Santa Anita:
6th race--
#7 FED BIZ (7-2) Baffert-trained colt turned in a solid third-place effort in the Grade 1 Kilroe Mile when making his turf debut. He drops into a softer spot and might make the lead if new rider Stevens chooses to put him in front. Either way, tab as a Pick Six “single”.
Yesterday's Result: EVER ALERT ($6.60) won the 8th race.
Live Longshot: COOL ROGER (4th race)
ShowVivor: BEHOLDER (5th race)
Days Survived: 3

Santa Anita:
8th race--
#7 EVER ALERT (5-2) Comebacker from red-hot Kitchingman barn has been away since being pulled at at Del Mar last summer but has trained in good style and lands top rider Maldonado for this. He should be forwardly placed and looks as good as any in this bottom-level maiden claimer.

Live Longshot: MISS ELLANY (5th race)
ShowVivor: THISONESFORRICKY (1st race)

Santa Anita:

#2 HORIZON SKY (5-2) Mullins-trained colt ran a solid third behind Rosengold in Baffle Stakes when making his U.S. debut over the hillside course a month ago. With that race under his belt and dropping into a a softer allowance, 'Sky looks like a “single” in today's Pick Six (carryover of more than $88,000).
Sunday's Result: Missed exacta box in 1st race.

Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Mar. 31
Santa Anita:
1st race--
Exacta Box 3-5
Let's start the day by boxing the first race exacta, using favorite FARAYYA (8-5) and comebacker CAMRYN KATE (6-1). Farayya has shown ability in two starts, cuts back in distance and switches back to turf. 'Kate has been away since June but has trained in sharp style for French and figures as a pace factor from the bell.
Yesterday's Result: DIAMONDSDIPLOMAT ($4.00) won the 2nd race.
Live Longshot: PLAZARITA (7th race)
ShowVivor: UBELONGTOMEMISSY (2nd race)
