HORSES TO WATCH

LOOKOUT POINT

Trainer: Peter Miller Last race: June 18, 1st Finish: 2nd by 2 3/4

Beyer: 48

Solid debut by 2-year-old in maiden turf mile. Saved ground midpack, inched closer far turn, waited briefly, angled out, finished well. Will be tough in maiden route at Del Mar.

MADAME BARBARIAN

Trainer: Jeff Mullins Last race: June 18, 5th Finish: 3rd by 3/4

Beyer: 80

This 13-win mare scratched from low-level race to face tougher in claiming turf sprint. Lagged and finished well while outclassed. Tab on the drop. Ran well last year at Del Mar.

QUEEN OF POMPEII

Trainer: Carla Gaines Last race: June 19, 1st Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4

Beyer: 58

Tough trip for second-start maiden in turf sprint. Shuffled early, steadied backstretch, held up through turn, finished well, galloped out super. Sitting on California-bred maiden win.

LIAM’S LOVE

Trainer: John Shirreffs Last race: June 19, 5th Finish: 7th by 7

Beyer: 64

KA’NAH

Trainer: Ryan Hanson Last race: June 19, 8th Finish: 6th by 16 1/2

Beyer: 64

Well-backed entry-level allowance sprinter had no shot. Shuffled early, lost position, wide throughout in race won by inside speed. Older gelding better than form appears.

NEPTUNE’S STORM

Trainer: Peter Miller Last race: June 20, 7th Finish: 2nd by 1/2

Beyer: 93

Fine comeback in Grade 3 turf mile. Pressed pace, led late, and collared in first start in nine months. Poised for big summer at Del Mar. Eligible to the restricted Wickerr Stakes on July 18.

SEA DREAMER

Trainer: Simon Callaghan Last race: June 20, 10th Finish: 2nd by 1

Beyer: 89

Debut filly by Into Mischief ran a winning race. Pressed two wide, kept to task, and was second best while finishing eight-plus lengths clear. Likely low-odds maiden winner next out.
