1 My Selection – Beaten favorite lost to the ill-fated Bobina last time; has every right to improve a lot today.

5 Enduring Promise – Rafael Bejarano is starting the meet white hot; speedball had a tough parking lot post in last.

Race 8 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up
