Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up
General Bueno - Beaten favorite has been knocking at the door; can sit closer as there's not much speed in here.
Miller's Turbo - Chance to lead early or sit just off of Sir Bell, a sprinter stretching out; fit off turf routes.
Long Shot - Dorita's Dream
Race 2 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $58,000, Allowance, 4-year-olds and up
Lang Field - Chance to be the controlling early speed once again; has been a different horses under Sherman shedrow.
Unrivaled Song - Logical chalk is no cinch in a small, but select, field; dead late closer will still need pace.
Long Shot - Corey County
Race 3 - 4 1/2 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds
Billie Bob - I guarentee you she faced much tougher MSW company at Keeneland; beaten chalk can atone facing easier.
Hi Lily Hi Lo - Has a big edge due to an inside post in this abbreviated sprint; Harrington babies will improve.
Long Shot - Lauren C
Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $16,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up
Court Seeker - Like the claim by Miller, two good works, and can show improvement; need not be much to compete today.
I'maladytak - Decent check cashier appears to be going well of late; Court can sit a nice trip and grind it out late.
Long Shot - River Lane
Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up
Peace Accord - Beaten favorite is adding blinkers on today; Sise and Chavez have teamed up for many wins, good spot.
Buckshot - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to claiming; should be dead fit exiting a turf route.
Long Shot - Kickin Back
Race 6 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $51,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up
My Man Murf - Making his turf debut, but I like the talent he's shown so far; by a sneaky good turf stallion, Anziyan.
Yodelen Dan - Sharp win last time out, a repeat race puts him right there again; will sit back and make one big run.
Long Shot - Driven By Excess
Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $49,000, Allowance, Fillies, 3-year-olds
Kitten Exchange - Monster try chasing Sindy With an S, repeat race would beat these; came back with a very quick work.
Debie Ginsburg - Machowsky adding blinkers on for this; dead late closer ran evenly in last, her debut was much better.
Long Shot - Queen Ofthe Catsle
Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up
I'm a Shoe In - Appears to be sitting on a good one, good enough to beat these anyway; tactical speed to sit a trip.
