Los Alamitos Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
MR MACHUPICCHU (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was prominent at the corner before being beaten 3 lengths into eighth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf. Welfin R Orantes gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Ideally placed and is sure to make amends. HURRICANE WAY (6) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fifth beaten 2 lengths over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to hold out. HANKERING (3) went forward last start over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TYGRA (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh over 1006m at Del Mar Turf. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.

The start before that 6th of 8 at Santa Anita Turf on June 6 over 1609m, 7 len behind Prince Dolce with 56kg at $25.10. Has shown enough ability in the past to take this out.

At the latest run ran second last of 12 at Del Mar on August 29 over 1207m, 16 len behind Stanford Dropout carrying 56kg at $3.20. Before that ran last in a small field at Del Mar on August 7 over 1207m, 6 len behind Unpretentious with 56kg at $6.20. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 12 at Del Mar on August 29 over 1207m, 4 len behind Stanford Dropout with 55kg at $4.80. The race before that gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 11 at Del Mar on July 19 over 1308m, 0.4 len behind Next Trick carrying 54.5kg at $6.90. Can improve again. Top chance.

Second-up. First-up after seven months sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 10 at Del Mar Turf on September 6 over 1006m, 3 len behind Prime Artist with 55.5kg at $15.80. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Santa Anita on May 31 2024 over 905m, 5 len behind R Heisman with 53.5kg at $23.90. Sure to run well.

Third race start today. At debut, 7th of 11 at Del Mar on August 29 over 1207m, 9 len behind Proof He Goes with 55kg at $15.60. Second-up ran on from midfield and won by 2.75 len at this track on September 12 over 1207m defeating Quality Gold with 54.5kg at $2.10. Win doesn't look likely.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign fourth in a small field at Santa Anita June 7 over 1106m, 6 len behind Courtside Action carrying 54.5kg at $39.20. When resuming last campaign fifth of 9 at Santa Anita Turf April 19 over 1308m, 5.5 len behind He's A Knockout with 54.5kg at $19.20. This looks a stern test.
