Prime Picks - Handicapping with Jeff Siegel

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis (Fri., Feb. 3, 2012)
Friday, February 3, 2012 - 11:00

The Friday program begins with an early daily double that doesn’t offer much in the way of value. In the opener, #4 Summer Movie drops from the Native Diver Handicap all the way down to a $25,000 claimer; who knows what kind of shape he’s in. The same can be said for #6 El Martillo, another ex-classer who continues to plummet following a series of dull races. This race might be best left alone.

The first week of racing in February begins with a typical Thursday program (the good stuff is saved for the weekends). The opener is an extended sprint for moderate claimers and brings back #5 Square Deal and #3 Star Nicholas, one-two finishers in a similar affair last month. Square Deal moves down a notch to the $12,500 level and is 6/5 on the morning line while Star Nicholas, beaten more than two lengths by his main rival, should appreciate the extra half furlong today while getting a two pound shift in the weights, for whatever that’s worth.

A double Pick-6 carryover pool of $239,519 awaits Sunday handicappers at Santa Anita. The scheme (races 4-9) offers no slam dunk singles, so there’s a good chance for a blockbuster payout.

The early part of the card is, well, lackluster. The opener contains a 4/5 morning line favorite in #2 Flawless Jewel, who just failed as the choice when a fading third in a similar affair last month. She could be odds-on by default; there’s nothing else, really, to embrace. Pass.

A terrific Saturday program begins with the heavy favorite #5 Capital Account expected to make short work of his allowance rivals in the first race. Listed at 6/5 on the morning line but likely go off at odds-on, the Baffert-trained colt has failed as the choice in each of his last two outings but was most recently second to subsequent stakes winner Frumious in an outstanding effort. He’s home free if runs back to that race today.

A $55,584 Pick-6 carryover spices up the Friday eight race program.

We’ll begin the proceedings in the first race with #6 Our First Frog as a rolling exotic single. Dropping into a $40,000 maiden claimer, adding blinkers, retaining Pedroza and catching a below par field for the level, the Hofmans-trained filly beats this group with a repeat of her runner-up effort two races back during the autumn meeting. She exits a killer race and looks hard to deny at anything close to her morning line odds of 2-1.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 - 09:52

The Thursday program begins with a starter’s allowance affair for sophomore fillies and looks to have two main contenders. #2 Teardrops On Fire sprints like she wants to go long and gets her first chance today following a sharp runner-up effort from off the pace in a strong sprint earlier this month. She’s by Thunder Gulch from a mare by Kris S., so on pedigree she should run all day.
