Post Time 1:20 p.m.

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

Mananan McLir - Just missed last time when rallying up the rail; Michael Baze had to steady at a key moment.

Gary's Got Rhythm - He is not big on winning, but seems to run competitive races; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Long Shot - Trust Nobody

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $53,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Sangay - Lost to entrymate Silver Swallow in a strong effort; Bruce Headley mare appears ready to blossom.

Street Match - Tepid chalk just graduated in a good MSW win; taking a big class rise to face winners today.

Long Shot - Chocolate Lava

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Surprises Welcomed - Good debut where she was sandwiched by two next out winners; key race angle can work here.

Nightnightnight - Eastern import returns off a 8-month hiatus; suspect she was shipped to Jason Orman ready to go.

Long Shot - Aspen Diamond

Race 4 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $49,000, Claiming $80,000, 4-year-olds and up

Toasted - Has slowed a step or two, but has plenty of back class to rely upon; can sit a perfect stalking trip.

Tiz Afire - Ran better than looked last time in a rapid elongated 1-turn sprint; will enjoy today's slower pace.

Long Shot - Cayambe

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Alotta Wild - Ran a winning race for this low class level last time out; Joe Talamo returns for the money shot.

Burnt - Logical chalk ran a decent race in last for Bobby Frankel; undervalued with Rafael Bejarano riding.

Long Shot - Sydney's Secret

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Twix - Taking a big class drop to run for a claiming price for the first time; suspect she will be claimed.

Adarlyn Cat - Finally broke thru to win a head bob last time; is Baffert reduced to running culls like this?

Long Shot - Flower Fusion

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 20 feet), $75,000 Great Lady M, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Bahama Mama - Showed the resilency to bounce back win off a DQ; she does not need the lead to succeed.

Silky Smooth - She could be the most dangerous dead late closer in the field; draw a line thru the Santa Monica.

Long Shot - Coco Belle

Race 8 - 5 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Makasi - Taking the biggest class drop in racing, from a stakes to a maiden claiming; chased Trifecta King.

Felice the Cat - Leap of faith that Bejarano riding this FTS from Mark Glatt is live; decent workout pattern.

Long Shot - Chattie Katie

Best Bet - Makasi (race 8)
