Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Saturday, Mar. 5
Santa Anita:
6th race--
#11 IMPERATRIZ (9-2) Comebacker from Avila stable has been away for four months but comes back cheap and has trained well over this strip. The 4-year-old filly has faced stronger in her career and should handle these if she runs anywhere close to her best.
Yesterday's Result: SAANNEEN ($12.00) won the 7th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: MICHAEL THE MAN (7th race)
SHOWVIVOR: CHICO D'ORO (2nd race)

Santa Anita:
7th race--
#11 SAANNEEN (9-2) Liked this filly last time when defeating Cal-breds and I'll come right back with her against open allowance company. Powell-trained miss is sharp, likes this downhill layout, is drawn well outside and has tactical speed. Tab right back.
Yesterday's Result: JAX EL was DQ'd from third in 1st race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: CRAZY AS A FOX (6th race)
SHOWVIVOR: MR. SATURDAYNIGHT (4th race)

Santa Anita:
1st race--
#7 JAX EL (5-2) Let's start the week off with a winner as Abrams-trained filly shortens back up to a sprint after good runner-up effort going a flat mile. She broke her maiden over this layout one back and seems ideally suited to this game.
Yesterday's Result: PARK TIME LUCK finished fourth in 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: EDGEWICK ROAD (6th race)
SHOWVIVOR: ACHAK (3rd race)

Santa Anita:
6th race--
#4 PARK TIME LUCK (7-2) Claimed by Carava off a winning try at Golden Gate, 'LUCK should fit very well in here. A winner in nine of 19 career starts, the 4-year-old filly has tactical speed, lands leading rider Bejarano and figures to fire another good shot over the SA dirt track.
Yesterday's Result: SHE'S NOT LION finished third in 1st race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: CACTUS HOUSE (9th race)
SHOWVIVOR: SILVER LUNA (1st race)

Santa Anita:
1st race--
#3 SHE'S NOT LION (8-1) In a wide-open heat that figures to be moved to the main track (heavy overnight rains), let's take a shot with this recent Avila claim. She ran poorly when dropped way down to $10,000 but gets a confident four-level class boost by her new connections. Tab in a wide-open contest.
Yesterday's Result: MISS ADDY KISS ($10.80) won the 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: ANTARES WORLD (7th race)
SHOWVIVOR: MR. COMMONS (8th race)
