By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $13,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

Autocue - Flattered in last when Fiery Trippi won next out; dead late closer surely fits in this $8K category.

Premiere Flyer - Stride late last time in a solid try; Jim Kasparaff adding blinkers on, major contender.

Long Shot - Super Harmony

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

She's Not Lion - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; figures to close well late.

Princess Beau K - Was flattered in last when Tens Salty Sally won next out; saves all the ground under David Flores.

Long Shot - Girlwithgoldhoof

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $53,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 4-year-olds and up

One Track Mind - Took the field as far as he could in the Californian; looks like lone speed in here under Mike Smith.

Spurrier - Non-threatening fourth in the Californian; Bob Baffert has an uncoupled entry, neither one is favored.

Long Shot - Delightful Kiss

Race 4 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $26,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Galleta Monstruo - Flattered when Sulution won next out; Brice Blanc has had a big meet with the jockey colony watered down.

Eze Does It - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; tactical speed to be forwardly placed throughout.

Long Shot - Come in Almighty

Race 5 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

A Z Warrior - Bob Baffert has an uncoupled entry, and both look very quick; Martin Garcia is the main stable rider.

Indian Gracey - Morning line favorite in a race full of FTS; you have the edge of seeing the tote board action.

Long Shot - Righteous Renee

Race 6 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $44,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Timezone - Broke her MSW nicely on grass; no shame in last losing to Excellent News, pedigree to do a lot more.

Sweet Hanni - She has won 3 of 5 starts on grass; horses can, and do, outrun their pedigree, useful sort.

Long Shot - Holy Flapper

Race 7 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Kaylie's Joy - Draw a line thru her bad turf race in last; she is much better, faster over the synthetic surfaces.

A Sassy Fusaichi - Has proven she does not need the lead to succeed; Joel Rosario likes to rate and save some horse.

Long Shot - Dreams Afleet

Race 8 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Onenightin Beijing - FTS from the white hot Bob Baffert barn; like the inside posts in these 6-furlongs turf sprints.

Malibu Pier - Another FTS, this one from Carla Gaines; like the vote of Rafael Bejarano, watch the tote board for clues.

Long Shot - Platinum Mine

Best Bet - One Track Mind (race 3)
