Los Alamitos Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

COME OUT FIGHTING (4) finished fourth over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Rates highly and expected to go well. DES DOIGTS (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Del Mar (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Tiago Josue Pereira scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable assignment and can salute again. TAPALO (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1106m at Del Mar after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Will enjoy a drop in class so it is likely to play a big role. DIRTY WORDS (5) travelled in a rearwards position and failed to live up to expectations over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role.

Recent form sound. Most recently came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Del Mar on August 20 over 1106m defeating Tapalo with 54.5kg at $2.70. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Del Mar on August 2 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Gypsy Tears carrying 54.5kg at $4.30. No reason he cannot salute again.

Returns from a 41-day let-up. At the latest run got back early 7th of 9 at Del Mar on August 2 over 1106m, 8 len behind Gypsy Tears with 54.5kg at $4. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 26 over 1308m, 2.25 len behind Zombo Bombo carrying 57kg at $1.70. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
