Los Alamitos Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
BABY NEEDS SHOES (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line all the way. Settles close to the speed. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BLAME IT ON ABBY (3) returned last time with a solid third at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1207m after being in the firing line on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. TURKEY BIRD (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Santa Anita, beaten 17 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAPE JUICE TOO (8) finished 17 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt) on May 30 after she was well back on straightening. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Santa Anita on May 30 over 1207m, 13 len behind Miss Hellfire with 55kg at $3.10. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Santa Anita Turf on May 9 over 1207m, 4 len behind Midnight Cowgirl carrying 55kg at $5.20. Best form should see her measure right up.

Mare back from a spell of two years. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at Santa Anita Turf May 3 2024 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Really Thirsty with 53.5kg at $3.40. First up last campaign third of 12 at Santa Anita Turf April 6 2024 over 1207m, 1.0 len behind Moment's Pleasure with 55.5kg at $14.30. Certainly one to consider.
