Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
CAN'T SAY THAT (4) fought on for third last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when she came from a long way back on straightening, making it three minor placings in a row. Likely improver with strong prospects. LADY RUTH (5) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time. Cannot be left out of calculations. STORMY GAL (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. HARD HEARTED (3) finished 11 lengths from the winner in eighth at her most recent appearance over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) after she was well back on straightening. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 7 at this track on May 17 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Hot Rod Christine carrying 54.5kg at $8.10. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on April 17 over 1609m, 7 len behind Daddygaveittome with 54kg at $27.30. Doesn't need to improve that much.
