Claiming

Stake: -

AMADOR (7) Faded at the finish when 2nd beaten by 5L last run at Los Alamitos Th but up in grade. Will be positive in the run early. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. TWILIGHT TIME (3) Back from a 52 week break. Rocketed home when winning last start around here and showing improvement in recent outings. Can go through the gears. Down in distance. Better hope. HANKERING (8) Didn't threaten when 5th last time at Los Alamitos Th. Can make a comeback and stepping down to a lower level. Displays good tactical speed. Showing consistent performance in races. Has the ability to take this out. HIGHLAND ECHO (2) Advanced late into 4th last time at Los Alamitos and drawn nicely. Should muster plenty of early speed. Returns to a longer distance. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Among better hopes.

Started at $6.00 and edged past some when finishing 4th last time at Los Alamitos and returning to an increased distance. Likely to be well placed early. Looks good for a place at least.

First run back from a break of 52 weeks. Flew home to win last start here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should get going late. Great chance.

Struggled with the pace when 7th last start at the track but competing in a lower grade. Jockey Armando Aguilar and trainer Jose R Valdez make an imposing pair. Suggest watching.

Odds of $16.00 and didn't attack the line when 5th last time at Los Alamitos Th. Can make a comeback and taking on a lower class of opponents. Definite claims.
