Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

AUSTONIAN (1) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into ninth over 1609m at this track. Second up record is sound. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. TOUGHERTHANTHEREST (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 1308m at this track five weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. OOBUBBAKAKAYO (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. MOTHER'S PRAYER (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
