Long Shot - Within Reason

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Brianville - Let's try this sprinter stretching out around 2 turns for the first time; speed carries farther at night in Inglewood.

Long Shot - Tizexchange

Race 3 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $44,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Jack's Wild - The top 3 were in a mad scrum back on June 18; not much separating them except who gets the best trip.

Miguel's Mascot - Tepid chalk in another good test; ran great off a year hiatus, question is whether he'll bounce or not.

Long Shot - Pop'shands Are Hot

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $15,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Aeromon - Logical chalk gets the ultimate rider switch to Rafael Bejarano for the money shot; clean trip wins it.

Gold Schleiger - Speedball tactics just missed in last off a year hiatus; expect similar speed tactics tonight.

Long Shot - Olympic Magic

Race 6 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $26,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Long Shot - Melbisha

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $43,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Can't Topper - Mike Mitchell sharp shooter has won 2 straight; she should see plenty of pace to stalk and pounce late.
