Los Alamitos Qh Race 3

Maiden

Stake: $28,994

PROBLEM SOLVER (3) Closed off nicely when 4th last time at Santa Anita but dropping in distance. Should be swooping on the field late. Can win. HARLAN TROOPER (6) 4yo debutant by Beltany for trainer Jose G Hernandez Jr. Market as guide. SPADAR (2) 3yo first starter by Graydar for Felix L Gonzalez and gets a favourable alley. Respect the betting. SEATTLE SURF (5) Racing fresh today after a break. Didn't attack the line when 8th last start at Santa Anita. Looking for an improved run but back to a shorter trip. Solid place bet prospects.
