Los Alamitos Qh Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

JESS BEING A FRIEND (8) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten a nose. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. LISTEN NOW (2) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing ninth over 366m at Group 2 level at this track (Dirt) 12 weeks ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. COWBOY BOLT (5) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Among the leading chances. OPTICAL ILLUSION (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 320m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
