La Brea:
Lots of speed, with #1 Taris fast with an element of press to boot; I think the 8 is going to cause a lot of havoc among the need to lead types so my top choices are the 9 Sam's Sister and the 10 Jojo Warrior (who has pressed from 4th to place 2nd and who is more experienced than the 9. Both horses have shown that they do not need the lead in fast races in order to be competitive.

Malibu:
If you do not default and just take Shared Belief as a single, there might be some value in the 2, Chitu or the 3 Indianapolis, both of whom have faster 7 furlong times than Shared Belief and both usually like to lay closer at fast paces that SB. Chitu appears to be the only true E horse and could wire the field.

Good luck to you all,
