Run Over You - His last two speed figures tower over this group; caveat is he is a come from behind type in a small field.

Brave Justice - Sliding down the claiming ladder to this career low class; should have a puncher's chance.

Long Shot - Ever So Humble

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Cozi Rosie - John Sadler entered two clearly to make the race go for this filly; bred to easily handle the stretch out.

Long Shot - On the Cover

Race 3 - 1 mile, Purse $14,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds and up

Indy Ride - Was left with way too much to do in last; at a mile, he'll be sitting much closer to the early pace.

Long Shot - Chop House George

Race 4 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

This Time Baby - Only filly with experience to show any kind of ability; was heavily favored in her debut.

Champion Ride - Key angles are Cliff Sise is productive with FTS and the sire Candy Ride is throwing out runners.

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Phoenician Star - Small edge in the toughest race on the card; was well bet in debut and is liable to improve a step.

Lana's Lovely - Like the turn back in distance where her best stride should come late; passes tired foes in the lane.

Long Shot - Lisa Lulu

Race 7 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 30 feet), Purse $56,000, Allowance, 4-year-olds and up

Monzante - Exits 3 grade 1 stakes for this much easier task; Mike Mitchell wants a confidence builder for him.
