Race 1 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 St. Malo's Gate - Carla Gaines babies typically improve a lot second time out; Rafael Bejarano riding for the title today.

5 Tanquerray - Stretching out for the first time after 2 turf sprints; showed ability, should be forwardly placed.

Long Shot - 9 Annalili

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Streets of Heaven - Tiny edge in an evenly matched 6-pack; strong Betfair Hollywood and synthetic surface resumes.

5 Max Cooper - Claimed by Doug O'Neill and spotted nicely to win first out; has speed to either lead or follow close up.

Long Shot - 3 Arresting Officer

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

5 Misdeed - Was well bet in debut and gave a good account of himself; bred to go long so no concern with this 2-turn distance.

7 Cinco de Mario - Had the lead late in his last two starts; gave it up late, which could be a red flag concern.

Long Shot - 3 Dice Flavor

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

10 Fabulous Fit - Sliding down the claiming ladder to this new low class; she sure looks worth a $16K claim on broodmare prospects.

4 Sweet Baguette - Big class drop gives her a fighting chance to upset; figures to sit a trip and come running on late.

Long Shot - 3 Pumpkin Pie

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $52,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 Mile High Magic - Gets class relief from Bob Baffert for this easier spot; plenty of speed to use early in the race.

Long Shot - 5 Royal F J

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

12 Cavalla - Every Rafael Bejarano ride gets him closer to the title; he is chasing Edwin Maldonado who has the lead.

4 Janes Ship - Showed solid improvement first time on the synthetics; outran her 54/1 odds in last, won't be near that here.

Long Shot - 1 Lady Delaney

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $45,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

4 Corinthian Melody - Ran well in debut, not so well last time in a turf route; that experience should help her tonight.

2 Sydney's Darling - Like the rail post in Inglewood turf sprints; big edge here saving all of that ground inside.

Long Shot - 7 Saturday's Girl

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Killer Bear - Goes from winning a restricted stakes to a $40K price tag; Jeff Mullins is shoving this one down our throats.

4 Chapman's Peak - Another red flag drop off a win; this may be the toughest race on the card in the pick 6 and pick 4.

Long Shot - 5 Relentless Heat

Race 9 - 7 furlongs, $200,000 King Glorius, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds

9 Surfcup - Atypical Bob Baffert MSW win rallying from last to first; his babies do improve second time out.

6 Monument - Must overcome what I think is a real post Breeders' Cup regression; it's asking a lot to run right back.

Long Shot - 5 Fighting Hussar

Race 10 - 6 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

2 Woebegon - Could be one of the shortest prices on today's card; has won 2 straight and keeps dropping down in class.

Long Shot - 5 Lady Hokulea

Race 11 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
