Race 1 – 1 mile, Purse $23,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

2 Tripped the Light – Was a fast closing second in last in a paceless race; there should be more action on the front end today.

5 Katy’s Kitty – Big class drop offers her a much better shot in here; good tactical speed to sit a nice trip throughout.

Long Shot – 4 Party With Brando

2 Woebegon – Speedy sort tries turf and the hillside course for the first time; handles synthetics fine, should be OK on grass.

5 Indigo River – Dangerous foe makes her U.S. debut for Jeff Mullins; Joel Rosario will sit in arrears and fire fast late.

Long Shot – 1 Indecise

Race 3 – 1 mile, Purse $21,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds

2 Orbach – Has solid dirt form and drops in class where he won two races ago; like the reunion with Rafael Bejarano.

6 Star Dance M D – Has started tardy his last two races making life difficult; he fits with these if he leaves from the gate.

Long Shot – 1 King Cola

Race 4 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

11 Just Meteor – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; has good early speed to attend the pace.

Race 5 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 3-year-olds

7 She Spirit di Su – This is an interesting English invader; she chased Farraaj in last who ran so well in the Breeders’ Cup.

8 La Malaguena – Key vote is Joel Rosario exiting others to ride her for Neil Drysdale; the tote board action could show the way.

Long Shot – 10 My Sweet Candy

Race 6 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $21,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds and up

7 Long Lake Krista – Speedball will relish the turf rail out 24 feet; Rafael Bejarano will put her on the engine from the get go.

8 Talktoomuch – This is a good earner but could be up against it on the cut back in distance; a mile seems like his best.

Long Shot – 3 Whisper Louise

Race 8 – 6 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up
