By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $42,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Fashion Trend - Decent return off a 6-month hiatus; she has one good turf try and has shown tactical speed.

Irish Torrent - She is 0-for-12 on grass so beware; her speed figures are fast enough to cash another paycheck.

Long Shot - Megaspiel

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Missoula - Sharp win in last, now drops one notch in class; Joel Rosario had choices, will ride for Jack Carava.

Pretty Kinzie - Loses her rider to Missoula; good sub in Joe Talamo, has a lot of back class to repeat her winning effort.

Long Shot - Pokomoke

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Claiming $20,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Scratchthemoon - Rafael Bejarano had options and chose this filly; won last in a well time late brush.

Ida of March - Ron Ellis is having a fine meet, regardless of what the Siegels think; Joel Rosario makes the last move.

Long Shot - Frequent Fame

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $29,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds

Diplo - Expect Doug O'Neill barn to return with a vengeance after 2 weeks off; sliding down the claiming ladder.

Jacob's Tiger - Speedy sort will like the turf rail out 10 feet; class drop can only help this guy, too.

Long Shot - Rock Solid Charm

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Alley Hondro - Ron Ellis has some good cards to play on closing day; would like to see a good guy win 3 today.

Big Burly Boy - Outran his 15/1 odds in debut; big rider switch to Rafael Bejarano for the money shot.

Long Shot - Warrens Wild Thing

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $14,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Wolfgang - Huge class drop points to a now-or-never try; Bill Spawr takes the blinkers off for this.

Luv Dragon - Beau Greeley has an uncoupled entry; keep an eye on Dynamic Host, who has slightly higher odds.

Long Shot - Trulymet'smydaddy

Race 7 - 5 furlongs, Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Smash - Bob Baffert has been winning baby races at an astonishing rate; the tote board will talk about this colt.

Devour - Was even-money favorite in debut, but lost all chance at the start; like that Rafael Bejarano remains loyal.

Long Shot - Doughboy

Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $43,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

The Bat Signal - Third start off a 7-month hiatus is a positive form cycle; will be flying fast late.

Scofield Barracks - I needed him to win last time and he just couldn't get there; has some hang in him, needs blinkers on.

Long Shot - J P Jammer

Race 9 - 1 1/2 miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), $100,000 Sunset Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Dynamic Range - Seen this before, Mike Mitchell claims, goes on to win a stakes race; not a stretch with this animal.

Unusual Suspect - Hard to close into a 49 and change half mile; he is overdue to run a big one at a square price.

Long Shot - Champ Pegasus

Race 10 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
