Post Time 2 p.m.
Race 1 - 1 mile, Purse $26,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Carrie Rose - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; off the turf angle too.
Magic Lantern - Faced winners in last and was not disgraced; this also is a huge class drop to face these kind.
Long Shot - Tiz a Bud Girl
Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 7 feet), Purse $39,000, Claiming $32,000, 4-year-olds and up
Racketeer - Did everything but win last time out; is winless on turf, but has back class and runs good speed figures, value.
Big Wig - Has won 3 grass races in a row, thus is a deserving favorite; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.
Long Shot - Cadillac
Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $52,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Empress Way - Has exited some tough heats and has great pedigree to boot; can be overlooked at a juicy 5/1 odds.
Fashion Trend - Logical chalk has run some fast speed figures, but appears to lack a killer instinct; 7-of-7 in the money.
Long Shot - Roman Chic
Race 4 - 5 furlongs (turf, rail at 7 feet), Purse $54,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Can't Topper - Beaten chalk didn't finish the deal in last; should see an aggressive early pace to charge into.
Missdealornodeal - Tepid chalk in a difficult heat; grinder faced a couple of these last time out.
Long Shot - Midnight Rage
Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $36,000, Claiming $32,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up
Onefunsonofagun - Claimed by the hottest barn at Del Mar, Doug O'Neill; has what it takes to repeat her win.

Long Shot - Cool Haleigh
Race 6 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 7 feet), Purse $57,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up
Pack Your Bags - Has an impeccible turf resume, albeit going 2-turns for the first time; ready to stretch out.
Derive - Ground saving trip from the rail for the chalk; it only seems that Joel Rosario and Rafael Bejarano are winning every race.
Long Shot - Bring It Home
Race 7 - 5 1/2 furlongs, $100,000 Graduation, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds
Stormin Rae - Talk about a tough race, I won't be surprised who wins this stakes; ran a fast time at Hollywood.
Woodmans Luck - Closed fast behind Stormin Rae in last; should see a quick pace to close into.
Long Shot - Bench Points
Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up
Pious David - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; his race 2 back would crush these.
Hi Card Gambler - Showed good speed in debut; the less races the b etter in this bottom level feeder.
