Full Field Analysis (8 Fillies)

PP #1 — Cee Drew (8‑1)

Pedigree: Cistron – You’re A Goat (GB)

Weight: 124 lbs

Jockey: Armando Ayuso

Trainer: Dan Blacker

Recent Finish: 5th in Santa Ysabel (G3), HRN speed: 80

Analysis:

A filly with early speed but inconsistent finishing ability. Her graded‑stakes try was respectable, and Ayuso is riding well. Needs a step forward to win but is a useful exotics piece.

PP #2 — Lino’s Angel (20‑1)

Pedigree: Uncle Lino – Endless Thirst

Weight: 122 lbs

Jockey: Victor Espinoza

Trainer: Edwin G. Alvarez

Recent Finish: 5th in SA Allowance Optional Claiming (3/27/26), HRN speed: 83

Analysis:

A longshot with modest allowance form. Espinoza is a veteran who can elevate a horse, but Lino’s Angel appears outclassed. Deep longshot.

PP #3 — Cecilia Street (8‑1)

Pedigree: Stanford – A Walk in the Park

Weight: 122 lbs

Jockey: Mirco Demuro

Trainer: Leonard Powell

Recent Finish: 3rd in California Cup Oaks, HRN speed: 88

Analysis:

A consistent filly with improving form. Demuro is excellent with turf‑to‑dirt types and tactical runners. A live value contender.

PP #4 — Donttellmewhattodo (20‑1)

Pedigree: Gato Del Oro – Princess Rahy

Weight: 120 lbs

Jockey: Florent Geroux

Trainer: George Papaprodromou

Recent Finish: 3rd in SA Allowance Optional Claiming (3/27/26), HRN speed: 92

Analysis:

Geroux is a major upgrade, and the filly’s last race was strong. Still needs a career‑best effort to win. Exotics only.

PP #5 — Another Zero (3‑1)

Pedigree: I’ll Have Another – How About Zero

Weight: 120 lbs

Jockey: Juan J. Hernandez

Trainer: Antonio C. Garcia

Recent Finish: Won SA MSW (3/8/26), HRN speed: 101

Analysis:

A sharp maiden winner with a big speed figure. Hernandez is the top rider at Santa Anita. Another Zero is an exciting prospect and a major win contender.

PP #6 — Too Sassy (6‑1)

Pedigree: Om – I’m Sassy

Weight: 124 lbs

Jockey: Tyler Baze

Trainer: Sam J. Scolamieri

Recent Finish: 5th in California Cup Oaks, HRN speed: 85

Analysis:

Drops in class and has back races that make her competitive. Baze is strong with pace‑pressing types. A dangerous mid‑price filly.

PP #7 — Mohaven (1‑1, Morning‑Line Favorite)

Pedigree: Yaupon – Bahama Mischief

Weight: 124 lbs

Jockey: Emisael Jaramillo

Trainer: John W. Sadler

Recent Finish: 5th in Sweet Life Stakes (LS), HRN speed: 76

IrishRacing Rating: 89 (strongest overall form)

Analysis:

The deserving favorite. Mohaven has the strongest overall form and top ratings. Sadler excels with California‑bred sprinters, and Jaramillo is a powerful finisher. If she handles the class rise, she is the most likely winner.

PP #8 — Tapatia Mia (15‑1)

Pedigree: Stay Thirsty – Sweet Lips Pooh

Weight: 120 lbs

Jockey: Tiago Pereira

Trainer: Steve Knapp

Recent Finish: 5th in SA Allowance Optional Claiming (2/20/26), HRN speed: 83

Analysis:

A filly with some early speed but inconsistent late punch. Needs a perfect trip. Longshot.
