7 Warren’s Peacock – Exits the Cliff Sise barn, which gave up training for now; huge class drop points her out.

2 Takethemoneyandrun – Another taking a huge class drop just before the Del Mar meet; expect improvement.

Race 3 – 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $57,200, Allowance, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Sparkling Style – Sensational looking debut win; not sure what she beat, but was visually impressive.

3 Screaming Regal – Has a lot more experience than the chalk; dead-late closer will find her best stride late.

Race 4 – 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $38,500, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 The Whammer – Mike Mitchell hasn’t won a race in a day or two; can sit a trip and stalk a major speed duel.

Long Shot – 8 Dapper Gene

Race 5 – 5 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

5 Blind Magic – Choice for forgiving handicappers; his races two and three back are fast enough to upset these.

8 Naturaliste – Logical chalk ran an OK grinding second in last; has tactical speed to attend the early pace.

Long Shot – 4 Party Ruler

Race 6 – 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $35,200, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Bab At The Bowster – Huge class drop gives her a tiny edge; she will not find an easier spot to win in SoCal.

Long Shot – 1 Attar of Rose

Race 7 – 6 furlongs, Purse $55,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

1 Righteous Renee – Last seen ambitiously placed in the Debutante at Del Mar; returns in a much easier spot.

3 Glamorista – Bob Baffert babies are firing left and right; watch the tote board for additional clues.

Long Shot – 8 Valeria

Race 8 – 1 mile (turf), $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Harmonius – Grade 1 filly returns for an ambitious summer campaign; has run well muliple times off a layoff.

Long Shot – 5 Givine

Race 9 – 5 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

11 Shane Daniel – Favorite by default in this very slow group; big class drop, it is now or never time.

5 Onebadboy – Typical green debut, slow early, fast late; big rider switch to David Flores for the money shot.

Long Shot – 7 Brother Ernie

Best Bet – 2 Harmonius (race 8)
