The third running of the California Tiger Memorial Stakes brings together a group of five fillies and mares.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The event was moved to the distance of 11 furlongs last year and LA FAUAER<\/SPAN>\u00a0holds race record with a win at 2:11<\/st1:time> 2\/5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>CALIFORNIA TIGER is a 12 year old mare that won fourteen of 56 career starts for over one-half million in earnings. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Her record is less impressive as a broodmare, with no three offspring having won one of twenty-six starts.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

The morning line favorite is stepping back to out of the graded stakes room for this event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After capturing the Anne Oakley (GrIII) and rallying to finish third in the Fair Warning (Gr.I), she has encountered some stiff competition in her last three outings.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a late runner that will may be sitting behind a very moderate pace.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This race lacks any one that likes to jump out on the lead, so the four \u201cstalkers\u201d may juggle the early lead among themselves.<\/P>

Vindication x Pulpit<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

The track\u2019s leading jockey selected this mount and that is a positive sign.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is coming off a very impressive 3 \u00bc length win at 10 furlongs (restricted allowance). \u00a0<\/SPAN>The lack of any early speed may force her to assume the front position earlier than preferred.<\/P>

Geri x Loft<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Comes in from a tiring trip LTO.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She likes to run close to the pace, so in the field, she might find herself being the one chased.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ownership is hoping for a performance to her convincing stakes win in the Unbridled S. Memorial Stakes.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Since then, she has shown signs of backing off in the stretch.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

A tough race to call because of the question of who will assume the early lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I suspect that the field (except for <\/SPAN>BERENGUELA<\/SPAN><\/B>) <\/B><\/SPAN>will be tightly bunched down the backstretch of this inner course.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Grim may choose to keep <\/SPAN>BERENGUELA \u00a0<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/B>closer to the leader(s) than in previous races. BERENGUELA\u00a0<\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u00a0appears talented enough to overcome a easy pace, but runners like ABSOLVED<\/STRONG> and GEO FLIRT<\/STRONG> will not give up the chance for the vase without a fight.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/SPAN><\/o:p>
