By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Fu Peg He Rat - Dead late closer runs consistently well, not fast enough lately to win; facing a softer group.

A Lil Dumaani - Logical chalk is a consistent 10-of-15 in the money; tactical speed to protect his inside post.

Long Shot - Empire House

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Msty Aly - Can be the most dangerous bet in horse racing, lone speed; simple tactics of catch me if you can.

Change My Luck - Finally found her comfort last time; closed well on the drop in class, fits well tonight.

Long Shot - Paddlin Mud

Race 3 - 1 1/2 miles (turf), $150,000 Sunset Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Black Astor - Early speed wins more marathon races than you think; Joe Talamo can set whatever pace he wants.

Spring House - Logical chalk will be at the mercy of pace; he does not run until the last quarter mile.

Long Shot - Obrigado

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $12,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

Sonic West - Jack Van Berg is sitting on a goose egg; he's got 2 shots to win, here and in race 6.

Frankelstein - One of many class droppers; there hasn't been much claiming lately, taxes and the economy.

Long Shot - Push Send

Race 5 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 2-year-olds

Seeuat Sticknstein - Figures to sit a trip and can pick up the pieces late; like that he takes the blinkers off.

Ranger Heartley - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; early speed to spare.

Long Shot - Catch My Tale

Race 6 - 7 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

Crimson Star - Might run better if he has a target, like Trilliant; Rafael Bejarano makes the difference late.

Trilliant - He's won 3-times at lower class levels; clearly the one to beat, figures to get way overbet.

Long Shot - Quityerbellyaching

Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Streakin Excess - Tough looking entry from Ted West; don't expect Garrett Gomez and Victor Espinoza to duel.

Church Avenue - Good looking debut, slow early but closed in stride late; figures to keep improving.

Long Shot - Moon Racer

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $50,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Dover Street Art - Was scratched the other day for this easier spot; like that Doug O'Neill hires Garrett Gomez.

Long Shot - Axel Foley

Race 9 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Action in May - Let's see if Garrett Gomez can win the meet finale; dead late closer will be flying late.

Joking Sam - Ran OK in last, his first for a claiming price; figures to move forward facing a motley crew.

Long Shot - Personality Kid
