Los Alamitos Qh Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

BENEFICIAL (1) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 12 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1207m at Del Mar after being in contention on the bend. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will be hard to beat. HIGHLAND ECHO (2) missed the frame first-up but looks ready to win now after two straight placings, the latest over 914m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. MR AKIN (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he cannot be discounted. MESA VERDE (3) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting it filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 914m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 36 day let-up. Last start got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on August 8 over 914m, 6 len behind Infinite Spirit with 57kg at $10.30. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Los Alamitos on July 5 over 1106m, 0.5 len behind Do It For Dave carrying 57kg at $24.90. Small field to contend with a looks a key chance.
