By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

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

2 Slammer Time - Logical chalk has been well backed in both career starts; third facing open company in last.

5 Shane Daniel - Stretching out around 2-turns for the first time; three seconds, is knocking at the door.

Long Shot - 4 McCovey Cove

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $26,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

5 Hugs to All - May be lone early speed, the most dangerous play in racing; clearly must catch him to win.

4 Quintons Flash - Dead late closer will be looking for some help to soften up Hugs to All; could be a futile chase.

Long Shot - 1 D'oro Dancer

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $12,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 First Queen - Beaten chalk at Fairplex, ran a fast race two back to win; like the rider switch to P Val.

6 Brought It - Tepid chalk in a wide open race; upset winner of last, has lots of back class to repeat the race.

Long Shot - 3 Rev Her Up

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

2 Sean S - Exits a 2-turn Fairplex race for a 1-turn sprint; figures to be forwardly placed throughout.

6 She'sawontontomato - Sliding down the claiming ladder to this career low class; Joel Rosario will be finishing fast late.

Long Shot - 4 Pacific Coast Girl

Race 5 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $40,000,

Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

8 Runaway Bandido - Some close, but no cigar, finishes of late; square price for a horse fast enough to upset.

10 Tiz Argent - Visually impressive MSW win when he rallied from last, 21-lengths back, to win; should see a quick pace.

Long Shot - 1 Pop'shands Are Hot

Race 6 - 11/16th miles, Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

4 Star Presence - Lost to a stablemate in last; Bob Baffert filly showed big improvement in second career start.

5 Big Tiz - Lacked a killer instinct when third in last two outings; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.

Long Shot - 6 Weekend Party

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $44,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

1 Sister Dawn - Had no shot in the Victory Ride at Saratoga; proven turf sprinter, ground saving rail trip.

Long Shot - 5 Miss Silver Brook

Race 8 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $33,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

5 Pinal - Trainer Ron Ellis doesn't claim many, but he liked this one; flattered when Bench the Judge won next out.
