Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Apr. 21
Santa Anita:
8th race--
#7 CAPTAIN CORRIGAN (5-2) Recent Kitchingman claim comes off a solid runner-up try at MC$20,000 level and should be able to handle the slight class raise and graduate in this spot, especially after getting a big rider upgrade to Maldonado.
Yesterday's Result: ALWAYS THE SAME ($11.80) won the 5th race.
Live Longshot: INFLAMED SPIRIT (4th race)

Santa Anita:
5th race--
#4 ALWAYS THE SAME (6-1) Not easy to find value on this card but let's take a little shot with this front-running gelding from Fanning barn. 'SAME exits a tougher “open” $8,000 claimer to run in this restricted spot and might be able to shake loose early and never look back.
Yesterday's Result: GOOD ACTRESS finished third in 1st race.
Live Longshot: JUST IRISH (8th race)

Santa Anita:
1st race--
#1 GOOD ACKTRESS (5-2) Great spot to try to beat the heavy favorite and start the day off with a winner. Recent Mullins claim comes off a solid runner-up effort and could be ready to break through with third career win after spending a month with normally high-percentage trainer that does super first off the claim.
Yesterday's Result: CALLOUS EFFECT ran out in 8th race.
Live Longshot: LUCKYVIC (2nd race)

Santa Anita:
8th race--
#6 CALLOUS EFFECT (3-1) Puype-trained filly has run well in both local starts, including a good runner-up vs. similar starter allowance foes coming down the hillside course. No reason she won't handle two turns and should fall into a good spot behind the speed.
Yesterday's Result: SWEET SWAP ($6.20) won the 7th race.
Live Longshot: SNACKABLE (7th race)
ShowVivor: JUST BECAUSE (5th race)

Santa Anita:
7th race--
#6 SWEET SWAP (7-2) Very competitive race but Sadler-trained colt was beaten only a head by similar last time over this layout and usually gives his best effort. He switches to leading man Bejarano and looks to have a slight edge in difficult heat.
Yesterday's Result: NO TRICKS FOR JACK finished fourth in 7th race.
Live Longshot: DISTANT IMAGE (2nd race)
ShowVivor: MAKER OR BREAKER (3rd race)
