TROUVILLE
Trainer: Leonard Powell
Last race: May 28, race 3
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 70
Late-running turf sprint filly compromised when she checked sharply along rail on turn, lost momentum, re-rallied, lost punch. Promises more than she delivers, but due for luck.
LAW ABIDIN CITIZEN
Trainer: Mark Glatt
Last race: May 29, race 5
Finish: 4th by 2 1/2
Beyer: 91
Gelding off nine months, returned sans Lasix in Grade 3 turf sprint, pressed pace, battled to furlong pole, tired. He typically races into condition. Poised for big summer.
SAULS CALL
Trainer: Steve Miyadi
Last race: May 30, race 2
Finish: 4th by 6 1/2
Beyer: 47
Debut 2-year-old veered out start, uncorked middle move into turn, fanned four wide into stretch, lost his punch in promising career debut. Should move up a ton second time out.
FOOTHILL
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: May 30, race 9
Finish: 3rd by 3
Beyer: 78
Tough trip cost him in Cal-bred allowance turf mile. Saved ground, was blocked and shuffled near quarter pole, angled out, blocked again furlong pole, went evenly. Much better than looks.
EXPRESS TRAIN
Trainer: John Shirreffs
Last race: May 31, race 8
Finish: 3rd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 99
Impossible trip in Hollywood Gold Cup. Not quick, four wide first turn, wide again into lane, grinding finish. He could have given one-two finishers a race with a better trip.
