Delta Storm - Hope you've recovered from one tough card yesterday; Mike Mitchell claim appears to be a welcome addition.

Within Reason - Has been knocking on the door and might break it down today; tactical speed for Gryder to sit a trip.

Long Shot - My City by the Bay

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $53,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Empressive Lady - Only filly with experience facing 6 FTS; Jeff Mullins adds blinkers on and his babies improve with racing.

Dream Sweeper - Logical chalk due to the high percentage connections of Garrett Gomez and Craig Dollase; watch the board.

Long Shot - Toro Bonito

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 7 feet), Purse $68,000, Optional claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Forest Melody - Gets big time class relief from graded stakes for this; possible lone speed will like the turf rail out 7 feet.

Eissoai - Bobby Frankel gets no shortage of talented imports into his barn; some are ready to fire, some need a race or two.

Long Shot - Ainamaa

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $16,000, 4-year-olds and up

Gray Black N White - Start of the pick 6 with a $1.5-million carryover; speedy Canani 7-YO is sliding down the claiming ladder.

World War - Mike Mitchell claim has come up a bit short, so he drops him in class; Rafael Bejarano will sit a nice trip.

Long Shot - Power Shift

Race 5 - 1 mile, Purse $42,000, Claiming $32,000, 4-year-olds and up

Tap It Light - Bill Morey has been burning them up in NoCal, he can show why in here; well spotted and draws well to succeed.

Brave Sun - Has continued running well for Jose DeLima since claimed from Hollendorfer; saves all the ground and grinds late.

Long Shot - Smoocher

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $53,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Guns On the Table - Stakes placed maiden finds the going a lot easier today; Baffert has an uncoupled entry, so be forewarned.

Concerto's Thunder - Didn't handle 2-turns in last so O'Neill sprints him again; Bejarano had choices and sticks with him.

Long Shot - Evaluate

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $63,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

South Bay Scoty - Mike Mitchell stepped in to claim after finally seeing enough; could like the slower pace of the stretch out.

Long Shot - Saint Spot

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, $300,000 Bing Crosby Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

In Summation - Proven lover of synthetic surfaces likes getting time between races; love horses like this who fight to win.

Long Shot - Barbecue Eddie

Race 9 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Burnt - She is long overdue to win and Bejarano hasn't given up either; Bobby Frankel cull will like the extra ground.
