TRACK BIAS
Polytrack: Favored stalkers and closers at all distances.
Turf sprints: Fair
Turf routes: Favored closers.
HORSE TO WATCH
7th LUNAR MIST is a very promising filly for Chris Block. She was rank from the beginning, rated behind the leaders in 3rd, moved quickly to the lead despite veering in badly. Once straight she bounded clear. Her breeding and way of going indicate that she should love a route of ground.

#11 MOJITO MAN tracked #9 BULLET FROM ABROAD early, looked that one in the eye at the quarter pole and took the lead. He held a clear lead to the wire. 'ABROAD was able to hold on for the place. #7 BROOKS STAR rated in 4th, came out and finished well for 3rd.

The turf course had favored closers but not this time. Favored #1 TAZZ took the early lead but was soon headed by #4 AGNOSTIC. The latter opened a lead in the lane and held on tenaciously for the win. #1 TAZZ held on for 2nd but could not stay with the winner. #3 WEGGIE rated in 5th on the rail, gained steadily down the lane to get 3rd.

RACE 11
2 WHO LET THE CAT IN
Honest 5yo has yet to finish out of the money in 2009 for trainer Richard Scherer while winning 5 of 9 starts. Is well managed allowing for top efforts each race and, although all have come on the dirt, he can score sprinting on the turf today with Razo up.
3 HAPMAN
Toss his last after a poor break but he posted a game second and a win in his previous two starts, both sprinting over this course. Positive rider change today and certainly can prove a factor.
9 BULLET FROM ABROAD
5yo is a perfect 3 for 3 sprinting on the turf here since moving to the barn of Mike Dini, all while facing quality company. Meets a lot of other speed today but still must be considered the main threat.
11 MOJITO MAN
Ran a big race when stepped up to face a 2nd tier allowance field at this distance. He set a fast pace and held well for the place. Strong contender with the move back into a starters allowance.

1 TAZZ
3yo has done little wrong for trainer Christine Janks, finishing worse then second only once while winning 2 of 5. Beaten a neck under these same conditions last out but can return to the winner's circle with blinkers off and Emigh riding.
4 AGNOSTIC
3yo was purchased privately since his last start and is now in the Catalano barn. The Cat Man does even better with private acquisitions than he does with new claims. Covered the final quarter in :22 4/5 over this course two starts back.
6 EAT N RUN
4yo ran well on the turf here last summer and returned from a year absence in late July to score back to back wins for Neil Pessin. Can take another step forward today in that crucial third start back.
8 FULL FLAME
3yo has continued to improve since stretching out on the turf here this summer and turned in a career best last out despite missing by 3/4 length. Back at the same conditions today and a major player with Alvarado.

RACE 9
2 EIGHTEENTHOFMARCH
5yo was claimed by Catalano following a game win at a level lower. The Cat Man wins at a rather amazing 55% clip when raising his new acquisitions in class. Recorded his career best over this turf course as a 3yo.
3 JONI’S JUSTICE
6yo posted a career best around two turns on the turf this spring while in the barn of Hugh Robertson then continued to run well all summer, winning stake in July at Canterbury. He can prove a factor here at a good price.
6 PISTOL PETE AFLEET
4yo colt has been a consistent performer the past two years on the synthetic surfaces in California but also showed ability on the turf last fall. He makes his first start today for Daniel Smithwick, who excels with new acquisitions and is the choice for the win back on the grass.
8 KING OF SPEED
10yo is still going strong for trainer Bret Calhoun and, although has made only two starts on the turf since end of last year, he has won both including over this course last out for this same tag. Razo stays and must respect.

Although the race came off the grass here last out this filly still turned in her best effort, finishing a game second in her first start since moving to the Canani barn. Sharp work since and a major player today with Baird back.
5 SPUNKY MONKEY
Forest Danger filly debuts sprinting on the turf for trainer Michael Stidham who hits over 20% with first time starters. Has shown plenty of ability in the morning and merits respect with Castanon riding.
7 BESITOS
2yo Greatness filly makes her career debut today for trainer Raja Malek and was also bred by her owners Edward, Krista and Amy Seltzer. Filly makes her first trip to the post sprinting on the turf and, although the barn has had a limited amount of first time starters this year, they are at their best with horses running on the grass. This filly has the breeding to excel at the 5F distance on the grass and the barn has prepared her well with a steady work tab in which she has also shown ability. Graham aboard is only a positive sign that she is well meant.

Moved to allowance company here last out in his first start since moving to the barn of Wayne Catalano and, despite stumbling at the break, he still beat over half the field. Bullet drill since and, with the turn back to 5F and Castanon up, is the one to beat.

Trainer Emmagene Schwan is definitely having one of her best meets here this year and has given this filly plenty of time to regroup. She just posted a sharp 5F work on 9-17. She’s the choice to earn her diploma this time around taking that big drop from MSW to maiden claiming. This barn has won with 2 of the last 4 horses making this move. Campbell has the return call.
