Los Alamitos Qh Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

HARDTOXPLAIN (2) finished just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last start over 274m at this track (Dirt) after racing in the leading division. Martin Arriaga gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ECHICERA (5) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 274m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Has the talent to take this out. MUSCLE MAX (4) recorded a minor placing two starts ago at Wyoming Downs (Dirt) then couldn't handle better opposition last time when eighth over 366m at Wyoming Downs (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Can play a big role in the finish. BEAR DOWN (7) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 320m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by a nose. Justine Klaiber was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on September 5 over 274m, 1.5 len behind Mastros with 57kg at $12.30.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 56-day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on July 26 over 274m, 1.0 len behind Ap Scorpion Boy carrying 57kg at $6.50. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track on May 30 over 320m, 0.3 len behind Special Batch with 57kg at $7.10. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
