Los Alamitos Qh Race 8 - Race 8 - Trials

FANCY UPP (3) found a couple marginally better last start over 320m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ELMER ROMERO (7) is a six start maiden who is close to a win despite missing the frame last time over 274m at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. HIDDEN SPEED (2) has been kept fresh since finishing second last start over 320m at this track (Dirt). Right in the mix. ELEMYNTAL (4) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 320m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be peaking. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
