By Richard Eng

Post Time 2 p.m.

Long Shot - Distorted Economy

Race 2 - 7 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Mary Strong - Mike Mitchell class dropper figures to be double tough with Rafael Bejarano; will be grinding late.

Race 3 - 5 furlongs, Purse $54,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

El Nadia - Like the turn back in distance where she should be flying fast in the lane; must avoid traffic woes.

Long Shot - Amina

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Holloween Candy - Looks like a monster here as she slides down the claiming ladder; better if sent to the lead.

Lady Adelle - Second best last time in a decent try; gets reunited with Joe Talamo for the money shot.

Long Shot - Haunted Highway

Race 5 - 5 furlongs (turf), Purse $64,000, Optional claiming $100,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Porto Marmay - There is so much speed in the field, the race is crying for a closer; let's see if she can get up this time.

Pasar Silbano - Been away 7 months, but has a ton of back class; she might be the speed of the speed, fresh and fit.

Long Shot - Reba Is Tops

Race 6 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 2-year-olds

Comma to the Top - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; big rider switch to Rafael Bejarano.

Ride Candy Ride - Good speed effort when third in last; best shot to upset is to try and outbreak the chalk.

Long Shot - Celestic Night

Race 7 - 1 3/8th miles (turf), Purse $57,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Tripitaka - Was flattered when Champ Pegasus ran a good second in the Sunset; was able to set a slow pace in last.

Job Boss - Interesting long shot has a chance to sit a trip and fire late; good value under Joe Talamo.

Long Shot - Scorpion Time

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Warrens Matchmaker - Embarrassing pick is 0-for-11 lifetime; key vote is from Tyler Baze, best of an awful lot.
