Will use him equally with Buckland Manor who may love the Cushion and a small backup on Gotaghostofachance who if he's right is the equal to the others and is training up a storm, however given the trainer's record off the long layoff i expect this to be a conditioning run only.

R4: #3 Ferndale Sal: Was 4 wide in his last but only missed by 2 as the 2nd choice and wheels back 6 days later, was in for $80K but drops back to his proper level of $50K.

R5: #5 I B Bad: Is simply 3-4 lengths better than the rest of this field, a legit $12,000 horse, so unless he's completely crippled he'll lap this group of ragtags. Not a fan of singling in a 13 horse field but the rest of these are $5K Los Alamitos types.
R6: #3 Jump Rope Girl: Drops from MSW (As a few others are) after nearly wiring the field down the hill at SA (almost impossible to do) after getting the 6F in 1:08, steaming fast for 2YO's on that course. Looks to be the only early speed in here.
Have to agree with you on I B Bad. So far the only single i've identified. Clear standout here.

A few things I noticed:

Race #3 - Strip N Carson/Top of Atlantra look like a single. I like Truly Madera though. The 1M work on Nov4 is a sign to me, as well as W. Stute's 24% win rate on 1st routes. Add M. Garcia and looks like she may run very well.

Race #4 - Love Ferndale Sal here, but the Abrams runs them way too much....Oct 6th, Oct 19th, Nov 9th, Nov 15th. With a nice Allowance win two back he is quick to get rid of this guy before the band aid breaks. Using but cant singel. Like Pistol, but also using On Edge at a FAT 12-1. Last turf race at Del Mar would win this and coming in fresh.

Race #5 - Again I B Bad looks like a single, but man is he quick to give up the lead. If he gets a easy trip he should win but not sure he will. The rest are crap, but if I had to use another I like Ribomoon for two reasons...Blinks OFF and has a decent closing kick adn Delgadillo picks her over a few and him and Bean connect at $$$$$.

6th - Crazy race..need help here. Top pick is Smooch, blinks going on and ran well being 5w last out. Dont get the favorite unless Sadler is wizard.

7th - Ghost wins for fun on an easy lead.
