RACE 2

A starter allowance down the hill on the turf....This group have won there maiden race....and that`s it!  Candy And Thunder finished second at this level in her last start. A player! Blue Samurai adds the blinkers for Mulhall...... She looks overdue as Rosario rides her. Warren`s Goldie looks spotted to run a big race after she cuts back to a sprint. Laura`s Pleasure looks like she is running into racing shape......she has a touch of back class racing with much better company.....Her third start after a very long layoff.

               1.  California Heat

               2.  Laura's Pleasure

               3.  Warren`s Goldie....Bejarano re-rides

RACE 3

A seven furlong 40 G claiming race for four year olds. A salty cast of characters in this small field. The speed looks to be Sir Hamilton on the rail. I expect Smith will send him early to clear the rail. He is better sprinting on this surface.... a major player. Palio Prince claimed for 32 G`s is out of jail. Bill S hikes him up to the 40 K level......a very good sign to see......Rosario rides this mid pack closer. I have always like EZ Led who comes back home....He should love this distance...First Strike gets back to this track....He has tactical speed...... He likes this track.... a player in a wide open race.

            1. Palio Prince.....first off the claim

            2. First Strike....route to sprint play

            3. E Z Led

            Speed horse Sir Hamilton

RACE 8

Allowance race sprinting on the main track for three year old fillies. Baffert holds the ace of hearts as he sends out two talented fillies. Contested and Tiz The Tide...... Baffert is good off the bench.....as we have seen with Tiz The Tide.....Contested won a smoking good maiden race at Hollywood in October....She has fast ultra drills.... Tiz The Tide is sharp after her maiden win.... a key maiden race where a number of fillies have come out of that race and won....Hidden Passion had to need her last start....She might be overlooked..... She warrants respect here...... do not just dismiss her.

             1. Contested

             2. Tiz The Tide

             3. Hidden Passion

RACE 9

A Cal-Bred maiden special weight race on the turf at the distance of one mile ends this week of racing.... The logical winner is Dylan Donnelly.....gets back on the turf after three straight seconds...All systems are a go except the very short price. Is he a classic hanger or will he break thru to the other side. The pace sets up for a mid pack closer like Dylan..... The Unusual One and Lethal Intend will press a fast pace.... both might and I say might meltdown in a dual.....if one goes to the lead and the other stalks then one of these two has a good shot to win. The blinkers go on Jonny Choice....a closer that was third behind Dylan..... Flying Jib trained by Cassidy was my pick in her debut.....He ran like a horse that was short.....look who rides this double digit odds horse.....Mike Smith.....do not sell short this one who did not like the down the hill course....

             1. Dylan........times a changin

             2. Flying Jib......turns it around
