Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $15,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Lady Disdain - On Friday nights over Cushion track, speed and tactical speed were an asset; consistently good in this class.

Stress Free - Bill Spawr claims and drops her in class; she's proven she has a comfort level at this low claiming price.

Long Shot - Drastic Tactics

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $31,000, Maiden claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds and up

Noble Courage - We'll see early on how the speed carries on a cool Friday night in Inglewood; Bejarano will take control.

El Supremo - Victor Espinoza could sit a perfect stalking trip to the outside of Noble Courage; blinkers on for this.

Long Shot - Rough Idea

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $53,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Liberian Freighter - Just missed last time in a good try; draws the rail to save ground, gets Bejarano, improving each start.

Brian the Bold - Dead late closer will need some heat up front to do his best; perfect Alex Solis mount for a wide rally.

Long Shot - South Coast

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Lost Paradise - Appears best of a slow lot; gets class relief and should be dead fit exiting some turf and route races.

Scotty Jones - A bit long in the tooth, 16 career starts, but he's been cashing some checks lately; best stride comes late.

Long Shot - Dry Man's Gulch

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $51,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Sailor's Sister - Speed demon is from a good family, a full sister to Sailor's Sunset; plays catch me if you can.

Long Shot - No Means Maybe

Congo King - Strong closer in a real dart throw race; getting subtle, but important, class relief for this turf test.

Long Shot - Formal Rush

Sky Cape - Beaten favorite didn't handle the 2-turn turf in last; her one turn turf races are beyond reproach, flies late.
