By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/8th miles (turf), Purse $43,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Asperity - Good second in a hard fought race last time; colt is much better on turf than synthetic surfaces.

Westerly Magic - Logical chalk has won twice and keeps climbing the class ladder; this will be a stern test.

Long Shot - Man to Man

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $14,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up

Noble Courage - Career best race in last and appears ready for his photo; flattered when Solo Performance won.

Taleitlikeitain't - Been away 4-months, but faced much better at Del Mar; watch the tote board for clues.

Long Shot - Greygarious

Race 3 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

Held Up - There is a ton of early speed, Clinton Potts can get a perfect stalking trip; may be a Potts double.

Primary Notice - Been away 15-months, but Cliff Sise has good stats in that category; returns on the drop.

Long Shot - Indian Weaver

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $8,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Ann's Plan - Bill Spawr drops her into a win or else spot; away 3-months, she ran well twice in Inglewood.

Early Anna - Second best in last facing a similar group; she's better than that and could move forward again.

Long Shot - Ju Ju Baby

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $38,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Schill - She prefers to to hunt rather than be the hunted; will have a moving target today in Held Fast.

Carmel Coffee - Wide trip last time when in the 4-path throughout; if she saves any ground, she'll move forward.

Long Shot - Ashton Girl

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $31,000, Claiming $50,000, 2-year-olds

Delaware Doe - Looks like a Garrett Gomez special; he has a way of taking horses back and making one run.

Trainspotting - May be the toughest race in the pick 6; speedy sort fought hard dueling a fast pace in last.

Long Shot - The Bat Signal

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $43,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Double Dip - Like that Gomez takes the call; her race two back is the one Garrett is hoping to emulate.

Forest Melody - Speedy sort will be dangerous if left alone too long; she is overdue to run a big one.

Long Shot - Exquisite

Race 8 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $37,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Joking Sam - Was improving under Ron McAnally, Bob Baffert puts the icing on the cake; be along in time.

Candy Arches - Speedball switches from Chantal Sutherland to Rafael Bejarano; this only depresses her odds.

Long Shot - Savu
