Narrative:

Traffic in the airspace. Aircraft X south pattern runway 26L. Aircraft Y 4 mile final; VOR approach; south of course for runway 26R. I told aircraft X extend upwind runway 26L to follow an aircraft inbound from the south. [That aircraft] checks in and was given left traffic runway 26L. Aircraft Y checks in on the VOR 4 mile final; 1/2 south of course as that is what VOR takes them to. Sct hands off aircraft Z 6 miles straight in runway 26R with over a 100 knot overtake on aircraft Y. Aircraft Z checks in for runway 26R tell him straight in runway 26R and issue the traffic for aircraft Y ahead on to his left on VOR runway 26R. Tell aircraft Y that he will be following aircraft Z overtaking him off of his right and higher. Aircraft X is left downwind runway 26L. I tell him that he is number 2 to follow the aircraft on a mile final. He acknowledges his clearance. I then issue traffic to aircraft X for aircraft Y who is on a 3 mile final for runway 26R and advise him that aircraft Y is south of course tracking the VOR. Aircraft X responds with looking. Approximately 1 minute later aircraft X responds with that it was close with the VOR traffic and that they had to maneuver to avoid the aircraft.I was distracted with aircraft Y on a 4 mile final with an aircraft with over a 100 knot overtake 2 miles in trail. I was trying to get the conflict resolved between the aircraft Z and aircraft Y in front resolved that I wasn't able to provide the best positive control between the other two aircraft. It would help if when sct hands off aircraft they put the faster aircraft in front instead of just dumping both on the tower to resolve the conflict. Another method would have been to extend the upwind of aircraft X more than I did.

Title: CNO Local Controller issued parallel runway traffic to an aircraft turning base late. The aircraft told the Controller they had to maneuver to avoid the traffic.
