4:00 pm Santa Anita (Race 1) – Kings River Knight 2/1 (2-star play)

The 5-year-old showed good form for the Andy Mathis barn completing a hat-trick when winning an allowance event over a mile at Golden Gate Fields back in November. Two solid efforts in defeat followed including when a length fourth in a stakes event here in January. A switch to front-running when debuting for current handler John Sadler nearly brought about a stakes success when a nose second over six-and-a-half-furlongs here in March and the gelding looks up to taking this. 

5:41 pm Santa Anita (Race 4) – Closing Remarks 6/5 (2-star play)

Registered a her first victory in more than a year when coming home one-and-a-half-lengths clear of her rivals in the Grade 2 Royal Heroine over this course and distance at the start of last month. Followed that effort up with a 3-length fourth in a Grade 3 contest over the same track and trip just over 4 weeks later. The daughter of Vronsky has been in good form in the mornings since and is selected to score here. 

7:45 pm Santa Anita (Race 8) – Hacking It Up 2/1 (2-star play)

The son of Nyquist demonstrated that he is up to performing at stakes level when registering a half-length success in a minor contest at Golden Gate Fields at the end of last month. Trained by George Papaprodromou, the 3-year-old had excuses when disappointing in finishing last of 4 on the main track here prior. Umberto Rispoli is a positive jockey booking and he is taken to add to the 12 winners he has ridden already at this meeting.
