Los Alamitos for Friday 5 September 2014
Decent card today at Los Alamitos this afternoon. Next race day we will be covering is on the 19th of September and at that time we will return to full coverage of the Southern California racing circuit.Â
Best of luck as always!
race 1 Â Â average clarity
3  Single Launch  improving.....and.......2 for 2 when racing on conventional dirt with blinkers on........real dirt/blinks today
8  Private Bounty  needed last as the works since are very impressive for the given level
7  Youonlyliveonce  old timer is on the rebound........jock knows this ten year old well and she has been successful on him
2 Â Heavenly Trail
Â
race 2 Â Â average clarity Â
NOTE: 11 El Desperado has a shot if draws into the field from the AE list
4  Tasha's Courage  much better runner (solid figs for the level) since the blinkers were put on two races back........trainer could use a win
7  Julie's Tizzy  so so run 1st after the claim off of one so so work......two nice works since.......should show more today
10  Enlisted Man  last race might have been the gimme......if so this gelding might be tough today
6 Â Mystique Smile
Â
race 3 Â Â average clarity
8  One More Roll   drops a notch.....has shown some early speed......blinkers on today.........shot to get a nice stalk position
1  Ligety  turf tightener in a MSW affair.......drops to mdn30K........ turf legged up and ready to battle for the win
2 Â Papa G Â flashed good early speed in debut.......seems likely to get away and try and hide with a jock upgrade for today
4 Â Meswiss
Â
race 4 Â Â average clarity
5  Bronze Star  worked 6F just 3 days ago........yikes..........Hollendorfer means business with this 1st timer
6  North Of Oswego  drills since suggest that his turf debut tightened up this colt.....rather sure he is ready to roll this time
3  Dream Police  not much at Dmr in last........debut 2 back at Los Alamitos fits
1 Â Dynamite Ride
Long-shot consideration:   8  Bluegrass Sight  very dangerous looking work tab at Bsr for this 1ster
Â
race 5 Â Â average clarity
3  Tatum's Gold  last fits.....best would be to fire effort 2 races back
6  City Ride  improving.......sharp recent work at LA hints she improves again
7  Really A Princess  best early gas......and blinkers on..........solid combo with speed types in Maldonado and Bonde
4 Â High Intensity
Â
race 6 Â Â average clarity
2  Cherubim  tried turf in last and didn't like it.....back to the dirt where he should be tough........impressive recent 59:4 BreezingÂ
3  Regally Soul  improving sort and 1 for 1 on the LA dirt........last fits.......more and he might be the one to overcome
5  Compari  diminishing (laid up since Jan.) star now is an eight year old......and......this is his 1st ever on conventional dirt......but his work regiment on the LA surface is impressive.......seems dangerousÂ
4 Â Brannaman
Long-shot consideration:  6 Prodigious  nowhere in starts 2 and 3 but they were on the turf and AW......back to the LA dirt where he put in a solid debut winning effort
race 7 Â Â slightly above average clarity
1  Patriots Rule  so much the best in this spot.......ran 2nd in latest in a Stakes despite a trip from you know where
3  Eddie's First  plenty to prove on the dirt but worked a decent 6F on it at Bsr........still top pick will need a bad day for this colt to win
5  Solid Wager  seems better on conventional dirt......very best might win with the top pick not producing his best for one reason or another
7 Â What A View
Â
race 8 Â slightly below average clarity
12  AE  Takeit Tothe Limit   seems like dominating speed if he draws in.....and......with a good speed jock aboard
11  AE  Persisting  both lifetime races fit (one turf and one AW).....1st on the "real thing" but bred to handle it.....laid up since Nov. but working as if readyÂ
6  Radiant Dancer  suspicious drop off of a decent MSW debut but obviously solid here if he has remained healthy enough
5 Â Triunfo
3 Â Rock Hard City
8 Â Cleto Â
9 Â Deer Decarchy
