Free: Santa Anita pick four for Sunday, April 12

ARCADIA, Calif. – The goal in a pick-four play Sunday at Santa Anita is to stay live to a single in the final race. The 50-cent pick four covers races 6-9; the cost of the wager is $20.

Race 6

CRUSHED VELVET (1) and HUMORISTICA (5) are the favorites in this route for N1X fillies and mares. They should provide sufficient coverage. Crushed Velvet, the 3-1 second choice, stretches out from an even-paced sprint comeback. She has speed and an inside post. Humoristica, the 5-2 favorite, ran better than it looked in a turf sprint last out.

Race 7

A turf sprint for $25,000 claiming fillies and mares is a spread. The ticket will use five of the nine. SMOOTH TALKER (3) moves up in class after a romp on dirt; ALWAYS A CHANCE (4) finished second vs. similar; LORD KITRA (5) returns with the “no-claim” waiver; KIAMA (7) is favored; WINNINGINFASHION (8) is a route-to-sprint knockout.

Race 8

The $75,000 San Pedro Stakes is an intriguing sprint for 3-year-olds; the ticket will use four – allowance winner WELL MAYBE (1), maiden winner KENTUCKIAN (2), comebacker OM (7), and longshot closer NO PROBLEM (8).

Race 9

IVANA BEAT YABAD (1) is a single in this maiden 40/50 turf sprint. She added blinkers last out and ran the race of her career, fourth after setting a fast pace. She drops from maiden-75 and has enough speed to establish position from the inside post.

Race 6: 1, 5
Race 7: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
