There are six scratches on the 7-race card that begins at 6:00 p.m. Pacific.

Race 1: (5) Next Otis

Race 2: (1) Hard Rain, (4) Buckshot Annie, (9) Kindergartengrader

Race 4: (4) Ace of Diamonds

Race 6: (7) Handsome Chef

The feature is a third-level allowance race with a $25,000 claiming option, although none of the horses entered in the 1 1/16 miles race are in for the price. It goes as Race 4 with six starters.

I give a big chance to (2) Smart Deal, 6-1 on the morning-line. He had a troubled trip the only time he went around three turns and he is coming off a decent effort in his latest sprint. There is a lot of speed in the field and he could pick up the pieces if things fall his way.

The track is fast and the weather is hazy due to smoke from forest fires in the area.
