Race 1 – 1 Mile CLM 3,200
#4 Askin’ For Trouble (3/1) could have an early pace advantage under Juan Hernandez. Stayed on for 2nd last out for Isidro Tamayo and won at this level in wire to wire fashion back in February.
#5 Unusually Green (9/5) drops in class for Jonathan Wong. The 9 year old won at this level three races back and followed with a victory at 4K claiming.
#7 My Friend George (5/2) closed from well off the pace to finish 3rd as a beaten favorite last out at this level. Monroy should have this one rolling late.
4-5-7
Race 2 – 1 Mile CLM 6,250
#3 Deepingreen (9/5) won under these conditions on May 30th, regular rider Frank Alvarado aboard. Should not be too far off the pace.
#1 Dirt Road Red (8/5) defeated Deepingreen when they faced each other back in March. Could benefit from most of these runners liking to be up close early. Monroy could be passing them all late.
#4 Aero Street (9/2) finished 2nd last out in the first start against winners. Brayan Pena back up after riding in the maiden win.
3-1-4
Race 3 – 6F CLM 4,000
#3 Sarah’s Smirk (6/5) ran a tough 2nd last out. Has good early speed and could be alone up front. This Isidro Tamayo runner will be tough to pass late.
#2 Please Zip It (9/2) broke the maiden from just off the pace last out. Kyle Frey rides for trainer Manuel Badilla. Has a couple good works coming in, similar to before the win last race.
#7 Secretly Paranoid (3/1) hung in the lane and finished 3rd last out. Getting the extra furlong today could help.
3-2-7
Race 4 – 6F STR ALW
#4 Littlebitamedal (Even) has back to back 2nd place finishes. Rico Gonzalez and Steve Sherman combination has won 3 straight races. Should be able to sit a good trip just off the pace and will be tough to beat.
#5 Satanta (7/2) ships in from Southern California for trainer Victor Trujillo first off the claim. Kyle Frey has been hot this week and could have this one rolling down the stretch.
#3 Violent Behavior (4/1) has only one win and six 2nd place finishes from 16 career starts. Three and four races back finished 2nd against similar. Could be around late.
4-5-3
Race 5 – 5F MSW 30,000
#7 Sale Y Vale (9/2) is one of two Blaine Wright first time starters. Has been working with Colavito with very similar times. David Lopez has a couple wins on 2 year olds this week so like the odds here.
#2 Colavito (2/1) is another first time starter for trainer Blaine Wright and jockey Juan Hernandez. Good works coming in.
#1 Mando (3/1) finished 2nd in the debut after pressing the pace. Expect to be sent to the front early from the inside post, Catalino Martinez aboard.
7-2-1
Race 6 – 1 1/16 Miles (Turf) STR ALW
#1 Willing To Burn (2/1) finished 2nd ahead of Way to Fire last out. This Jonathan Wong (30%) runner could improve with the extra distance.
#5 Augure (3/1) won last out back in March from just off the pace. Was claimed from Jonathan Wong by Eduardo Rich and now tries the Golden Gate Fields turf for the first time.
#7 Way To Fire (4/1) finished 3rd in the turf debut last out. Steve Specht is 2/5 (40%) on 2nd time turf runners.
1-5-7
Race 7 – 6F CLM 20,000
#6 Unchaining Melody (6/1) comes in with back to back wins under Frank Alvarado for Tim McCanna. Could benefit from a fast early pace and circle the field yet again.
#5 Bounty of Gold (8/1) steps up in class after winning in wire to wire fashion last out. Has shown some versatility and can sit just off a hot pace situation. Like at a price with Rico Gonzalez aboard.
#2 Be Lifted Up (4/1) ships in from Southern California off the claim from O J Jauregui. Has not raced since October but worth a look with Juan Hernandez up.
6-5-2
Race 8 – 5F (Turf) CLM 20,000
#8 Indian Zip (7/2) drops in class and cuts back in distance for trainer Samuel Calvario. Has good early speed and could get away from this field. Won the lone turf start.
#4 Argosy Fleet (9/2) has been in the money in 7 of the last 8 starts including 3 wins. Always seems to be around late, regular rider Catalino Martinez up.
#2 My Friend Tony (3/1) ran into some traffic and just missed last out behind Argosy Fleet. Isidro Tamayo and Juan Hernandez have been a tough combo lately (33%)
8-4-2
Race 9 – 1 Mile CLM 3,200
#3 Papa Do Run (8/5) drops in class and has a big early speed advantage. Juan Espinoza should find the lead, not sure any of these will be in striking range late.
#2 Classic Champ (4/1) closed for a win under similar conditions last out. Should be the main danger to Papa Do Run late. Frank Alvarado aboard this Ed Moger runner.
#9 Munnycantbuymelove (12/1) has been in the money 10/17 lifetime with just 1 win. Drops in class and could be picking up the pieces late.
