Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
In Daddy's Honor - Chance to turn the tables on favored Homemade Brew; chance to improve a lot here.

Christy's Bullet - Good second in last when favored in open company; returns to face Cal-breds tonight.

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $14,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Dixieland Pop - Favorite takes a red flag drop in class; she runs fast, but has many gaps in her resume.
Dona Mary - Turf try was a clunker, could wake up back on synthetic surface; big rider switch to Tyler Baze.
Long Shot - Spirited Lady
Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $50,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Samantha's Rule - Has run much improved races since returning to turf; exepct a patient ride by Brice Blanc.
Ocean Style - Just miss last time in a sharp try; dead late closer will sit a trip and make one run.
Long Shot - Mean Heat
Race 5 - 7 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
First Grade - Second time starter from the maestro Jerry Hollendorfer; tough with logical improvement.

Long Shot - Miss Pleasant
Race 6 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $30,000, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up
Russian Liquor - A pick for forgiving handicappers; ran miserably in last, but other races are fast enough.
Britt's Jules - Been away 11-months, but typically faced much better; like that Joel Rosario takes the call.
Long Shot - Mi Rey
Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds
Canonize - He ran in debut like a 3/1 shot, not a 23/1 long shot; followed that up with a bullet work.
Z Day - Mike Mitchell historically has done well with Florida imports; blinkers on and is working fairly fast.
Long Shot - El Scorpio
Race 8 - 1 mile (turf), $100,000 Senorita, Fillies, 3-year-olds
Mrs Kipling - Razor sharp in U.S. debut for Neil Drysdale; good sign because he doesn't crank them up.

Long Shot - Acting Lady
Race 9 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $21,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up
