MANIATIC (4) was far from disgraced when third last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1m at Los Alamitos, beaten 2. 5 lengths. That followed a win at Del Mar the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ELEGANT BOY (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when ninth, beaten 13 lengths, over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. CRYPTO RIDE (3) finished seventh two runs back at Los Alamitos (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0. 8 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1m at Del Mar (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. RESEMBLANCE (7) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with a nose to spare over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Good record at this journey with three wins and five minor placings from nine starts and should be in the finish.
