Race 6 - 5 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Frensham - Has a lot of back class so will need a strong memory to top these tonight; has been well bet in his last five starts.

Race 7 - 1 mile, Purse $16,000, Claiming $10,000, 3-year-olds and up

2 Antinanco - Claimed by Steve Miyadi last time out; sat a nice stalking trip, the speed of the speed should be to his inside.

7 Rambling House - A parking lot post at a mile here is not as much of a detriment; Flavien Prat exited a tremendous meet at Santa Anita.

Long Shot - 1 Atascaderan

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Long Shot - 2 Ride the Shark

Best Bet - 6 Super Majesty (race 8)
