Free Los Alamitos Quarter Horse Picks & Predictions

Elegant Sway earns a 64.01 TrackWiz rating and brings a respectable 18% career win rate to the gate — one of the better win percentages in this field. Trainer Angela Maria Aquino puts up Justine Klaiber, and with an average speed figure of 56, this filly has the raw ability to run down whoever is in front of her in the late stages of a short sprint. At 4/1 on the morning line, she represents solid place value.

Miss Joannie sits second on our ratings leaderboard at 54.40, which is notable given she's trained by the same Jorge Farias barn that also sends out the morning line second choice. Farias running two horses here could mean barn confidence across multiple slots, and Miss Joannie at 5/1 makes for a smart inclusion in exacta and trifecta coverage. The stable connection is an angle worth respecting.

Comanche Gal is the morning line favorite at 9/5 and rates second on our board at 77.92, which makes her a legitimate contender — just not quite our top pick. The Edgar Payeras/Vann Belvoir combo is a solid pairing, and a 55 average speed figure keeps her right in the mix pace-wise. She's the safe place play in a race where Omemgee could be the live overlay at the win.

Candy Run catches the eye with a 33% career win rate — best in this field by a significant margin — and trainer James W. Glenn, Jr. has her going off at 2/1 with Cesar Ortega up. A 54 average speed figure puts her slightly off the pace leaders, but that win percentage signals this filly knows how to finish. She's a natural fit for trifecta bottom in what figures to be a pace-heavy short sprint.

Ximenarey rates closely behind at 83.36 and comes in at 3/1 morning line — making her a natural place play underneath Dice Game. Trainer Jaime H. Gomez sends her out with Jesus Rios Ayala, and while the 14% career win rate is modest, the rating says she's capable of running second or better in this field. In a race this short, a clean break is often the whole ballgame, and she has the profile to capitalize.

Behind the Bar rates third on our board at 80.44 and offers some show value at 5/1 on the morning line. Trainer Michael V. Casselman has a knack for placing horses well in allowance company, and a 25% career win rate puts Behind the Bar in elite company among this group. She's the kind of horse who rounds out exotic tickets and gives you a legitimate shot at a healthy trifecta payout.
