Los Alamitos Qh Race 8 - Vandys Flash H. Handicap Stakes
TRAIN B TAKA (4) is a six-time winner who has been racing in great heart, scoring by 0.1 lengths last time out over 366m at this track. Races well here and is likely to run another big race. FAVORITE SEMENTAL (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 366m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. COO JOE (5) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 320m at this track (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is up to the task. STEEL BLUE CARTEL (7) stuck on well last start to finish second over 366m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping.
