    Race Analysis

    TAKE A BREATH (8) finished third two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 0. 1 lengths over 1m2f in the G3 Santa Ana Stakes at this track (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. GRAND SLAM SMILE (9) proved too strong last start and scored by 2. 25 lengths over 6½f in stakes class at this track (Turf). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Goes up a notch this time but she is expected to run well. MAY DAY READY (5) is back at the races for the first time since October 24. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at Saratoga. Now under the care of new trainer Richard E Mandella. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. INNOVATIVE (1) finished eighth over 1m in the G3 Autumn Miss Stakes at this track (Turf) at her most recent appearance on October 26. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
