Free: Del Mar Horses to Watch for week of Nov. 2

HIGHWAY BOSS
Trainer: Hector Palma
Last race: Oct. 29, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 80
An honest 3-year-old gelding, he could have won a $50,000 claiming race on turf but he clipped heels and nearly fell at the quarter pole. Follow vs. similar, either surface, any distance.

PACIFIC HEAT
Trainer: Peter Eurton
Last race: Oct. 29, 6th
Finish: 1st by 5 1/4
Beyer: 71
She faced stakes foes after a smashing debut and her figure declined, but she actually improved. In traffic, extricated from trouble, romped, galloped out huge. Look for her to stretch out in Grade 1 Starlet at Los Alamitos.

FINEST CITY
Trainer: Ian Kruljac
Last race: Oct. 31, 8th
Finish: 1st by 3 1/4
Beyer: 91
A lightly raced 3-year-old, she crushed an N1X to emerge as a La Brea Stakes candidate early in the Santa Anita winter meet. City Zip sprint filly has much potential.

LIVING THE LIFE
Trainer: Gary Mandella
Last race: Nov. 1, 7th
Finish: 6th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 87
A graded-stakes-winning sprinter trying a turf route, she had a horrible trip. Raced wide or in traffic, in tight backstretch and far turn, uncomfortable, lost ground into lane. Worth a longshot look if she runs back in Grade 1 Matriarch.

TOOMANYTOMATOES
Trainer: Adam Kitchingman
Last race: Nov. 1, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 66
Clumsily handled, steadied early, narrowed gap and was best in $18,000 claiming sprint. This 8-for-41 pro remains in top form. Follow in a similar low-level claiming race.
