HORSES TO WATCH

SANTA ANITA

CITY STEEL

Trainer: Rafael Becerra Last race: Oct. 7, 9th Finish: 3rd by 1 1/4 Beyer: 77 Four wide from start to finish while racing two turns in a $25K claiming route, this veteran deserved a better fate. The 12-time winner can handle similar next out with a better trip.

MISCHIEVIOUS LASS

Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer Last race: Oct. 8, 2nd Finish: 3rd by 3 1/2 Beyer: 55 This debuting 2-year-old filly was void of speed, finished willingly inside, and galloped out big past the wire in a solid debut in a $75K maiden-claiming sprint.

FULL ACCESS

Trainer: Vladimir Cerin Last race: Oct. 9, 1st Finish: 2nd by 1 Beyer: 72 A lightly raced 3-year-old, he pressed the pace three wide in a turf route, fought to the wire, and was claimed for $25K by Cerin from Nestor Capitaine. Likely to continue upward pattern.

TALENT SCOUT

Trainer: Bob Baffert Last race: Oct. 9, 5th Finish: 1st by neck Beyer: 88 Cold in the betting at 8-1, this juvenile colt by first-crop sire New Year’s Day came out firing to score a game win in a highly rated sprint at 6 1/2 furlongs. Big debut, bright future.

COOL BOBBY

Trainer: Peter Eurton Last race: Oct. 9, 5th Finish: 2nd by neck Beyer: 88 Runner-up to Talent Scout, this $575K juvenile by Shanghai Bobby finished clear of third in a big debut. First-time starters from this barn who run this well usually are very good.
