Race 1    Six Half Furlongs Maiden Special

Swiss Charm with two solid morning drills after a respectable debut finishing third looks to improve over this field. Bejarano jumps aboard Warren's Lady with solid fast long works. Bench Beauty by Benchmark looks like a live runner to me. I like the works on Joe Ja trained by Mcfarland. Beware! Do not take her lightly for a win. If Swiss Charm improves then the added distance is ideal for her and the one to fear!

   1. Joe Ja. 2. Warren's Lady  3. Swiss Charm


Race 2    Six Furlongs Maiden Special

The only horse with a race under there belt is Tokubetsu. The son of Congaree ran a respectable race with a modest field his first race. He has worked solid over the dirt and retains Bejarano. The horse I expect will be the favorite. Runflatout a first time starter has excellent pedigree and solid workouts for his debut....... do not take this dude lightly. Another first time starter is Le Mans bred to have speed. It looks like Asmussen has this dude cranked up for a big performance on the outside post......... garden spot for first timers. Midnight Interlude has solid drills and has the pedigree to show speed.




Race 3    One Mile Sixteenth Claimer 12K

Pivotal Queen has not raced since April but looms large if she reel in the speed horse Champagneandlilies! Derby Memo switches barn and takes off the hood for his second dirt race. She won over the dirt at Fairplex but the pace scenario came up light on speed to run at in this low level claimer.

   1. Pivotal Queen 2. Champagneandlilies 3. Derby Memo


Race 4    Six Half  Maiden Claimer 20K

A weak bottom dweller maiden claimer K. Jems trained by Gary Sherlock gets added distance and looks like the horse to fear at the wire. Do not take Hostile Waters lightly in this race. My pick is Guadalupe Lupe!

    1. Guadalupe Lupe  2. Hostile Waters  3. K. Jems

Race 5    Sunshine Million Sprint

   1. Cost Of Freedom  2.  Quick Enough 3.Apriority


Race 6    One Mile Eighth  Sunshine Million Turf


   1. Caracortado

Race 10  Six Half Turf Claimer 32K
