10 Guest Star - Has really improved the last two starts off a 3-month hiatus; John Shirreffs must of corrected something.

Long Shot - 9 American Blend

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, $75,000 Paseana Handicap, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

3 Charm the Maker - With Ron McAnally getting knee surgery, a win here would boost his spirits. class relief for modest stakes.

Long Shot - 7 Candrea

1 Nicegirlsfnishlast - Let's hope Rafael Bejarano did not break his wrist yesterday; if so he'll need replacement riders.

Race 7 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, 4-year-olds and up

Race 8 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), $150,000 San Gabriel, 4-year-olds and up
