Whatsitgonnatake - Am impressed that she's won 7-of-13 turf starts; claimed by Steve Knapp, good sign that he hires Bejarano.

Lightmyfirebaby - Like the turnback in distance as the pace will be extremely fast; Alex Solis will be flying fast late.

Long Shot - That's Hot

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $38,000, Claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Enchanting Moment - Don't usually like recent graduates facing winners for the first time; she exits a key race, a strong angle.

Schill - Brian Koriner has an uncoupled entry so caveat emptor; this one figures to stalk the pace will the other will leave.

Long Shot - Thunder and Ice

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Lippy Rules - She has faced the best of the west in the 2-YO filly division, Montana Fields, Evita Argentina & Emmy Darling.

Jakes Lady Luck - Was well bet in debut, then hardly ran at all; taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to claiming.

Long Shot - By Far

Race 4 - 5 furlongs (turf), $65,000 Daisycutter Handicap, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Queen Ofthe Catsle - She is nearly unbeaten in five turf sprints; Victor Espinoza will stalk the pace and fly by late.

Overly Tempting - She has the chance to be lone speed, the most dangerous bet in horse racing; she certainly has the back class.

Long Shot - Mini Do

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $56,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Dancing in Silks - Gets class relief from a stakes for this; he has tactical speed to attend the early pace and finish.

Pocosin's Game Boy - Interesting musical jockeys between Tyler Baze and Rafael Bejarano; will stalk the pace and grind late.

Long Shot - Onetimeatbandcamp

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds

Cach D Fish - Gets a break from parking lot 12 to a middle post; like that Hendricks adds blinkers on for the money shot.

Long Shot - Ice Ballet

Race 7 - 6 furlongs, $80,000 Pirate's Bounty Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Sailors Sunset - Rafael Bejarano exits multiple horses to ride for Marcelo Polanco; a graded stakes horse gets class relief.

Jungle Prince - Ran a bang up third in the grade 1 Bing Crosby; he's a tepid favorite in what appears a wide open affair.

Long Shot - Bullsbay

Toasted - We've got a bunch of horses dropping down in search of victory; Garrett Gomez won on this guy two races ago.

Long Shot - Hoist the Sail

Race 9 - 7 furlongs, $250,000 Del Mar Futurity, 2-year-olds

Coronet of a Baron - Was part of a rough dogfight in the contentious Best Pal; he could be lone speed if Nakatani wants.

Long Shot - Kelly Leak

Race 10 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

She's Cheeky - Was steadied at a key point in the stretch before finishing strongly; clear trip for Solis can win it.
