Free: Los Alamitos horses to watch for week of Dec. 6
PYEONG CHANG
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: Dec. 3, race 6
Finish: 1st by 8
Beyer: 80
Switched to dirt and romped vs. $50,000 Cal-bred maidens. Popped gate, sped to lead, got challenged at quarter pole, ran away. Should be competitive in starter allowance.
OUBABE
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Dec. 3, race 7
Finish: 7th by 11 1/2
Beyer: 37
Odds-on favorite vs. Cal-bred maiden 2-year-olds. Stumbled badly and eliminated at the break. In the money both previous, can handle similar after he recovers from this debacle.
LUNATIC
Trainer: Bob Hess Jr.
Last race: Dec. 4, race 5
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 76
Runner-up in claiming sprint, filly actually ran super. Dueled, second-best, 10 lengths clear of third. Claimed by Hess, likely favorite in next nonwinners-of-two claiming sprint.
INESPERADO
Trainer: Jim Cassidy
Last race: Dec. 4, race 7
Finish: 3rd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 66
Trouble-prone gelding squeezed and shuffled at start of maiden-claiming route, lost ground wide into lane, lugged in, lost punch. Can win maiden-claiming route soon.
CHARGE CASH
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: Dec. 5, race 6
Finish: 2nd by head
Beyer: 76
Sprint gelding hard-ridden early between foes, dropped back, re-rallied inside, loomed, second-best. Another sharp effort by improved gelding who fits in N3L claiming sprint.
ROSE DAWSON
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Dec. 5, race 8
Finish: 1st by 4
Beyer: 60
Grazen filly produced by multiple stakes winner Sudden Sunday crushed first out. Settled, looped wide, won with plenty left. Debut win more impressive than figure, up the ladder.
