Brad Free's Del Mar horses to watch for week of Aug. 19, 2019

Brad Free|Aug 20, 2019

AN OCALA TEN
Trainer: Rosemary Trela
Last race: Aug. 14, 7th
Finish: 1st by 2 3/4
Beyer: 80
Low-level claiming sprinter set pace inside, took heat, widened, sharp win. Claimed by Trela from Peter Miller, front-runner can fire right back, possibly at Los Alamitos.

MISS TOKYO
Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: Aug. 15, 4th
Finish: 5th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 66
Cold on board (7-2 program, off at 6-1), first-time starter was off step slowly in turf sprint, recovered to chase from third, evenly. Ran as if she needed a start, follow next time out.

SHEAR CLASS
Trainer: John Shirreffs
Last race: Aug. 16, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 84
Debut filly by Curlin was devoid of speed in maiden dirt sprint, raced far back, leveled off in lane, and finished strongly. Solid debut, promising 3-year-old filly eventually will want two turns.

HONOR A. P.
Trainer: John Shirreffs
Last race: Aug. 17, 6th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 77
This 2-year-old colt is a good one. Lacked speed in maiden sprint, not asked, picked up steam through turn and into lane, big finish. Well-bred, top prospect, bred to run long.

CONTE CAVOUR
Trainer: Javier Sierra
Last race: Aug. 18, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 5
Beyer: 51
Longshot second-time starter in sprint for older Cal-bred maidens steadied at the start, trailed by a long way, finished willingly in sneaky-good effort. Needs a clean takeoff.

BODHICITTA
Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: Aug. 18, 9th
Finish: 4th by 1/2
Beyer: 72
Maiden turf filly is due for some luck. Had tough trip in U.S. debut July 28, then left with too much to do second out, rallied late, sub-23 final quarter, huge finish. Next time.
