Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $42,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Magic Lantern - She has synthetic surface experience in England; showed some ability in two U.S. turf tries.

D’Elegance - Tepid chalk is strictly a leap of faith on Bob Baffert and Martin Garcia; has not show much talent.

Long Shot - Tiz Misty

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Honey Bunch - Joel Rosario exits a John Sadler to ride for David Hofmans; beaten chalk is capable of better.

Zohrah - Ran evenly in debut for Michael Pender; key for me was Rafael Bejarano rode, must have shown a.m. talent.

Long Shot - East Lake Shore

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $29,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Malibu Artiste - Logical chalk takes a subtle notch drop in class; has really improved since claimed by Mark Glatt.

Long Shot - Forever My Love

Race 4 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $29,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Hasty Trend - Has proven he does not need the lead to succeed; can sit off Living Word and grind it out late.

Brenthurst - Was overmatched in a first level allowance in last; like that he is spotted back with friends today.

Long Shot - Living Word

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $43,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Scofield Barracks - Dead late closer might sit a hair closer today under Joel Rosario; bad habit of tardy starts.

The Bat Signal - Sure to be overbet off a sharp second in last; second start off an 8-month hiatus.

Long Shot - Mensa Heat

Race 6 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $34,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Jaws n’ Paws - Exits a pretty salty group in last; runs first time for a price tag, very comfortable spot.

Long Shot - Pay for Play

Long Shot - Thomas Baines

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), $100,000 Will Rogers, 3-year-olds
