California-bred Cyclometer appears to be the horse to overtake in Saturday’s Grade I, $300,000 Triple Bend Stakes for 3-year-olds and up at seven furlongs.

“He came out of his win the Los Angeles Stakes (May 26) really well,” trainer and part owner/breeder Bruce Headley said of the 6-year-old Cyclotron horse.

“He worked (six furlongs) in 1:11 1/5 and he’s eaten every oat. He’s at the top of his game.”

The field for the Triple Bend: Declassify, Martin Garcia, 5-2; Drill, Mike Smith, 8-1; Gladding, Fernando Perez, 15-1; Sahara Sky, Joe Talamo, 8-5; Indexical, Mario Gutierrez, 15-1; Cyclometer, Edwin Maldonado, 5-2; and Wine Police, Victor Espinoza, 9-2.
