Los Alamitos Qh Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

NOSTRANGRTOTHERAIN (6) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths starting at $7.40. Has the ability to take care of this field. SMILING JOJO (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 905m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SPLASHED IN GOLD (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fifth over 503m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after working home well. Won't find this as tough so he will prove hard to beat. AUTISM PUZZLE (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 914m at this track (Dirt). Has the talent to return to the winners' list.
