Free: Santa Anita and Pleasanton horses to watch for week of July 4

RINSE AND REPEAT
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: July 3, 9th (Pleasanton)
Finish: 3rd by 3
Beyer: 56
A maiden in a $100,000 Cal-bred stakes, this Square Eddie 2-year-old second-time starter should have won. Off slowly from rail, shuffled and lost position into turn, re-rallied. Next start likely at Del Mar vs. Cal-bred maidens or in a stakes.

MINTINEZED
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: July 1, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 6 3/4
Beyer: 66
A first-time start at two turns, this Cal-bred made a big move into contention coming off the turn, and then went evenly in a promising debut. Two-turn maidens from this stable typically improve with racing.

PIONEEROF THE WEST
Trainer: Vladimir Cerin
Last race: July 2, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 5 1/2
Beyer: 87
Off slowly, raced wide, rallied from last, and finished second to front-running winner. This effort was better than it looks on paper. His next start is likely to be on the Del Mar dirt, where closers actually have a chance.

DREFONG
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: July 4, 4th
Finish: 1st by 5 1/4
Beyer: 103
This romping allowance winner ran fast and won with something left. Dueled on hot pace (21.30 and 43.80), opened up, and was ridden out. Super win; stakes next.

LITTLE DUME
Trainer: Neil Drysdale
Last race: July 4, 5th
Finish: 6th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 74
This maiden filly is racing into shape. Pressed a strong pace inside, took back and raced inside, stayed in contention into lane, tired late. She is a Malibu Moon filly produced by Grade 1 sprint winner Intangaroo, but might want two turns.
