Anita Partner (#6)

Had subtle trouble in both of her 2018 efforts down the hill at Santa Anita.

Kept solid company in her California starts last year.

Should find this one-turn mile distance to be perfect.

Race 6:
Follow the Signs (#3)

Would likely win this race if he were to run back to either of his last two turf efforts.

Ran much better than it appears last time after dueling through fast early fractions with a longshot that finished far back.
