Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of Aug. 8

SCHILLAIRESS
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: Aug. 3, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 4
Beyer: 77
This N1X sprinter had a tough trip in this turf sprint, was bottled up behind runners inside, steadied at the quarter pole and into the lane. Might prefer a surface other than turf; follow in an N1X dirt sprint.

MILTON FREEWATER
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: Aug. 3, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 66
First start since being sidelined with sore shins, this 2-year-old finished well in a California-bred stakes won by a stablemate. He galloped out strongly past the wire in a good prep-race comeback.

BEAUMARCHAIS
Trainer: Vladimir Cerin
Last race: Aug. 5, 3rd
Finish: 7th by 7
Beyer: 67
This class-drop claiming 3-year-old pressed the pace and faded but was claimed by Cerin from Simon Callaghan and is likely to improve when returned to the main track.

LADY PAMELA
Trainer: Cliff Sise
Last race: Aug. 6, 6th
Finish: 5th by 5 3/4
Beyer: 62
Well-bred debuting filly was cold in the betting (5.70-1), was shuffled back inside, switched out, okay late run, galloped out well. Tapit filly out of Breeders’ Cup winner Life Is Sweet wants to route.

ALASKAN SON
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Aug. 6, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 1
Beyer: 87
Last-start maiden winner ran into a roadblock in the stretch of this N1X turf route, won by the pacesetter. Got stopped, switched outside, finished fast, likely best.

CHAO CHOM
Trainer: Gary Stute
Last race: Aug. 7, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 69
The rail post in a sprint was too much; she was unable to establish position but finished well once clear in the lane. A sibling to stakes winner Soi Phet, she is ready to stretch out.
