Free's horses to watch at Del Mar

ULTRA SHARP
Trainer: Craig Dollase
Last race: July 19, 1st
Finish: 5th by 4
Beyer: 60
A 2-year-old first-timer, this Sharp Humor colt was expected to show speed. He did not and merely went evenly in what looked like a prep race. He is worth a second chance.

GIANT EGO
Trainer: Craig Lewis
Last race: July 19, 8th
Finish: 8th by 9 1/4
Beyer: 66
A fast pace at a class level (N2X/optional $62,500) out of reach gives this sprinter an alibi. He was claimed four starts back for $40,000 and can return to form dropping in class with an outside draw.

GHOST N YOUR HEART
Trainer: Armando Lage
Last race: July 20, 3rd
Finish: 4th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 68
A premature, wide move by jockey Fernando Perez compromised this veteran. She challenged into the lane and then flattened out. Claimed for $12,500 by Lage from Gary Stute, she might be headed to Northern California. Follow on either circuit.

CONQUEST ARCHANGEL
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: July 20, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 79
A promising 2-year-old maiden, this daughter of Blame had the misfortune of hooking a potential monster in Luminance. Conquest Archangel ran fast enough to win most maiden races and appears to be sitting on a win next out at a short price.

SWEET PROFIT
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: July 20, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 78
Curious strategy was employed on this filly. She won her debut on the lead but failed to show speed in her allowance-race comeback and therefore relinquished her tactical edge. Now that she has had a prep race, she might improve with more aggressive handling.
