LOS ALAMITOS

- – Brad Free

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/optionalcl­aiming 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 the 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.
