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.
