Warren's Adventure - Didn't take to grass last time, now returns to her preferred surface; distance may suit her too.

Long Shot - Veils de Fleur

Race 2 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $38,000, Claiming $62,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Belly Button Dawn - Speedball may have a tactical advantage over this six-pack; rail out 10 feet and lone speed today.

Carly Effect - She may be better suited as a late closing sprinter; may have moved too soon in last and faltered late.

Long Shot - Kimmy'sklassylady

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $28,000, Maiden claiming $62,500, 2-year-olds

Three Park Night - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to claiming; ran evenly in last in route debut.

Dirty Dish Mitch - Logical chalk is vulnerable because he is facing tougher and going 2-turns for the very first time.

Long Shot - Stalemate

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $48,000, Allowance, 2-year-olds

Dr. Au Jus - Interesting Canadian invader was highly regarded at Woodbine; SoCal debut for O'Neill and Espinoza.

Gone Grand - Was overmatched in the Generous and showed a dislike for the turf; speedy sort returns to Cushion track.

Long Shot - Reel Prime

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $42,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Spankey Come Home - Been away 9-months since the Risen Star debacle; upset Tiago and Time Squared, he's got some talent.

Royal Vision - Gets in off the also eligible list, always an intriguing angle; like that Bejarano is taking the call.

Long Shot - Mind the Minister

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $54,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Air Commander - Never looked comfortable in his return off a 8-month hiatus; had three works since and will be sharper.

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $50,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

Ever a Friend - Was flattered when Bushwacker was an upset stakes winner last weekend; suspect Clement sent out some runners.

Long Shot - Haraldo

Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds
