Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $18,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Real Lift - Claimed by Kristin Mulhall off a game win; raised one level in class, Bejarano stays loyal, repeat race wins it.

Zee Topper - Disappointed in last, Knapp drops im in class to win; has shown an affinity for the synthetic surfaces.

Long Shot - Annie Oakleaf

Race 2 - 7 furlongs, Purse $33,000, Maiden claiming $75,000, 3-year-olds

Dee Tee Bee - Second best last time, running a winning race for this level; parking lot post is good in an elongated sprint.

Huss the King - Respect for Gomez riding in a maiden claiming race; like the turn back in distance from 2-turns to this.

Long Shot - Harlem

Race 3 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $10,000, 4-year-olds

Flip the Penny - Gets big class relief from the Cal Cup to this modest claiming level; has run some good ones for Bill Spawr.

Cry Me No River - Logical chalk blew away the field last time out; suspicious red flag drop in class, repeat effort wins it.

Long Shot - Candy's Bro

Race 4 - 1 mile, Purse $21,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Zoe's Marq - Draws the best post for a mile race; sprinter stretching out figures to be forwardly placed throughout.

Quaint Lass - Not much to look at past performance wise, but like the way Rosario is riding; best stride will come late.

Long Shot - Warren's Squeeze

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds

Polish Pete - Not intimidated by climbing up the class ladder; doing well for Kruljac and enjoying the synthetic surfaces.

Fort Funston - Tepid chalk in a wide open race; figures to be way overbet due to Gomez and first off the claim by Sadler.

Long Shot - No Sweat

Race 6 - 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 4-year-olds and up

High Investment - I know he's 0-for-12, but he's run some good sprint races; I think 7-furlongs is his best distance.

Seven Point One - Tepid chalk in an open race; the one to beat, but the rail post in this elongated sprint is a negative.

Long Shot - Scotty Jones

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $57,000, Optional claiming $32,000, Cal-breds, 4-year-olds and up

Steven's Being - Hasn't won on synthetic surfaces, but should be dead fit off recent races; like that Bejarano remains loyal.

Angus - Sprinter stretching out figures to be the target on the front end; speed can win under the right circumstances.

Long Shot - Swiss Ski

Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds

The Royals Court - Claimed by the maestro Jerry Hollendorfer; he keeps Gomez on and turns him back to this elongated sprint.

Romance Is Zenon - No barn is hotter this meet than the Mike Mitchell stable; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.

Long Shot - Parisian Art
