Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of Feb. 25, 2019

CONTINENTAL DIVIDE

Trainer: Jim Cassidy

Last race: Feb. 22, 7th

Finish: S2nd by 1 1/4

Beyer: 83

Off six months, this Cal-bred N1X ran the race of his career in a fast turf mile. Late-developing 4-year-old finally is putting it together, and should be tough next time vs. similar.

TOUGH BUT NICE

Trainer: Hector Palma

Last race: Feb. 23, 7th

Finish: 4th by 1 3/4

Beyer: 67

After losing him for $25,000 three starts back, Palma reclaimed this gelding for $12,500. Older speedster has won six of 29 starts for Palma, and is always a front-running threat.

MS BAD BEHAVIOR

Trainer: Richard Baltas

Last race: Feb. 23, 8th

Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4

Beyer: 88

One mile was too far for this graded stakes-placed mare, who chased a hot pace, made the lead and got run over. Would be tough in the $100,000 Irish O’Brien Stakes on the downhill turf course March 17.
