Race 1

Maiden · 350 yd · Dirt

A wide-open 350-yard maiden sprint with first-time starters across the board — raw talent and TrackWiz ratings are the primary separators in what figures to be a chaotic opener.

win1Rrun Up the ScoreML 3/1

Rrun Up the Score draws the rail in post 1 and tops our TrackWiz ratings at 87.08 — a significant margin over the rest of this maiden field. Esgar Ramirez gets the call for trainer Vilma I. De La Cruz, and the morning line of 3/1 reflects the oddsmaker's confidence as well. In a short 350-yard dash where there's no time to make up ground, breaking clean from the inside with the top rating is a strong combination.

place2Fly Yulla YullaML 7/2

Fly Yulla Yulla rates second in this field at 78.28 and goes postward at a fair 7/2 morning line under Alfredo Sigala for trainer Gene C. Garcia. The nearly 9-point rating gap between her and the next tier of horses suggests she's a legitimate contender to hit the board if the top choice falters.

show4Alota DashML 9/2

Alota Dash (9/2) slots in at a TrackWiz rating of 57.08, a notable step above the muddled middle of this maiden field. Jose Luis Enriquez rides for trainer Taurino Gutierrez, and at nearly 5-to-1 morning line odds, she offers solid exotic value as a third wheel in trifecta and superfecta tickets.

Race 2

Maiden · 870 yd · Dirt

Two horses — Nap and The Tomahawk — separate themselves clearly from the rest of this 870-yard maiden field, setting up what looks like a two-horse race with one intriguing mid-pack contender.

win7NapML 3/1

Nap tops the TrackWiz ratings at 86.15 and posted an average speed figure of 55 — one of the better marks in this maiden field. Christian Ramos picks up the mount for trainer Sherry Armstrong, an experienced pairing for a horse that figures to be forwardly placed over the longer 870-yard distance. At 3/1 on the morning line, the value is fair for what looks like the class of the field.

place1The TomahawkML 9/2

The Tomahawk rates a strong 84.9 — just a whisker below Nap — and goes off at 9/2 with Francisco Zamora in the irons for trainer Adam Archuleta. The close ratings gap between the top two makes this a race where the exacta box is worth serious consideration, and The Tomahawk's morning line price gives you slightly better value on the place end.

show3Jaimes PaydayML 6/1

Jaimes Payday (6/1) rates at 56.79, a comfortable distance above the rest of the field below him. Cerapio Figueroa rides for trainer Paul Sedillo, and at 6-to-1 morning line odds this horse gives you a realistic shot at completing the exacta from underneath or anchoring a trifecta at a workable price.

Race 3

Allowance · 400 yd · Dirt

This 400-yard allowance features a legitimate top contender in London Lights, but a handful of horses with solid career win percentages make this more competitive than the top rating suggests.

win9London LightsML 7/2

London Lights owns the top TrackWiz rating in the field at 86.35 and carries a 28% career win percentage — a strong foundation for an allowance runner. Joseph Belloc Jr. gets the mount for trainer Sebastian Gonzales, and the 7/2 morning line actually represents a bit of value given how much he separates from the field on our numbers. At 400 yards this is a pure speed play, and London Lights looks like the one to beat.

place7Jo BossML 9/2

Jo Boss rates at 71.97 with a 27% career win percentage — the second-best career win rate among the top contenders. Alfredo Sigala rides for trainer Anthony Montoya, and at 9/2 on the morning line, Jo Boss is the most logical horse to land on the board if London Lights gets into any kind of trouble at the break.

show10Pitchins Train BML 5/2

Pitchins Train B draws attention at 5/2 morning line despite a rating of 66.98 — suggesting the public is higher on this one than our numbers. Gabriel Medrano rides for trainer Jaime Dominguez, and the 18% career win percentage backs up the optimism. At that price, the show position is a hedge worth taking in exotics.
