Lady Railrider - She comes into this elongated sprint in top form; donít underestimate trainer Steve Specht.

Race 2 - 61/2 furlongs, $60,000 Alphabet Kisses, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Long Shot - You Lift Me Up
Race 4 - 7 furlongs, $70,000 Grey Memo, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up
Tribal Justice - Third start off a 9-month hiatus could be his best; dead late closer will see a good race shape.
