Race Details

This is Race 5 of the day’s card from Santa Anita is this Stakes over five and a half furlongs. This is open to 3 year olds and above and there are 8 declared to run. The winner takes $126,000.

Race Favourite

JOLIE OLIMPICA is the 11/8 favourite for the Stakes. Her last effort was in the Grade 2 Buena Vista Stakes at 1m at the venue. She took second of nine in that effort and wasn’t disgraced at all.

The 4 year old Brazilian filly looks a very good contender here in what will be her third racetrack appearance. She opened with a win in January in a Stakes effort. So she comes back down on a trip so she should be in the frame.

Tips

STEALTHEDIAMONDS is bringing some very nice form with her into this one and is a big 17/2 shot* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 18:12 GMT on Sunday, 24th April 2020). The 4 year old filly has won twice from 10 starts.

She is back from a 64 day break after taking second place in a Santa Anita Stakes in late March. This will be the third straight run that she has had after having come back from at least a 55 day break. She has scored in two of her last three runs since moving yard to Mike Puype.

Race Details

This is a 1m trip in what is the Shoemaker Miles Stakes. This is a fast turf contest and it is the first of the Grade 1 fixtures. The fixture is open to 3 year olds plus and there are 11 declared to run. The winner walks away with $189,000.

Race Favourite

It is RAGING BULL who is the 7/2 favourite* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 18:12 GMT on Sunday, 24th April 2020). He is a very solid performer. He was fourth in the Woodbine Mile during his latest effort. The 5 year old is back from a 254 day break, which was that Woodbine Mile effort. He’s not been outside of the top four in any of his last six efforts.

Tips

Second favourite WITHOUT PAROLE was out of the places on his last effort, which was at Gulfstream in a Grade 1 effort. That was the massive Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes. Without Parole had been the 9/4F for that contest. That was a furlong and a half further than this contest so is likely to be comfortable coming back down a bit.

5 year old RIVER BOYNE comes back into action searching for a hattrick. The most recent of those wins was 79 days ago when he scored a success in the Frank E Kilroe Mile Stakes (Grade 1). That at course and distance back in March. So he will have big claims in this one to at least to get into the money.

Race Details

Race 10 from Santa Anita is a claimer. This is a 1m contest on the dirt at the track and it is open to 3 year olds and above. There are 9 declared for this, the penultimate race on the card.

Race Favourite

Heading up the market for this one is FIRE WHEN READY at 10/3* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 18:12 GMT on Sunday, 24th April 2020). He is back from an 85 day break after taking third of five at the venue over 6F.

Fire When Ready has knocked around higher grade races than this. It will be just the second run for his new yard. Even his recent third was in a much better race than this.

Tips

CAMINO DE ESTRELLA almost scored second of six on his last trip. That was at Turf Paradise in late January. So this is coming back from a 124 day break. He hasn’t been outside of the top three in his last three runs. He has won before at Santa Anita and has every chance of getting into the frame.

There is WILSHERE DUDE who warrants some respect. The 5 year old gelding has taken a second place finish in his last two runs. So he has been knocking on the door and is a very promising horse. There should be a decent chance of him getting into the money in this latest run.

Race Details

The final vacation from Santa Anita on Monday is the Gamely Stakes. This is a Fillies Grade 1 contest over a 1m 1f trip. There are eleven declared for the contest which is open to 3 year olds and above. The winner takes $189,000.

Race Favourite

The favourite for this Stakes action is French runner ETOILE at 5/2* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 18:12 GMT on Sunday, 24th April 2020). Punters may have enough interest in taking on the favourite who is on her first run for her new yard.

Her last run was in October 2019 at Paris Longchamp where she was 9th of 12. She is used to being in some massive company with her career kick starting in May last year in winning the Prix Cleopatre Group 3 Stakes.

Tips

One who may be in very good shape for this is 4 year old filly LADY PRANCEALOT from 5/1* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 18:12 GMT on Sunday, 24th April 2020). In her last effort she was 4th of 9 at the venue but was giving up a lot of weight as the second-favourite. She is back from a 93 day break for this one, and that last effort saw her miss a hattrick. A top horse, and can take this.

Coming into this Stakes action looking for a second straight success is KEEPER OFTHE STARS. She has won three of her last six trips. The most recent one of those was in an 8F trip at Santa Anita in late February, when she beat Jolie Olimpica and she also had the better of Giza Goddess in a win back in October at the track. One to watch from 6/1* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 18:12 GMT on Sunday, 24th April 2020).
