SHOW IT N MOE IT
Trainer: Gary Sherlock
Last race: May 4, race 2
Finish: Third by 8 1/2 lengths
Beyer: 50
Juvenile filly was merely prepping in 4 1/2-furlong dash. No speed, not urged, dropped out, finished with run, galloped out well. Fits with Cal-bred maiden fillies.
JUANSAGAIN
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: May 5, race 4
Finish: First by 1 1/2 lengths
Beyer: 83
Lightly raced 6-year-old cruised in $10k claiming sprint, without being asked. Claimed by Miller from Richard Baltas, can be long gone again in similar low-level claiming race.
BOOKIES LUCK
Trainer: Jeff Bonde
Last race: May 6, race 1
Finish: Third by five lengths
Beyer: 53
Even-money first out, juvenile broke slowly, not quick, raced greenly in lane, evenly late. Bred to win early, expect improvement next out vs. similar Cal-bred maiden 2-year-olds.
PLACIDO
Trainer: Simon Callaghan
Last race: May 6, race 9
Finish: Third by 3 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 73
This 3-year-old first-timer worked well, but was chilly in wagering, raced wide, and finished one-paced. With this prep race out of the way, he should move up a ton second time out.
CALIFORNIA BREEZE
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: May 7, race 4
Finish: Sixth by 3 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 67
A first-timer with good works, this 3-year-old filly broke slowly, was not asked for speed, raced evenly inside, finished on her own and galloped out with run in a promising debut.
EDWARDS GOING LEFT
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: May 7, race 7
Finish: First by 5 1/4 lengths
Beyer: 84
Wet track might have moved him up (sire Midnight Lute, and dam, both won in slop), but he crushed starter allowance in fast time (1:21.40) and can fire right back in N1X sprint.
