Free: Del Mar Horses to Watch for the week of July 27

MARCHMAN

Trainer: Keith Desormeaux
Last race: July 22, 3rd
Finish: Second by 1/2
Beyer: 92
Making his first start since November, this Grade 3-winning turf sprinter finished strongly from the back of the field in a promising comeback. He is BC Turf Sprint material.

ROY H

Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: July 23, 5th
Finish: Second by 1/2
Beyer: 85
This 3-year-old turf sprinter was tons best. A maiden winner setting the pace, he was squeezed, steadied and away last in an N1X. He finished well, and looks odds-on next out vs. similar.

ADMIRAL JAXON

Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: July 26, 3rd
Finish: 5th by 10 3/4
Beyer: 57
This well-bet gelding was declared a non-starter in this maiden-40 route when the gates opened prematurely. He broke last by many, but split the field. He is much improved.

RIDEO

Trainer: Richard Mandella
Last race: July 26, 5th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 56
A 2-year-old first-time starter racing a mile on turf, this Candy Ride colt finished a respectable fourth in a race that should move him up a ton next time out.

TREASURING

Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: July 26, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 7 3/4
Beyer: 64
This Smart Strike 2-year-old ran well in a solid debut. She steadied into the turn, finished evenly, and is crying for a route. Her pedigree is outstanding as a sibling to a Grade 1 winner.

THERMODYNAMICS

Trainer: Dan Hendricks
Last race: July 26, 10th
Finish: 4th by 2 1/4
Beyer: 76
This filly ran super in a Cal-bred N1X turf route. She steadied on the far turn, finished with run, and galloped out strongly. The race flow was against her. Upset next time?
