Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Runningwiththelute - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; Aaron Gryder has a few live mounts today.

5 Warren’s Tricia R. - Consistent sort gets the hot riding bugboy Drayden Van Dyke to take 5-pounds off; he’s improving daily.

Long Shot - 4 She’s a Given

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Starter allowance $12,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

4 Eltoninadress - Claimed by Steve Miyadi off a sharp win; this is a nice spot for a repeat as she’ll be favored again.

Long Shot - 3 Ya Wanna Hug

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 Marv - Been away 7-months, but cashed a lot of paychecks at this bottom maiden class rung; Saul Arias is fine, will help the price.

6 Royal Stack - Been away almost two years; key is a leap of faith in trainer Peter Miller, adding blinkers on for this.

Long Shot - 9 Fast Mast

4 Paps’s Dancing - Takes a huge class drop to the maiden claiming $30K; ran once for this level and ran a decent third.

3 Swiss Perfection - Sliding down the maiden claiming to this career low class; need not be much horse to compete with these.

Long Shot - 7 Bold Decision

Race 5 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

3 Wacky Miss - Sliding down the maiden claiming ladder to this career low class; good to see Saul Arias with more than one live mount today.

Long Shot - 8 Wackett

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

7 Musical Arts - Ron Ellis hasn’t started many this meet, but they all fired; properly placed for a potential win at very short odds.

1 Versye - Doug O’Neill shoving this filly down our throats with a deep class drop; she looks like she could win for fun if right.

Long Shot - 2 Miss American Pie

Race 7 - 1 mile, Purse $17,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 Goyan - Woke up last time with a career best effort; claimed by Carl O’Callaghan, can win this on OPT, other people’s training.

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

10 Senator Bob - Gritty win last time in a head bob finish; logical chalk, is not nearly consistent enough to solo in here.

4 Octane - Was given a tightener in last off a 2-year hiatus; like the rider switch to Ramon Guce for the money shot.

Long Shot - 1 Unstopper Topper

Best Bet - 7 Musical Arts (race 6)
