Post Time 7:05 p.m.

Race 1 – 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $35,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Justice Is Brief – Clutch win in last, is capable of repeating the effort; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Lupita’sluckyangel – Just missed last time in a game effort; she may be slightly better over the synthetics.

Long Shot – Mean Heat

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

Daylight Storm – Should draw in off the also eligible list; ran well first time for a price tag.

Pierre Bear – FTS from Doug O’Neill, his babies have been firing bullets; watch the tote for clues.

Long Shot – Running Bear

Race 3 – 1 1/8th miles (turf), Purse $32,000, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up

Isipingo – Was overmatched in last stakes off the claim by Doug O’Neill; has a big class edge today.

Rumba Along – This should be his comfort level for Kristin Mulhall; tactical speed to sit a good trip.

Long Shot – Seminole Native

Race 4 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Remember Seattle – Have reason to think she’ll bounce back tonight; her race two back would crush these.

Ju Ju Baby – Tepid chalk doesn’t give one confidence; her last win came with Kayla Stra riding her.

Long Shot – Startin Fresh

Race 5 – 7 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Phoebe’s Tune – Ran a winning race in last for this bottom level; she likely still has room to improve.

Skim Milk – Tepid chalk was rolling over the top of horses in last; should see lots of cheap speed in here.

Long Shot – Michelle Marie

Race 6 – 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $25,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

My King – Was sent willy nilly into a wicked pace last time; upset chance if given a smarter ride.

Deep Pockets – Rafael Bejarano is winning races at an incredible clip; figures to sit close up early.

Long Shot – Scorpion Time

Race 7 – 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Unzip Me – Filly may not want to go far, but she can go fast; Joel Rosario will sit back and make one run.

Grey Lassie – Speedball figures to be on the engine from the get go; David Flores plays catch me if you can.

Long Shot – Suziquette

Race 8 – 7 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Victory Knock – Like the turn back in distance to this elongated sprint; should have some late energy.

Marcade – Second best last time, now faces a similar group; need not be much to graduate tonight.

Long Shot – Unusual Soul

Best Bet – Unzip Me (race 7)
