Free: Los Alamitos horses to watch for week of Sept. 3, 2018

AIR STRIKE
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Aug. 30, 4th
Finish: 1st by 6 1/4
Beyer: 87
A 3-year-old maiden making his California debut around two turns after a private purchase by Slam Dunk Racing, this lightly raced Street Sense colt romped. N1X next.

OPERANDI
Trainer: Andrew Lerner
Last race: Aug. 31, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 1
Beyer: 78
She ran super in a Cal-bred N1X/optional-claiming turf sprint. Pressed a hot pace (21.32 and 44.46) and held second. She was claimed by Lerner from Doug O’Neill. She has won on the Santa Anita hill.

LADY PRANCEALOT
Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: Sept. 3, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 72
This European import ran huge in a turf stakes for 2-year-old fillies. Trailed the field in a slow-paced race, and smoked the final quarter in approximately 23 seconds – a big effort against the race shape.

RAYANA
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Sept. 3, 8th
Finish: 1st by 1
Beyer: 74
A 2-year-old first-timer racing a mile on turf, this Scat Daddy filly ran faster at every call than stakes winner Summering earlier. Those two, along with Lady Prancealot, could meet Oct. 8 in Surfer Girl at Santa Anita.

VIOLENT RIDGE
Trainer: Hector Palma
Last race: Sept. 3, 7th
Finish: 4th by 6 1/2
Beyer: 71
Longshot in a first-level dirt allowance, this gelding dueled four wide on a fast pace, shook off pace rivals, and was swallowed late by closers. Big effort by honest Cal-bred 3-year-old.

ROWAYTON
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Last race: Sept. 3, 9th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 90
Second-start 2-year-old opened up on a blazing 45.35 half-mile in the Del Mar Futurity and fought back late. He ran as well as the winner. Distance ability uncertain, but he sure is fast.
