MR FISK

Trainer: Bob Baffert

Last race: Nov. 25, race 8

Finish: Second by three-quarters

Beyer: 83

Juvenile second-time starter by Arrogate vastly improved stretching to a mile. Rail trip midpack, angled outside, finished with run and galloped out big. Racing into shape.

ALICE MARBLE

Trainer: Phil D’Amato

Last race: Nov. 26, race 2

Finish: Third by one and one-quarter lengths

Beyer: 85

Five furlongs too short for comeback turf sprinter. Not quick, rated, angled out, finished with run. Ideal prep for $150,000 Cal-bred turf sprint stake Jan. 7 at Santa Anita.

WEGONAHAVAGOODTIME

Trainer: John Sadler

Last race: Nov. 26, race 3

Finish: Seventh by eight lengths

Beyer: 45

Maiden-claiming sprinter uncomfortable on Del Mar surface, chased and retreated. Claimed by Sadler from Dan Blacker, the horse can improve at Santa Anita or Los Alamitos.

HARLOCAP

Trainer: Bob Baffert

Last race: Nov. 26, race 6

Finish: Second by six and one-half lengths

Beyer: 73

Justify debut juvenile cold in betting at 3.70-1. Hopped at break, ran wide pressing pace, raced greenly on turn, went evenly. Appeared uncomfortable. May have more ability than evident.

LOVESICK BLUES

Trainer: Steve Miyadi

Last race: Nov. 27, race 3

Finish: Eighth by five and three-quarter lengths

Beyer: 73

Consistent Cal-bred shuffled to last in N1X turf sprint, lost ground rallying wide on the turn and into lane, and had too much to do. This race was a total toss. Can rebound on any surface.

NEWGRANGE

Trainer: Phil D’Amato

Last race: Nov. 27, race 8

Finish: Third by five and one-half lengths

Beyer: 87

Front-runner compromised by passive strategy in G3 route. Not asked, intimidated in traffic, ran in spots, re-rallied. Likely to use speed in upcoming graded route at Santa Anita.
