Los Alamitos Qh Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden
TODDMICHAEL (3) 3yo by Halladay first starter for Sheldon W Paldanius. Edgar Payeras adds value. Betting is the best guide. SIERRA SILVER HEEL (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Putting up notable efforts this campaign and getting better in recent performances. Winning chance in this line up. SMOKEM MASTER (2) Nice run when 2nd last run here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Could go well at this level. EFFORT (1) Lost ground in the run home when 4th last time at this track but drawn the rails. Expecting to settle positively. Market may be ultimate guide.

Started at $4.33 and struggled with the pace when 4th last time at this venue but has minimal work to do from the draw. Should race on the speed. Watching with interest.

Improved late to finish 4th last run at Santa Anita but coming back in distance. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Producing consistent results since returning from a spell. Strong chance.

At $19.00 faded away to finish 7th last start at this venue. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Started at $83.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last start at the track. Does take a while to get into stride. Others preferred.
