By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 mile, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

It's Partytime - Has been well backed in her last four starts; Gary Sherluck barn has been producing winners.

At Your Service - Eddie Truman filly is sliding down the claiming ladder; Chantal Sutherland is vastly underrated.

Long Shot - Ocean Babe

Race 2 - 1 mile, Purse $27,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Step Lightly - Mark Casse has an uncoupled entry, I expect one of them to win; Patrick Husbands chose this filly.

Be So Special - Speedy sort gets class relief from the Cal Oaks for this claimer; will likely track Nine to Dine early.

Long Shot - Twoformeoneforyou

Race 3 - 7 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Keira's Way - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; her speed figures are good too.

Secret Potion - Dangerous coming from the maestro Jerry Hollendorfer; she'll unleash her best stride late.

Long Shot - Gale in the Vale

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $23,000, Claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds

Fantasy Free - Claimed by Mike Marlow off a sharp win; if he repeats that race, he'll win again tonight.

Lunch Time - Second start off a 2-month hiatus; he looked like he needed the race, should be tighter for this try.

Long Shot - Guts

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Rare Nugget - Logical chalk won for $25K now slides down to $16,000; like that Garrett Gomez rides in a cheap race.

Frangipanni - Sliding down the claiming ladder to this career low level; her win two back is fast enough here.

Long Shot - Pindaric

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Jilona - Cannot remember the last time trainer Beau Greely won a race; the one to beat on the steep class drop.

She's All Rev'd Up - Off slow in debut, she found her best stride late; dangerous with natural improvement.

Long Shot - Kentucky Nectar

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), $100,000 Baldwin, 3-year-olds

Dream Now - No barn is hotter in the U.S. than Julio Canani; colt's hillside win two back was a thing of beauty.

Dream of Kaylee - Tries turf for the first time; he has a world of talent and figures to start showing it.

Long Shot - Flashmans Papers

Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds

Leavethegateopen - Tiny edge in the most difficult race on the card; chased a fast horse in Devil Cat MD.

White Lace Jimmy - Chantal Sutherland was smoking last time with a big stretch rally; this can be a useful animal.

Long Shot - Tavern

Race 9 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Tie - Adam Kitchingman filly figures to be forwardly placed throughout; they will all be wobbling home in the stretch.

Spirited Lady - Been away 3-months, but returns on the class drop and with Rafael Bejarano; need not be much.

Long Shot - Dixie Lady
