Santa Anita Pick 5 Analysis

Race 1

COOL YOUR JETS was slow into stride in his debut on this hillside course Feb. 17 but ran on well for fourth. He ran as if this longer trip will suit. MINISTER’S GLORY is headed the right way as he ran on decently for second in a race just like this here last time out Jan. 27. (2)

Race 2

JIMMY CHILA and HEARTFULLNESS just ran third and fourth, respectively, in a strong route at this level here Feb. 2. The former was routing for the first time, has speed and may be ready to move forward, while the latter was making his first start on the West Coast after racing back East and could improve off that.

Race 3

ROMAN TIZZY continues his solid form, is proven here and at this type of trip. He posted a smart recent work. LEWIS VALE looked good winning a longer route at this level here last time out Feb. 2. That was his first try on this main track. His speed will have him prominent from the bell. MATRICULATE wasn’t beaten far at all when sixth vs. more expensive sprinting here Jan. 27. The drop helps and he’s proven routing. (3)

Race 4

FAST AS CASS ran on for second in his first try on turf, a sprint, here Feb. 17. He was no match for a big winner but showed he handles this footing and that was also his first start in six months so he can improve. READY EDDIE was away slowly and left with too much to do in a race like this last time out Jan. 27. JERSEY’S HEAT ran on for third in a race like this here Jan. 27. He wasn’t as effective sprinting last time this longer trip may suit. (3)

Race 5

LOOKIE LOO blasted maidens here Jan. 21 and was then a sharp second in his first try vs. winners here Feb. 17. He should handle this longer trip. DONWORTH, one-time graded stakes performer, may not be that horse any longer but his few show he’s still got gas in the tank. (2)
