Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 – 7 furlongs, Purse $35,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

2 East Sky – Second start off the claim by Mike Mitchell; was bothered some in last, but also was sluggish when it counted.

3 Judge Carr – Grinder has shown an affinity for this elongated sprint distance; tactical speed to sit a decent trip.

Long Shot – 6 Nome

Race 2 – 4 1/2 furlongs, Purse $52,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

4 Yodelmesomemagic – Mike Harrington has a good resume in baby races spring meet in Inglewood; his babies are quick and ready.

7 Gisele At Fonz’s – Can’t remember the last time Garrett Gomez won one of these baby drag races; Tom Proctor is his main man.

Long Shot – 3 Debt Free Abby

Race 3 – 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $57,000, Optional claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

6 Best Present Ever – Chalk has done her best running in turf sprints; tough post, but has the right rider in Rafael Bejarano.

4 Creditcardroulette – Got a test drive in last off a 3-month hiatus; figures to move forward for Garrett Gomez-Tom Proctor.

Long Shot – 21 Sydney Darling

Race 4 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $29,000, Claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

6 Flashy Delight – First off the claim by Jack Carava; she clearly has the back class to handle this kind.

5 Lilly’s Perfect – Has a better resume over synthetics; also has fared well at Betfair Hollywood Park in the past.

Long Shot – 2 Zees Chris

Race 5 – 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $32,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

7 Don Perico – Been away 10-months since running last in Inglewood; speedbal is cutting back in distance, I like that.

4 Blue Jay Attack – Returns to a turf course where he’s run many good races; suspect will sit in arrears and make one brush.

Long Shot – 6 Red Jag

Race 6 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $30,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

1 King Maya – Here’s a sprinter stretching out first time around 2-turns; should show lots of early speed from the rail.

5 Magnum Force – Dead late closer figures to sit in arrears and make one run; Mike Smith is losing his main client John Shirreffs.

Long Shot – 4 R S Watson

Race 7 – 6 furlongs (turf), $70,000 Harry Henson, 3-year-olds

5 Summer Exclusive – Draw a line when overmatched in the Santa Anita Derby; his sprint win is fast enough to beat these.

1 Colburn – Part of an uncoupled entry from Doug O’Neill so caveat emptor; either one has an equal chance to upset.

Long Shot – 3 Meringue Pie

Race 8 – 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming 430,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 Hedger – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; best stride will come late.

1 Talk the Walk – Edwin Maldonado figures to send hard from the rail; he’ll go as fast and as far as he can.

Long Shot – 3 Wild Tony

Best Bet – 6 Best Present Ever (race 3)
