Brad Free's Santa Anita horses to watch from week of June 19-21, 2020

TOUCHDOWN BROWN
Trainer: Rafael Becerra
Last race: June 19, 4th
Finish: 1st by 5 1/4
Beyer: 59
Impressive debut by juvenile colt. Settled midfield, three-wide rally, switched leads, drew off, and strong late. Graduation Stakes for California-bred 2-year-olds on Aug. 2 at Del Mar is logical.

ROCKIE CAUSEWAY
Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: June 19, 9th
Finish: 4th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 62
Debut 3-year-old filly ran well in turf mile. Keen early, wrangled to third, shuffled back far turn, re-rallied inside, and solid finish. Promising debut by Giant’s Causeway California-bred.

RED LARK
Trainer: Paddy Gallagher
Last race; June 20, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 85
Facing older, 3-year-old ran well in Grade 3 turf mile won by Toinette. Rated, trailed, rallied wide, finished well, threat versus age group in Grade 2 San Clemente on July 25 Del Mar.

OFFICIOUS
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: June 20, 4th
Finish: 4th by 1 3/4
Beyer: 66
Promising comeback by maiden filly. Pressed fast pace, ridden along, led late, and swallowed late by closers. Would be tough shortening to five-furlong maiden turf sprint at Del Mar.

PROVOCATION
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: June 21, 11th
Finish: 1st by 1 3/4
Beyer: 77
A debut 3-year-old filly by Into Mischief, produced by Grade 1 winner, popped gate, easy pace without pressure, coasted to wire, and never asked. She might be a good one.
