SA 7 (California Flag Handicap, CA-bred, 5.5T)Primary – #4 BAJA SUR, #2 Mikes Tiznow
Secondary – #6 Galilean, #5 Ultimate Bango
Wagers: #4 to win, Exacta 4/2-5-6, Exacta 2-5-6/4, Trifecta 2-4-6/2-4-6/5
Comments: #4 Baja Sur (2-1) ran well without winning in his last three turf sprints. I like his early-pressing versatility and he might be able to wear down #2 Mikes Tiznow (2-1) at this distance. The latter ran well in all six turf sprints at five panels. He had his 3-race turf sprint win streak snapped in a close 4th in the Green Flash last time, and he should be in the thick of things throughout once again. #6 Galilean (8-5) adds blinkers and turns back in distance. He was competitive in his previous dirt sprints and will probably stalk outside under Rispoli. #5 Ultimate Bango (10-1) woke up with a rallying pace finish in a $40k claimer Sept. 25, and Glatt claimed him that day. He puts blinkers back on and used to be of this quality. Cedillo wins races with this barn and I would not be shocked if he ran well in this spot.
