Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $16,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

2 Mack's Gold Bullet - Exits a sharp win at Fairplex in a higher class; dangerous is he can replicate the effort.

4 Warren's Concept - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; last time he won he ran for a $14K price tag.

Long Shot - 9 Imperial Pride

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $47,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

3 Attigirl Meadow - Cuts back in distance from route to hillside sprint; will be in arrears early but come flying fast late.

11 Spring Bloom - Twice beaten favorite should relish the parking lot post; fresh horse should be ready to fire.

Long Shot - 5 Puff Pastry

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

9 Toomanylucky's - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; he was well bet in both career starts.

8 Axle - Kathy Walsh adding blinkers on; did everything but win last time at Fairplex, should be in good form right now.

Long Shot - 4 Surely Swift

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $28,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 2-year-olds

4 Old Man Lake - Showed high early speed in all three starts; was flattered when Confederate Recon won next time out.

6 Romar Success - Good looking debut win last July at Hollywood Park; been away since, maybe not a good sign, we'll see.

Long Shot - 2 Luz Atticus

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $53,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

3 Smokey Lonesome - Good looking claim by Ron Ellis; cuts back in distance from route to sprint.

9 Circa'sgoldengear - Sharp win, now bumped up in class; the outside posts are good going down the hillside turf course.

Long Shot - 4 Red Defense

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $47,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Golden Production - Could be a productive day for trainer Ron Ellis; this filly skipped Fairplex to ready for Santa Anita.

9 Saturday Nite Ride - Your edge will be seeing the tote action on some good looking FTS; this one is from the Bob Baffert barn.

Long Shot - 7 Dangerous Forest

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $35,000, Claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

8 My Summer Slew - Has run two strong seconds since claimed by Bill Spawr; runs for a price tag in a money run.

6 Cherokee Heaven - Ran like a short horse off a year hiatus; suspect will be tighter for a better effort tonight.

Long Shot - 9 Half Dome Dude

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Distracting - Looked excellent in debut win for Bob Baffert; problem is she'll be way overbet while facing tougher winners.

8 Big Tiz - Gets class relief from multiple stakes for this; been away since January, has the ability to fire well fresh.

Long Shot - 1 Flashy Dame

Race 9 - 1 1/4 miles (turf), $150,000 John Henry Turf Championship, 3-year-olds and up

9 Bourbon Bay - Neil Drysdale puts time between starts so he'll fire fresh; he runs hard every time out.

6 Turbo Compressor - Fell apart last time at Saratoga; his key is always to get uncontested lead, ask who will go with him.

Long Shot - 1 Grassy

Race 10 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $26,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 King Maya - Didn't run a step in last off a 9-month hiatus; key vote comes from Rafael Bejarano taking the call.

4 Currahee - Another taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; need not be much to contend.

Long Shot - 1 Where's Henry
