Santa Anita horses to watch: Week of Feb. 22

TRIBE
Trainer: Carla Gaines
Last race: Feb. 13, 3rd
Finish: 6th by 5 1/2
Beyer: 70
This gelding ran into heavy traffic into the stretch of a turf route for $25,000 claimers, nonwinners of two. He didn’t have a fair shot. Call it inconclusive. He is worth chasing at high odds in a similar spot.

CLEARLY CONFUSED
Trainer: Robertino Diodoro
Last race: Feb. 13, 4th
Finish: 1st by 3 1/2
Beyer: 72
A sharp sprint filly at the top of her game, she crushed restricted $16,000 claimers after being guided to the outside. She can win right back, preferably with an outside draw.

WESTERN KITTY
Trainer: Mike Puype
Last race: Feb. 14, 4th
Finish: 7th by 12 3/4
Beyer: 39
A first-timer with good works, she broke slowly and steadied to lose all chance. She was well backed (4.90-1) and is worth following now that she has a race under her belt.

FAMOUS ALICE
Trainer: Tom Proctor
Last race: Feb. 15, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 79
This filly is ready to stretch out. Not quick in a sprint stakes, evenly late, galloped out well. By Kitten’s Joy out of a Quiet American dam, two turns should be just right.

COURTSIDE
Trainer: Robertino Diodoro
Last race: Feb. 16, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by head
Beyer: 67
This back-classer (2011 Cal Cup Sprint winner) raced four and five wide yet barely missed in an $8,000 claiming sprint. Claimed by Diodoro from Kenneth Smith, tab next out in California or Arizona.
