K P AIM HIGH
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: Oct. 31, 9th
Finish: 5th by 3
Beyer: 63
This 2-year-old, who rallied from behind in his solid debut, inexplicably pressed pace second out and faltered in maiden turf mile. Needs a waiting ride. Worth following next out.

ON EASY STREET
Trainer: Paddy Gallagher
Last race: Nov. 1, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 79
First start in eight months, this older maiden ran well in turf mile. Settled in second flight, angled out, finished well in a race that largely dominated by speed.
KLEEN KARMA
Trainer: Craig Lewis
Last race: Nov. 6, 2nd
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 77
Turf filly was blocked behind a wall of horses into the lane, waited, switched out, put in a big finish, but was too late. This was a sneaky good effort. Follow in Cal-bred allowance turf route.
MOONLIGHT D’ORO
Trainer: Richard Mandella
Last race: Nov. 7, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 70
Off three months, this maiden filly returned much improved. Fifth on rail, waited behind runners into lane, and finished well. Medaglia d’Oro juvenile can win soon, may want longer.

Beyer: 83
Promising debut by this Flatter colt, purchased for $600,000 as a 2-year-old. Raced inside just off pace, took dirt, finished well, galloped out with run. Highly regarded, ran well.

OUR MISS MILLIE
Trainer: Eric Kruljac
Last race: Nov. 8, 6th
Finish: 5th by 10 1/4
Beyer: 38
Debut filly by Clubhouse Ride was only prepping in sprint. Outrun early, came wide, finished with interest. Might need one more prep. Follow when she runs two turns.

Last race: Nov. 8, 8th
Finish: 1st by 1 1/2
Beyer: 92
Grade 3 winner returned from a layoff with sharp allowance win. Races in midpack, rallied wide with smooth stride, kicked away. Will target Grade 1 Malibu Stakes on Dec. 26 at Santa Anita.
