Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Apr. 3
Santa Anita:
5th race--
#7 RUNAWAY WILDCAT (7-2) Stepped up off the Carava claim to record game victory, re-rallying after being headed to post narrrow victory vs. $40,000 types. He drops back down a level, gets off the rail and should enjoy a comfortable stalking trip from outside. Tab right back.
Yesterday's Result: FLASHY GREEN finished second in 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: CHOCOLATE CANDY (8th race)
SHOWVIVOR: SUBTLE GREEK (1st race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 1

Santa Anita:
6th race--
#7 FLASHY GREEN (5-2) Four-year-old colt comes off a nice win over the track and may prove to be a timely claim by Troeger. He again gets pace to run at, should get a great trip from outside and retains Talamo, who won with him last time. Tab right back.
Yesterday's Result: JEFFREY'S GROOVE ran out in 3rd race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: YOU CAN DREAM (7th race)
SHOWVIVOR: DAZZLING DISPLAY (2nd race)

Santa Anita:
3rd race--
#6 JEFFREY'S GROOVE (6-1) Let's take a little stab here in a tough downhill event for mid-grade claimers. Nettles-trained gelding pressed a quick pace before tiring when going a mile last time but should appreciate the cut back in distance. His race one back over this layout was not bad at all.
Yesterday's Result: TAPTAP I'MGONE finished third in 4th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: SARAVAS WILD AGAIN (6th race)
SHOWVIVOR: WORKING AT NIGHT (2nd race)

Santa Anita:
4th race--
#4 TAPTAP I'MGONE (5-2) Paid quick dividends off the Mullins claim, wiring a modest field of maiden claiming Cal-breds. The sophomore filly ran like a different filly and appears the main threat to beat obvious favorite Bella Palooza.
Yesterday's Result: EARNEDNEVERGIVEN finished third in 8th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: MAGIC BEAM (5th race)
SHOWVIVOR: JOB BOSS (2nd race)

Santa Anita:
8th race--
#2 EARNEDNEVERGIVEN (3-1) Hard-knocking older gelding from Machowsky barn turned in an even effort when finishing fourth in a tough Cal-bred stakes but beat similar optional claimers over this course one race back. He's got a sparkling record over the layout and figures to fire another good shot in here.
Yesterday's Result: VAN BRIT ran out in 8th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: GREAT HOT (7th race)
SHOWVIVOR: BANANA CREAM PIE (2nd race)
