Los Alamitos for Friday 19 September 2014
Back from some R & R and feeling good.
So so card today but the weekend racing is quite good quality wise for Lrc. Hope it is as good handicapping wise as well.
Best of luck as always!
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
3 Slapshot Man  debut was decent......but more importantly improved works since.....forward we go today
5  Cloudy River  bet hard in debut and ran fairly well.......solid today if benefited from the race
4 Karaoke Cat  Clifford Sise used to be dangerous with mc 1sters in the past
6Â Papa Kade
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
6 Boom Boys  both lifetime endeavors fit.....and the recent works have never been better
3 Money Tree  lone race at Lrc fits and it is somewhat hidden by a so so trip......better jock up today
2 Swiss Fondue  strong race in mc debut back on 14 August on the AW........fits well here if he can manage to do as well on the conventional dirt at Lrc
10Â Z Z Thunder
Long-shot consideration:  5 Matzoh Ball Magic  laid up gelding is training nicely.......strong maiden debut last year and it is totally hidden be a very bad trip....fresh again today
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
5 Myrna Lou  fell off in last......3 previous races fit well......needs a rebound
6 Holiday Maker   nice winning mc debut.........might only need a repeat of the effort to repeat here......likely the one to beat if builds off of the race
4 R Sweet Addiction  beat our top pick quite easily in maiden debut at Tup............away over 4 months but likely ready fresh as he was for his debut
1Â Wackett
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
3 South Texas  solid forward move in 2nd lifetime race which was on the Lrc surface....repeat of the effort here makes him a major factor
6 Chexcess  trainer is 43% win at the meeting and seems to have worked this filly well enough for her to be ready for her MSW debut
7 Caymus Kat  Proctor 1st timer has put in tightly spaced and numerous drills which says ready
5Â Party Rock
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
1 Youonlyliveonce  old timer has been doing exceptionally well at 9 and 10 years of age (30 6 7 10).....and has a good history with today's jock up
3 Bench Press  lead type only has a shot to get what he needs here
4 Late Night Sky  good history stalking the lead and he seems likely to get that position here
2Â Warren's Jeff G.
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
4 Lady Dash  repeat of last fits solidly......and a jockey upgrade for today
9 Honey In Paradise  OK Tup debut.....decent work regiment in preparation for today.....spotted well at the mc30K level
2 Imperial Badger  last is better than appears in print.......still......needs to move forward a couple of lengths to compete for the top prize......Cerin has had a good meeting so far
12Â AEÂ Â Misty Warrior
11Â Due Rae
race 7Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
3 Rosewhitenblue  route fit is often a positive for a 7F race.....hasn't seen conventional dirt in some time but one of her best efforts ever was on the 'real thing"
1 Tim's Go Girl  major forward move in last at Dmr 1st out after the O'Neill claim and the effort is hidden running wide on a good rail day......seems fine on the "dirt"
5 Appealing Resume  proven at Lrc and likes 7F.....trainer is decent 1st out following a claim which is the case today
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
6 Cocabella Myst  both lifetime races fit and one of them was at Lrc
8Â Alissa R NÂ Â last looked like a public work-out.....very strong 4F drill since on the dirt at SA.......drops back to S Cal's bottom level maiden claiming......rebound city
10 Sunday Stroll  on the right end of the learning curve and a strong work since her last.....seems likely to keep the trend intact
4Â Swiss Perfection
Long-shot consideration:   12 Honky Tonk Diva  showed life for the 1st time in 7th lifetime start........fits if gets an OK trip and moves forward a couple of lengths in start number 8.....should be a big price
