Los Alamitos Race 9 - Los Alamitos Derby Stakes
START THE RIDE (3) Rocketed home when winning last time at Santa Anita and dropping in grade. Very competitive this preparation and form has been improving over recent runs. Deserves favouritism. SOUTHERN MELODEE (1) Didn't find the line when 5th last time at Santa Anita. Should improve and challenged by weaker competitors. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. FUEGO DEL SOL (5) On a short turnaround. Came on strongly to finish 3rd last run around here and racing over extra ground. Challenged by more formidable competitors. One of the hopes. FIONELLO (4) Gave away some ground when 8th last time at Santa Anita but competing in an easier class. Expected to settle towards the rear. Worth some thought.

Started $18.00 and looked outclassed when 5th last time at Santa Anita. Should improve and has been racing in stronger company. Has shown early pace in races to date. One of the value chances in this race.

Was $7.00 and pushed past some when 4th last time at Santa Anita and gets a favourable draw. Jockey Ricardo Gonzalez and trainer Bob Baffert are a formidable team. Not ready for this level.

Finished hard to win last time at Santa Anita and back in an easier grade. Very competitive this campaign and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Highly respected.

Odds of $53.00 and weakened under pressure when 8th last time at Santa Anita but goes down in class. Gets back and needs luck. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

On a quick turnaround. Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by over 11L last run here and facing a rise in trip. Up against stronger opponents. Represents value in this race.
