Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of July 25

SHARP HOLIDAY
Trainer: Brian Koriner
Last race: July 20, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 52
This low-level claiming filly broke from the outside and raced six wide throughout. She lost more ground than the margin of defeat and fits in a similar claiming sprint for 3-year-old fillies.

EXHALE
Trainer: Peter Eurton
Last race: July 23, 1st
Finish: 5th by 15 1/2
Beyer: 58
A blatant speed bias compromised this older maiden, who went one-paced as the favorite. The trainer rarely wins first out; Scat Daddy colt worked better than he ran and can improve.

ITSINTHEPOST
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: July 23, 5th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 91
Much improved for a new trainer, this closer was blocked on the rail from the five-sixteenths pole to inside the eighth pole before finding room. Likely chalk next time in an N2X turf route.

WHISTLE PRETTY
Trainer: Bob Hess Jr.
Last race: July 23, 10th
Finish: 3rd by 6
Beyer: 63
This well-bred filly ran well in her career debut going long on turf. Encountered minor trouble in the lane, raced greenly, but ran well. Expect a major move-up second time out.

HAUTE STYLE
Trainer: Craig Lewis
Last race: July 23, 10th
Finish: 6th by 7 1/2
Beyer: 60
A California-bred facing open company in this maiden turf route, she got sawed off and steadied nearing the quarter pole, lost momentum, rerallied, and ran much better than the line might look.
