2 Capital Plan – Her turf resume is limited, but her lone sod score was at Santa Anita; like anything Joel Rosario rides.

4 Sweetly Peppered – Suspect will lead or sit coyly on the flank of A Jealous Woman; class relief from the grade 2 Buena Vista.

Long Shot – 3 Hemera

Race 2 – 6 furlongs, Purse $26,000, Claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

3 Quitely Mine – Big rider switch to Joel Rosario for the money shot; ironically replaces Martin Pedroza who he is fueding with.

1 Bluegrass Reward – Mike Mitchell speedball will like the turf rail out 15 feet; expect David Flores to floor the gas pedal.

Long Shot – 6 Golden Beauty

Race 4 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $30,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 Admission – Facing a moribund group, only reason for his morning line favoritism; need not be much to compete.

5 Myhorseofcourse – Not a lick of early speed, but has closed well at times; first time gelding, that’s a difference maker.

Long Shot – 1 Take No Prisoners

Race 5 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $35,000, Maiden claiming $75,000, 3-year-olds

Race 6 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Race 7 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $58,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

9 Valley Cat – In a wide open race, Rafael Bejarano seems to carve out the best trip; should be flying fast late.
