Santa Anita Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Claiming
HARDTOBEBETTERNOW (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1609m at this track (Turf). Launched last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1609m. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. NON DOMICILE (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Fitter and sure to run well. DR FILKINS (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MY MAN JOE ROLDAN (8) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Santa Anita, beaten only 0.6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Santa Anita on April 30 over 1207m, 9 len behind Courtside Action with 57kg at $15.20. The race before that second last in a small field at Santa Anita on February 28 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Millbo Baggins with 57kg at $10.60. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
