Finish: Third by 6 3/4

Void of speed in stakes for 2-year-old Cal-bred fillies, trailed, rallied inside, weaved through traffic, finished well and galloped out in front of the field. The longer, the better.

Solid debut by 4-year-old first-time starter in turf sprint. Hopped at start, away last, trailed field, extended rally through turn and into lane, lost punch late. Excellent debut.

BRISTOL BAYOU
Trainer: John Shirreffs
Last race: Aug. 3, race 1
Finish: Third by 3 1/4

This debut 2-year-old filly is worth following. Off slow and steadied, trailed, made a little run late, split the field. Low-rated race, but this Carpe Diem filly showed ability.
TIJORI
Trainer: Simon Callaghan
Last race: Aug. 3, race 9
Finish: Third by 4 1/2
Beyer: 71
First start in more than one year, this 3-year-old filly ran well in allowance sprint. Dueled through strong pace, held best of the speed, will be fitter second start back.

This 2-year-old was not quick, took dirt, raced inside and behind horses, angled out, loomed, second best to Eight Rings while more than nine clear of third. Super debut.
