ARCADIA, Calif. – The lure of a pick six carryover Friday at Santa Anita is complicated by an ominous weather forecast calling for all-day rain Thursday and uncertain track condition Friday. A carryover of $74,329 is up for grabs, and bettors might consider the $1 pick six a virtual pick five based on a potential standout in an allowance dirt sprint. But the sequence on races 3-8 also includes two grass races on a course likely to be wet. Wet dirt is less problematic. “I’ll take the weather,” trainer Michael McCarthy said. “A little moisture in the track would make it a little tighter and faster.” McCarthy’s dirt entrants Friday will include heavily favored Sweet Azteca in an allowance sprint, race 7. Friday’s carryover is the second this meet. New money in the $650,000 to $700,000 range is likely. Race 3 is scheduled for turf, a $32,000 claiming mile for fillies and mares. Tiergarten makes her first start of the meet against recent one-two finishers Chasingserendipity and Quaria Thunder. The comeback win by Chasingserendipity was her first in nearly seven months. “She was coming off a long layoff, she’s got a right to improve a little bit,” trainer Vladimir Cerin said. :: Access morning workout reports straight from the tracks and get an edge with DRF Clocker Reports She will do it without her winning rider. Juan Hernandez switches to Tiergarten, whose races last season rank among the field’s fastest. Umberto Rispoli rides Chasingserendipity. The likelihood of a wet course does not necessarily create chaos, turf-route favorites are 4 for 6 this meet on good footing. Race 4 is a puzzling sprint for $32,000 maiden-claiming 3-year-olds with front-runner Smiling Jojo. Although he has faded after setting or pressing the pace in all four of his starts, he may improve adding Lasix. Lettheliquortalk and Good At Being Bad drop in class second out. First-time starter Takamakahara has worked fast at Los Alamitos. None can be trusted. Race 5, a $32,000 claiming sprint, can be whittled down to streaking Top Gun Tommy and veteran stakes winner Desmond Doss. Rail-drawn Top Gun Tommy seeks his fourth straight following a highly rated $25,000 win from which he was reclaimed by trainer Steve Knapp. Desmond Doss, drawn outside, is an 8-year-old California-bred stakes winner dropping to the lowest level of his career. It looks like a two-horse race. Race 6 is scheduled for turf with California-bred maiden fillies and mares going one mile, including one of the most reliable runners on the card. In Her Pryme makes her third start after a fifth-place sprint debut and a fourth at a mile. Trainer Carla Gaines expects a top effort Friday. Gaines said In Her Pryme’s debut “was just to get her started, and she probably wasn’t quite ready the other day to run a mile.” In Her Pryme ran well after losing ground and hitting traffic on the far turn. Friday, Gaines said, “she’s primed and ready to go. No pun intended.” In Her Pryme must reel in front-runner Sand to Sea and make up a deficit of nearly four lengths on Bougie Like, runner-up by a neck in the mile race In Her Pryme lost by 3 3/4 lengths. Gaines also entered Uptown Preacher, who may need the race. In Her Pryme is a potential single. Race 7, an entry-level allowance sprint for fillies and mares, includes Sweet Azteca. She scored a sharp debut win last spring at Churchill Downs, then was off eight months. She returned Jan. 1 in the Grade 3 Las Flores, set the pace while wide, drifted wider into the stretch, and finished third in a useful comeback. McCarthy nominated Sweet Azteca to the Grade 2 Santa Monica on Saturday, but he has Three Witches for that race and said the allowance “makes more sense” for Sweet Azteca. “I like the spacing to the Beholder Mile,” he said. “Hopefully, we get past Friday and we might try stretching her out.” The Beholder Mile is on March 9. Flavien Prat rides Sweet Azteca, whose rivals include Llorona, a sharp debut winner but unplaced at odds-on second time out. Trainer Richard Mandella suspects she did not care for the slow surface. :: Bet with the Best! Get FREE All-Access PPs and Weekly Cashback when you wager on DRF Bets. Llorona has worked well since and should catch a quicker surface Friday. Sweet Azteca, however, looks tough from the outside post. Race 8 is for maiden 3-year-old dirt fillies at one mile, led by recent dirt-mile runner-up Ultimate Authority. Based on her 81 Beyer, one could argue she is a cinch. But second-time starter She’z the Law is better than her seventh-place sprint debut suggests. “She missed the break, got dirt, it was kind of a disaster,” trainer Mark Glatt said. “We have high hopes for her.” Prat has worked She’z the Law and rode her first out, but Glatt was not sure if he would make the Friday race, which is how Prat ended up on likely favorite Ultimate Authority. Frankie Dettori will ride She’z the Law, who adds Lasix. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
