Heathersdaddysbaby - She is a win machine on turf, 10-of-27 tallies; claimed by Peter Miller, spotted to win.

Royal Prana - Fresh off a 5-month hiatus; bugboy Christian Reyes looks like a polished journeyman, high ceiling.

Long Shot - Mi Corredora

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $26,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Limited Will - Ran a winning race for this class when second to Scofield Barracks; repeat race wins this.

Journeyman - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; need not be much to compete.

Long Shot - Oceanor

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Gotcha Again - A few close, but no cigar, finishes of late; consistent grinder is due to win one of these.

Long Shot - Shakin N Dancin

Race 4 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Ms. Salt Mine - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; speed to take the lead.

Royally Large - FTS from the Jeff Mullins barn; you could do worse than back this barn in a baby race.

Long Shot - Right to Work

Race 5 - 1 mile, Purse $35,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Voodoo's Vision - Can turn the tables tonight on Lunch Money; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.

Lunch Money - Tepid chalk beat many of these last time out; dead late closer will need to weave thru traffic.

Long Shot - There Goes Gee Gee

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $51,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Mona de Momma - Lost two fast run races to good foes; she has the experience edge, and is very quick.

Charlie's Princess - Leap of faith that the hot Tim Yakteen barn will keep firing; got an education in debut.

Long Shot - Zetta's Corridor

Race 7 - 1 mile, Purse $60,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Dave's Revenge - She won her MSW last summer, and has done nothing since; has been grossly overmatched.

Third Dawn - Logical chalk is strictly the one to beat; she gets big class relief from graded stakes for this.

Long Shot - Unusual Spirit

Race 8 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 7 feet), $85,000 Wickerr, 3-year-olds and up

Aitcho - I know they have always liked this colt; draw a line thru the Californian and he fits with these.

Ferneley - Sure to be overlooked because he appears a cut below; still he runs hard every time out.

Long Shot - Sky Cape

Race 9 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $32,000, 4-year-olds and up

Coronel Moldes - Would not be shocked with a pick 6 carryover; sliding down the claiming ladder to this.

A Cat Named Snipe - Speedball gets the services of Garrett Gomez; class dropper plays catch me if you can.

Long Shot - Scottish Diamond

Best Bet - Mona de Momma (race 6)
