Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of July 5
TENGS RHYTHM
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: June 30, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 7 1/2
Beyer: 51
This was a good first start by this California-bred juvenile filly. Ridden to keep up, chased three wide, evenly, galloped out in front. Probably wants farther than five furlongs, solid debut.
STREAK OF LUCK
Trainer: Matt Chew
Last race: June 30, 5th
Finish: 5th by 12 3/4
Beyer: 37
California-bred juvenile filly was well backed based on sharp works, shut off at the start, made a middle move, then lost her punch. Better-than-it-looked debut, has more ability than shown.
KAZAN
Trainer: Simon Callaghan
Last race: July 1, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 3
Beyer: 40
This well-backed 2-year-old first-time starter broke slowly in a one-mile turf race, raced wide, wider yet into the lane, evenly late. Likely to improve a ton now that he has a race under his belt.
PAVEL
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: July 1, 6th
Finish: 1st by 4 1/2
Beyer: 97
A 3-year-old colt by Creative Cause, sibling to multiple stakes winner Caracortado, his debut was impressive. Took pressure inside, confidently handled, came away. Big future.
LITTLE JUANITO
Trainer: Victor Garcia
Last race: July 1, 6th
Finish: 2nd by 4 1/2
Beyer: 88
First start of the year, this wide-trip maiden ran well while no match for Pavel. Held on for second, earned a good number, should be tough in a maiden special weight sprint at Del Mar.
CIMPL MAN
Trainer: Gary Mandella
Last race: July 2, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 3 1/4
Beyer: 89
This N2X turf gelding ran well despite his trip. Farther behind than usual, steadied, lost position on the first turn, rallied wide into the lane, finished with run. Follow at Del Mar vs. similar.
