Santa Anita - Friday 20th February 2026
IMPROBABLE U has been knocking on the door with four placed efforts and looks ready to break through. Debby's Gal has shown promise in similar company. Mcsniper makes debut and could surprise.
A. P. AGAIN looks the one to beat after winning last time out over a similar trip. Flashy Fritz has shown consistent form and could challenge, while Wave With Envy drops in class and may improve.
BLACKSMITH has strong form, including a runner-up in a Grade 2, and looks the one to beat. Easy Company placed well in a similar race last time. Authentic Patriot could improve on second start.
TOUGHERTHANTHEREST steps down in class and could bounce back to form. Dark Marcus has been consistent at this level and Austonian is another to consider after a recent placed effort.
AHRENS drops in class after a debut in tougher company and could prove too good. Trail Blaze has placed twice recently and rates next best. Another Juanito is also in with a shout.
HANDSOME TICKET steps up in class but looks well-placed to build on his last-time-out win. Ballyhooligan won over C&D last time and rates a danger, while Mici's Express placed in tougher company recently.
SHARONS BEACH narrowly missed out last time and looks primed to go one better. Whynotanotherone showed promise in a stronger race recently. Montana Jet could make an impact on debut.
MY KAT has the best recent form and looks well-placed to succeed. Lino's Angel finished a good second last time out and could challenge. Libel Proof is another with claims based on previous performances.
COACH CRONIN has strong form and looks the one to beat despite a disappointing run last time out. Afternoon Nap could pose the main threat, while Special Club is also in contention after a recent win.
