Race 1 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Pink Polkadots - Claimed by Mike Mitchell and spotted nicely to graduate; need not be much in this group.

Sunny Peace - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; will be chugging late.

Long Shot - Princess Patty B

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $24,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 2-year-olds

Scorewithcater - Claimed off a sharp maiden win by Doug O'Neill; closing style in a race packed with speed.

Beau Gris - Logical chalk has a least two speedballs to contend with inside of him; Bejarano takes over.

Long Shot - Aquicksting

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up

Exceeding - Huge class drop for a barn that is hot this meet; Bill Spawr has already won out on this horse.

Reality Now - Should be the primary speed; been away 9-months, but gets the great Rafael Bejarano to ride.

Long Shot - Swiss Ski

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $38,000, Allowance, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Pride - Todd Pletcher SoCal division appears loaded for bear; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.

Candilejas - Will enjoy the class relief off two grade 1 stakes; like the turn back in distance too.

Long Shot - Malusita

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $36,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Magic Roberta - Class relief from two stakes for this MSW; the rail in turf sprints is a decided advantage.

Fastongrass - Sharp run last time in a much improved effort; similar race will put her right there again.

Long Shot - Exotic Design

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $9,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

Silver Vista - Rail skimming ride for Chantal Sutherland; adds blinkers on, tactical speed to protect his post.

Twin Turbo - May be overbet as stretching out around 2-turns is a big deal; also he has not one drop of speed.

Long Shot - Bodacat

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $48,000, Optional claiming $100,000, 3-year-olds and up

Hewitts - Speedball from the turf rail could be awful tough to catch; aided by the turf rail out 15 feet today.

Delta Storm - Did not have the best of trips last time in the Turf Express; can sit a perfect stalking trip.

Long Shot - Racketeer

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $13,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Dixieland Pop - The pick 6 has little chance of carrying over again; big class drop from MSW to maiden claiming.

Clever Caitlyn- Did a classic pop and stuff last time; her key race was two back when second in a stalking trip.

Long Shot - Paddlin Mud

Best Bet - Exceeding (race 3)
