Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, 4-year-olds and up

5 Blu Jon - Was flattered when Stormberg won on Thursday; should handle the stretch out with his distance pedigree.

1 World Renowned - Good second in last over a sloppy dirt oval; saves all the ground inside for Joel Rosario.

Long Shot - 6 Death Star

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Claiming $75,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

2 Hennessy River - Flattered when Lady of Shamrock won last out; big class relief from the China Doll to a $75K price tag.

Race 4 - 7 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

1 Game Charmer - Has had many chances at this bottom level and keeps missing; one day like this she will inherit the lead.

1 Falcon Rock - Ran miserably in last and is dropped down to $40K here; it's now or never time to produce.

Long Shot - 3 Antidote

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, 4-year-olds and up

3 Cardiff Giant - Drop from $20K to $8K may be enough to produce victory; suspect multiple claims on this gelding.

Long Shot - 8 Brady Blue Eyes

Race 7 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 24 feet), $75,000 La Puente, 3-year-olds

2 Blingo - Well regarded colt exits two graded stakes for an easier spot; still eligible for NW2L allowance condition.
