Santa Anita Park Race 4

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $49,929

ROSTOVSKY (4) has been in the money five times including first-up last start on January 9 when third over 1609m at Santa Anita (Turf). Goes well here with four top-three finishes to his credit. A maiden win looks imminent. BOTH SIDES OF BAD (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1609m at Santa Anita (Turf). Likely improver with strong prospects. LORENZO BERNINI (1) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth over 1609m at Santa Anita. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ISLAND PARADISE (2) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Santa Anita (Turf). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
