Los Alamitos Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
POTICA (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1106m at Del Mar, beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. THIRSTY CAITLIN (4) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) on September 4. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. ZAYDA AT THE SPA (1) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 14 lengths away in sixth over 1106m at Del Mar. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. TAM'S SWISS MISS (2) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 13 lengths when fifth over 1106m at Del Mar a month ago. Won't find this as tough so she will be hard to beat.
