On Trust closes out Hollywood meet

The Hollywood Park fall meet concludes Sunday with the $75,000

On Trust H.,

where CAYAMBE (Helmsman) drew post 1 against six rivals in the 7 1/2-furlong

Cushion Track contest for California-bred or sired older horses.

More successful this season on dirt and turf, Cayambe does own four

all-weather victories from 18 appearances, and enters off a solid fourth-place

effort in the California Cup Classic. Two races back the veteran six-year-old

led gate to-wire in taking the Ralph Hinds Pomona H. at Fairplex by a neck at

odds of 25-1. A six-furlong winner over the local turf earlier this year,

Cayambe seems capable of negotiating the cutback in distance with no apparent

problem.

Most of the main players in the On Trust have been competing in recent

allowance/optional claimers. AMAZOMBIE (Northern Afleet) is a four-time winner

this season, albeit all on turf. EARNEDNEVERGIVEN (Cee's Tizzy) has run first or

second in his last four starts, while MOBILIZED (Soul of the Matter) and THE BAT

SIGNAL (Gotham City) also merit respect based on their recent form.

AUTISM AWARENESS (Tannersmyman), who has upset a pair of Grade 3 events

during the course of his career, possesses the most back class but has placed

only twice in nine starts since taking the Berkeley S. (G3) in May 2009. The

consistent check-getter A LIL DUMAANI (Dumaani) has been relatively win-shy over

the past two seasons, compiling a mark of 18-3-8-4.
