Santa Anita:
8th race--
Exacta Box 5-8
Although MILDLY OFFENSIVE (6-5) is the obvious horse to beat, I think HOUT BAY (6-1) has a puncher's chance to upset. Both were impressive first-out maiden winners and there is no reason they can't each come back and run well in this stakes for their top connections.
Yesterday's Result: EXCELLENT NEWS finished third in 9th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: ROMAN GUITAR (7th race)
SHOWVIVOR: MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE (3rd race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 4
