Finish: Fifth by 3 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 66
A comebacker with gaps in her work pattern, this filly ran like she needed one; race was won by a stablemate. ’Tillie is worth following in similar Cal-bred maiden race on turf.

SAWYER’S HILL
Trainer: Kristin Mulhall
Last race: Feb. 4, race 6
Finish: Fourth by one and one-half lengths
Beyer: 91
Wide start to finish in N2X turf mile, this G2-placed comebacker ran super. He is 6, rounding into form, and positioned for a successful season if he stays sound.

HAYABUSA ONE
Trainer: Graham Motion
Last race: Feb. 5, race 7
Finish: Fourth by 2 1/4 lengths
Beyer: 87
Racing above his conditions in N3X turf route, this deep closer rallied from last, finished well but too late. He can drop to N2X, major threat in race with speed to run at.

TONY BLACKJACK
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Feb. 5, race 8
Finish: Sixth by 10 lengths
Beyer: 43
This first-time starter hopped at the break, steadied, and was away last. Uncomfortable behind runners, he finished okay inside and between runners. Likely move-up next out.
