Saw most of the show today, missing the first 15 minutes. From what I saw, if you like these horses already, you like 'em more after seeing them work:

Gorella, Bel Air Beauty ,Bordonaro, Principle Secret, Silent Name, Film Maker

On the other hand, if you like these, you might consider tightening the rubber band around your bankroll:

Skip Code, Better Talk Now, Siren Lure, Gatorize, Sutra

I think I'm leaving out a couple, but these I remember.

Agreed Gooch. I'll type up what I remember off memory.

Silent Name - Awesome. Broke off a few lengths behind his workmate. Caught up to him under no urging and passed him willingly. Halfway through the stretch his exercise rider gave him his head a bit and Silent Name responded with a strong kick. Very excited about him. Mini Mandella has him ready to rock.

Film Maker - Broke off with Better Talk Now a length clear on her inside. Caught him under no urging at all coming down to the wire. Better Talk Now was being asked by his rider through the stretch just to keep up. Positive for Film Maker. Negative for Better Talk Now.

Principle Secret - Beautiful horse. Was concentrating more on my omelette than his work, but it was good. Both the omelette and the work for those that are wondering. He's coming into the Juvenile in top condition.

C P West - Zito wanted a lot out of this work. Broke off and wasn't asked for much early on in the work. Continued moving nicely around the turn and then Rafael Bejarano began to pick it up and ask him halfway down the stretch. Continued on with him through the clubhouse turn riding him out strongly. He looked good.

Sun King - Looked good. Worked in company and wasn't asked for much in the early going. Allowed to gallop up to his workmate through the stretch and once he reached his workmate, Bejarano let him loose. Went past him strongly and looked good.

Cash Included - Looked awesome yesterday. Eased into her work and was asked for some acceleration by Corey Nakatani on the turn. She responded with a quick burst and looked strong through the stretch.

Gorella and Mauralakana - I'm grouping them together because they seemed to work identical to one another. Both broke off in back of a workmate and was kept covered up directly behind them. Both were angled out late and went by with ease. Gorella did look as if she began to let up on herself once she went by. Other than that, both looked good.

Bordonaro - Looked good. Effortless work and wasn't asked for much.

Siren Lure - Bad work. Never looked comfortable one bit and worked much slower than normal.

Gatorize - She just kicked off any tickets I play. Another one that never looked comfortable in her work while being asked a bit.

Skip Code - Changed leads about six times in the stretch. Didn't look good at all.

Cacique - Strange work. Was being asked a bit in the beginning of his work and was running well. Took the turn fine, but tired a bit midway to the wire. You would think going a 1 1/2 that the work would be reversed. Slow early and then pick it up late. Left me a bit confused, but I'm not going to question Bobby Frankel.

Back to the Giants game...
