Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

5 Michailasheartlite - Huge rider switch to Rafael Bejarano for the money shot; he moves horses up a length or two.

4 Roulette It Roll - NoCal shipper graduated well over the Tapeta surface; speed to get involved early.

Long Shot - 1 Jenny Jenny Emily

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

2 Shane Daniel - Like the idea of this sprinter stretching out for P Val; will enjoy the much slower fractions.

1a Just Imagine - Uncoupled Doug O'Neill entry so caveat emptor; solid chance for trainer to run 1-2 in here.

Long Shot - 4 Cash Michael

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

4 Go Tena Go - Nice turf route debut up in NoCal; should transfer that form fine for the Inglewood synthetics.

1 Recipient - Tom Proctor barn has underachieved so far this meet; he has good stock that fits on paper.

Long Shot - 5 Lemon Drop Ridge

Race 4 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $26,000, Claiming $32,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

4 Tamerin - Ran like a short horse last time off an 8-month hiatus; flattered when Always a Princess won next out.

6 Ashee - Jeff Mullins barn is heating up so look twice at his runners; could benefit from a suicide pace.

Long Shot - 3 Entabeni

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $44,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

7 El Martillo - Bob Baffert has an uncoupled entry; this is the longer odds and should be closing into a fast pace.

1 Spaniard - Logical chalk figures to have lots of company on the front end; clearly on paper the one to beat.

Long Shot - 6 Truest Legend

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

3 Movie Duty - Tight fit between the 2 chalks; has the controling speed and the grit to finish the job.

1 Pretty Kinzie - Hollywood surface lover is dangerous in Inglewood; hopes someone softens up Movie Duty.

Long Shot - 2 Scratchthemoon

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $40,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

4 Blue Jay Attack - Rough trip in last has to been seen; if he gets a clean trip, will be awfully hard to handle.

2 Danzing Tribal - Exits an even effort where he can improve; chased the chalk two back and is capable of upsetting.

Long Shot - 3 A Plus Topper

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

9 Take a Hard Look - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; beat the Bob Baffert cull.
