By Richard Eng

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $39,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Inspiration Within - Like the turn back in distance to this elongated sprint; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Masterful Miss - Tepid chalk in a wide open race; how confident can you be in a filly that is 1-for-17 lifetime.

Long Shot - Unusual Jane

Race 2 - 7 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Forest Phantom - Suspicious red flag drop except Rafael Bejarano takes the call; right there if anything's left.

Sunshine Ridge - Last win came at this class so the drop is not as suspicious; can be a Gomez-Bejarano duel.

Long Shot - Rogue Scholar

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $40,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Medjool - Ran like a horse in need of a race off a 5-month hiatus; switch to Bejarano for the money shot.

Sir Bell - Tepid chalk in another tough heat; broke thru with a sharp try in last, must not bounce today.

Long Shot - Vulcan

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Love to Siphon - Bob Baffert filly will be helped with no temporary rail; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Wicked Delight - Tepid chalk has been away 6-months; from a clever barn, not sure how cranked up she'll be.

Long Shot - Ellie L

Race 5 - 7 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 2-year-olds

Atticus Jack - How he wasn't claimed in last at 3/5 odds is beyond me; fits like a glove in this condition.

Let'spickupthepace - Cruise control win facing easier at Del Mar; tactical speed to get involved early on.

Long Shot - Race Caller Luke

Race 6 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $36,000, Claiming $62,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Homemade Brew - The inside posts in turf sprints hold a big edge; Brice Blanc will sit cozy and make one run.

Mini Do - Big class drop from stakes for this price tag race; Julio Canani doesn't give his horses away.

Long Shot - Unusually Hot

Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $37,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Tevez the Tiger - Interesting invader ran slow early, fast late in Keeneland debut; Bejarano takes the call.

Cut the Check - Flattered by the success of Azul Leon; been away 6-months, Solis takes the blinkers off.

Long Shot - Hold Fast

Race 8 - 1 1/8th miles (turf), $65,000 Audrey Skirball-Kenis, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Solar Miss - Reunited with Gomez who got the best rally out of her; she runs best when taken back for one pop.

Miss Singhsix - Tepid chalk in a very difficult heat; the top two choices exit the grade 3 Ramser stakes.

Long Shot - Sensational Love

Race 9 - 7 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 2-year-olds

Colorful Dancer - Typical baby debut, slow early, fast late into stride; improvement for Mike Mitchell.

Capt. Pike - Will hold value because Bejarano takes off, Joe Talamo will ride him; fits in a wide open race.
