Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $28,000, Claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds

Professnl Courtesy - Ground saving trip; Rafael Bejarano had options and decided to ride this colt.

Zetterberg - Tepid chalk in a wide open race; takes a small, but significant, drop in class to win.

Long Shot - Carson's Copper

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $36,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds

Star Redeemer - John Sadler has an uncoupled entry in here; suspect that one of the two will win.

Leavethegateopen - Favored Sadler entry ridden by Martin Pedroza; showed high cheese in last.

Long Shot - Beauteous Maximus

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Saxophone - Exits a win in a NW2L condition claimer; no heroes in here so he could win right back.

Brooker - Tepid chalk exits a horrible effort in last; was claimed by the white hot Ted West, we'll see.

Long Shot - Satellite

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $30,000, Claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Nima's Pad - When Bejarano or Gomez jump on a nondescript runner, you need to look at the horse twice.

Seven Secrets - Sharp win in last and deserves this double jump in class; improving for Jack Carava.

Long Shot - Headache

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds

Superfecta - Winner for Ted West who drops him in class; red flag move, but won twice off the claim.

You Is What You Is - Joel Rosario off has been a good handicapping angle; Garrett Gomez sits for one move.

Long Shot - Norco Pal

Race 6 - 1 mile (turf), $100,000 Miesque, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Habaya - Ran a better than looked race in the Jessamine; she still has an incredible high ceiling.

Emmy Darling - Exits a good try in the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf; she faces much easier in this spot.

Long Shot - Internallyflawless

Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $14,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 2-year-olds

Indy Olmo - Was well bet last time and showed improvement; should see plenty of cheap early speed.

Bubsy - Tepid chalk ran evenly in an improved effort; may have finally found his comfort level.

Long Shot - Red Jasper

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), $400,000 Citation Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Medici Code - Got a perfect test drive in last off a 8-month hiatus; has more back class than you think.

Whatsthescript - Logical chalk is sure to be way overbet; no doubt his best race would crush these.

Long Shot - Hyperbaric

Race 9 - 7 furlongs, Purse $38,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Swift Demand - A stride late in last; Garrett Gomez remains loyal, takes care of unfinished business.

Pack Your Bags - Another Rosario off play; has tactical speed, and Bejarano, to attend the early pace.

Long Shot - Major Smoke

Race 10 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $12,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up
