Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

CODE DUELLO (3) did well to score at Santa Anita Turf two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing third over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten a neck. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MBAGNICK (6) resumed last time out and finished third over 1308m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Nicely placed and expected to go well. HARD TO FIGURE (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BALADI (1) finished second at Los Alamitos Qh two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths back in sixth. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.

Second-up. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after three months sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track on January 31 over 1308m, 8 len behind Cornucopian carrying 56kg at $29.90. Previously second-up second last of 8 at this track on October 26 over 1207m, 7 len behind Elwood Blues with 56kg at $9.30. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
