By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $33,000, Claiming $50,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

6 Come Home Quick - Has the advantage of recent action; her lone win on grass came at Hollywood this past May.

2 Hot Citizen - Logical chalk due to the steep drop in class; caveat is fitness off a 9-month sabbatical.

Long Shot - 1 Seeking the Queen

Race 2 - 5 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

3 Intentional - Been away since Del Mar, but drops way down in class; she obviously faced much tougher this summer.

7 Pacific Coast Girl - Sliding down the maiden claiming ladder to this career-low class; has some early speed.

Long Shot - 1 Woodman's Lass

Race 3 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $43,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

5 Sugarinthemorning - Was eased late when hopelessly beaten in the Moccasin; back down in class with her friends.

6 Teroda - Sharp MSW win last time off an even race in debut; who knows where her ceiling might end up.

Long Shot - 3 Farallon

Race 4 - 5 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

8 Gladiatrix - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; did a pop and stop in debut.

2 Ventress - Leap of faith that Garrett Gomez is riding a live piece; Jeff Mullins barn is having an awful meet so far.

Long Shot - 6 She's An Illusion

Race 5 - 1 1/2 miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $40,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Imponente Purse - Ran evenly in SoCal debut for A.C. Avila; takes the blinkers off, marathon distance really suits.

3 Dynamic Range - Claimed from Mike Mitchell, no easy feat for improvement; the status quo may be good enough.

Long Shot - 4 No Dream

Race 6 - 5 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

3 Don't Tell Me That - In a race devoid of talent, Doug O'Neill charge looks like the one; Rafael Bejarano seconds the notion.

4 Czaris - FTS has been training out of sight at San Luis Rey Downs; leap of faith in Corey Nakatani too.

Long Shot -1 Offlee Cute

Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $40,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

1 Warren's Blossom - Potential upsetter won, but ran a slower Beyer than the race before; juicy price at 6/1 odds.

3 U Turn Me Crazy - Logical chalk in an open heat fraught with danger; surprised she runs for a price tag off a win.

Long Shot - 5 Frequent Fame

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

3 Absolutlypositivly - Ran a winning race for this level in last; figures to be a part of a late cavalry charge.

Long Shot - 4 Nofty

Best Bet - 3 Intentional (race 2)
