Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $25,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

Saint Spot - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; Solis saves ground, Canani barn is red hot.

Lunch Time - Another taking the steep class drop from MSW to maiden claiming; seems like Bejarano is everyone's go to rider.

Long Shot - Sincity Glow

Race 2 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $54,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Silver Z - Favorite figures to be lone speed, the most dangerous play in racing; second start off an 11-month sabbatical.

P.S.U. Grad - Interesting heat despite a miniature 5-horse field; Dollase filly gets big class relief from grade 3 stakes.

Long Shot - Zilla

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds

Byjohn - Sharp win off the claim by Hess, has back class to repeat the effort; he may like Hollywood more than Santa Anita.

Uxmal - Tepid chalk in an open affair; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip, West barn has heated up after a slow period.

Long Shot - Coronas At Delmar

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds

Earlfromoklahoma - At this low class level, sometimes the less starts the better; Monteleone gelding holds a big class edge.

Carson's Copper - Speedball returns off a 8-month hiatus; Peter Miller drops him way down in class, key is Bejarano rides.

Long Shot - Dunlap

Race 5 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $36,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Mark Set Go - Got the worst trip of the meet in last, she can only do better; jocks that can't make up their mind go 5-wide.

Angeletta - Even effort off the claim last time by Jerry Hollendorfer; she has every right to improve this next time out.

Long Shot - Broad Try

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Russian Liquor - Speedball ran big to finish second off a 7-month hiatus; the only one who can go with him is High Investment.

Carmens Excess - Ran green as grass in his career debut; Rafael Bejarano remains loyal so expect improvement in second start.

Long Shot - Adhere

Race 7 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $53,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Ginger Pop - Ran a big effort in last to just miss; she has proven to Dan Hendricks she is a much better filly on grass.

Kazamira - Classy looking John Shirreffs filly tries turf for the first time; regardless she should appreciate the class relief.

Long Shot - Dawn Before Dawn

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

Soup Deeohdouble G - Was well bet in debut, sluggish start doomed her; Monteleone adds blinkers on so expect more speed.
