2 Bud and Brandy – Taking a big class drop from MSW to maiden claiming; Bobby Troeger taking the blinkers off.

6 Natalie’s Academy – Logical chalk just missed in last going wire to wire; chance to be lone speed in a slow group.

Long Shot – 4 Warren’s Mo Money

Race 2 – 7 furlong, $70,000 Warren’s Thoroughbreds, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

3 You Can Dream – Her 7 lifetime wins is impressive in this field; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.

Long Shot – 4 River Kiss

Race 3 – 7 1/2 furlongs, $125,000 B Thoughtful, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

8 A Jealous Woman – She can either be the speed or sit up close; like the parking lot post in this elongated sprint.

7 Halo Dolly – Chalk is part of a strong uncoupled entry for Jerry Hollendorfer; has excelled on turf and synthetics.

1 Sea John’s Spirit – Has been well bet in both career starts; showed major improvement in her second time out.

Long Shot – 2 Luckyvic

Race 5 – 7 furlongs, $70,000 Grey Memo, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

3 Caffeine High – Second best twice in a row; third start off a 9-month hiatus could be his best.

Race 6 – 1 1/8th miles, $300,000 Melair, Cal-breds, Fillies, 3-year-olds

4 Willa B Awesome – Exits the grade 1 Santa Anita Oaks win over top class foes; this is easier, but no slam dunk either.

3 Streakin’ Mohican – Could be the speed of the speed; claimed by Bill Spawr, expect an aggressive ride by Rafael Bejarano.

7 Inuit Fisher – Lost three close turf sprint races in a row; been away four months, exits a bullet work for this.

Long Shot – 2 My Summer Slew

Race 8 – 1 1/8th miles, $300,000 Snow Chief, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds

8 Dylan Donnelly – Maiden facing winners in a stakes, but this is Mike Mitchell; will be a generous price and deservedly so.

10 Stoney Fleece – Logical chalk has tried open stakes so this offers class relief; will sit in arrears and come flying late.

Race 9 – 7 1/2 furlongs, $125,000 Tiznow, Cal-breds, 4-year-olds and up

Race 10 – 6 1/2 furlongs, $60,000 NTRA, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

6 Night Wind – Tough trip in debut, but gave a good account; John Sadler adding blinkers on and Joel Rosario for the money shot.
