Carl Nicholson previews Friday's meet at Santa Anita and guides us through the reasoning behind his plays.
RACE OF THE DAY - RACE 5
FRATELLI was claimed on the back of a win last time out. He is pitched straight into deeper company by the new barn after that impressive win and no doubt he could be up to the job. PREACHING TRAINER has some rock solid form at this level and deservedly got off the mark for the season last time out. He looks sure to go close once again. QUICK FINISH always seems to be in the mix, but finds it hard to get the head in front. RINSE AND REPEAT is a fair performer on his day and could be a bit of value to hit the frame at a price.
PREACHING TRAINER has the right profile and a great attitude to win this and back up after scoring last time out. RINSE AND REPEAT could outrun his odds and make the frame.

RACE 2
BLAME IT ON KITTY looks to have landed on a winnable opportunity now dropped in grade and should take advantage.
RACE 7
HIDDEN PROMISE scored with something in hand last time out and can be expected to go very well in the bid for a follow up.
RACE 8
NORTH COUNTY GUY looks an interesting runner now that he's dropping back to the right grade. He was outclassed last time out, but this field is not that deep and he should capitalize.
