Los Alamitos Race 9 - Los Alamitos Derby Stakes

START THE RIDE (3) built on a nice third two starts back at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) with a win as public elect over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. FIONELLO (4) lifted strongly to score by 0.1 lengths two runs back in stakes class at Santa Anita (Dirt) then finished eighth over 1811m in stakes class at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) last time in tougher grade. Likely to figure prominently. SABINO CANYON (2) returned from a break last start with a mediocre fourth over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) after settling well back. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. SOUTHERN MELODEE (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at Santa Anita, beaten 13 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on March 20 over 1609m, 12 len behind Call Me Cory carrying 53.5kg at $6.30. Went for a spell before returning 4th in a small field at Santa Anita on May 22 over 1609m, 6 len behind Decisive Win with 54.5kg at $6.60. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently won by 0.5 len at Santa Anita May 23 over 1609m defeating King's Ride carrying 54.5kg at $2.20. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on May 8 over 1609m, 2 len behind Beeblebrox with 55.5kg at $1.70. No reason he cannot salute again.
