By Richard Eng

Post Time 2 p.m.

Race 1 – 1 miles, Purse $52,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Tweebster – His best career race was two back over the Inglewood course; doesn’t seem as quick on grass.

Rauschenberg – Sprinter stretching out first time around 2 turns; has the pedigree top and bottom to handle it.

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.

Warren’s Swap Fox – Claimed by Doug O’Neill out of a key race; he adds blinkers on and Joel Rosario.

Long Shot – Precious Song

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.

Sister Dawn – Has become a first-class money burner; she’s been heavily favored in all 5 career starts.

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.

Go Lourdes Go – Only reason she is favored is because of Rafael Bejarano; adds blinkers on for Mr. Houdini.

Long Shot – Sexy Melody

Best Bet – Holloween Candy (race 4)
