TODAY AT DEL MAR

By Richard Eng

Post Time 2 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Moon Moment - Reputation choice from the Craig Dollase barn; workouts have been so-so, live rider in Corey Nakatani.

Chilliwack - Only horse with experience facing 7 FTS; has early speed so her tactics are simple, pop the gate and keep going.

Long Shot - Diva Dolly

Race 2 - 1 mile, Purse $40,000, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds

High Stakes Silver - Just missed in last and is now dropped one notch in class; better tactical speed to sit a good trip.

Hunter Creek - Claimed by Art Sherman off a disappointing effort; he offers good value on the class rise with Joel Rosario.

Long Shot - Change Your Mask

Race 3 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 7 feet), Purse $48,000, Claiming $50,000, 4-year-olds and up

Charmo - Could see a favorable race shape if Boule d'Or and Quest Venture do battle early; serious class drop for Canani.

Boule d'Or - Speedball gets class relief from graded stakes for this; Tyler Baze will keep a close eye on Lightning Hit.

Long Shot - Lightning Hit

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Deb's Mojo - Wesley Ward takes the blinkers off the speedball to try and relax her; slight choice in a wide open race.

Grace Gryder - Outran her high odds last time when up late for second; she'll need a fast pace up front to do her best work.

Long Shot - Flash Dance

Race 5 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 7 feet), Purse $53,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Kinesiology - Positive trend for Craig Dollase babies second time out; good education in debut, wasn't asked to do too much.

Century Park - Bob Baffert barn has won a couple races of late; this filly was favored in debut due to high profile connections.

Long Shot - Dreamalong

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $30,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

She Floats - Of the last out maiden claiming winners, her race was best looking; claimed by John Sadler, has a high ceiling.

Ms Toomsuba - Claimed by Steve Knapp off a sharp maiden claiming win; suspect Rafael Bejarano will try to take her back.

Long Shot - Bella Dancer

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, $80,000 Harry F. Brubaker Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Rush Rush - Figures to be overlooked because his big won was in an $80k claimer; note that he is unbeaten over Del Mar turf.

Hyperbaric - Logical favorite figures to be a very short price for Julio Canani and Garrett Gomez; strictly the one to beat.

Long Shot - Knockout Artist

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Winning Yield - Taking a 50 percent drop from $50k to $25k today; has tactical speed for Aaron Gryder to sit a perfect trip.

Gato Viejo - Another class dropper, an important element in this bottom class level; Mike Smith may have to ride him hard.

Long Shot - Nasty Gent

Best Bet - She Floats (race 6)

Del Mar Tuesday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 16/3/$17.20; Long Shots, 8/3/$20.40; Best Bet, 1/0/$0
