Los Alamitos Qh Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

CATHAL (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1811m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has the talent to find the winners' list. BALADI (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 914m at this track a week ago. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BLACK MAGICIAN (6) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) after he was in contention on the corner. Has further improvement to come and is expected to do much better. AUTISM PUZZLE (4) returns from a spell of ten weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 905m at this track (Dirt). Sound prospects. Something for the Multiples: PERFECTO AMOR (5)
