This Saturday’s card at Santa Anita contrasts sharply with last weekend’s lackluster event, offering full fields of competitive runners despite no graded stakes or major prep races on the Southern California circuit. Highlighted is the Wishing Well, a 6-furlong turf sprint for older female horses who haven’t won a graded stakes in the past six months. The race features a mix of seasoned competitors and promising newcomers, including the undefeated Gratefully, graded stakes winner Jungle Peace, and the strong closer Egyptian Mau.
The article provides detailed insights into key contenders, emphasizing their recent performances and racing styles. It concludes with a recommended $3 Turf Pick 3 wager starting with the Wishing Well, encouraging bettors to consider these well-matched horses for a potentially rewarding day at Santa Anita.
