Cal Expo has a 10-race card. The 0.20 Pick 5 with a $20,000 guaranteed pool rolls in Race 1. The 0.20 Late Pick 4 has a $25,000 guaranteed pool. The sequence starts in Race 7, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 8:45 PM PDT)

1-Better Style (6-1)-The last 2 at this level have been better but can't seal the deal. Is worth a swing at the morning line price with James Kennedy at the controls.
2-Albergo Hanover (4-1)-This is the 2nd start off a sick scratch, stayed inside last time and came 3rd. Should get a cozy trip, and this is the level that a picture could happen.
7-Robbie Burns N (2-1)-The post draw could make this more of a challenge, but recent form suggests it might not matter at all. Luke Plano will leave to get a good seat but doesn't need to lead every step of the way to win.

Race 8 (9:05 PDT)

5-KB Mac (8/5)-Has only 3 wins in the last 41 starts and is only 1 for 10 at CalX. So, not loving the short morning line, but best to not overlook. Should get an efficient trip and be in the hunt at the wire.
6-Winwood Jack (9/2)-Stayed inside and beat cheaper. Steps up but isn't out of place and Kennedy should have in play early in the mile. The price should be right in a race without a standout.

Race 9 (9:25 PDT)

2-Fox Valley Sidecar (4-1)-Comes off a game effort but faded after a 1st over rally. Faces many of the same and should be a main player with a smooth trip.
4-Cease Fire (4-1)-Faded badly after a bumpy trip and now makes a barn change. Can offer a solid price and could get on the engine without burning much gas this time. Will look for the 5-year-old to wake up off a better trip.
7-Cal's Hope (6-1)-Finished willingly but was jammed up and didn't hit the board. This is another who hates to win but Plano could leave and be in range turning for the wire. Not much form with this soft group and the price should be right to take a swing.

Race 10 (9:45 PDT)

1-Treasure Horizon (3-1)-Drops, draws the rail, and gets a ++ driver change in Plano. Likes to race at the top of the stack, might leave and not look back.
2-Another Tuff Woman (9/2)-This mare also gets a ++ driver change in Nick Roland. Hasn't been in this soft all meet and has won 4 of 17 at CalX. Should offer a square price and the morning line chalk #3 Made of Misschief looks beatable.

0.60 Late Pick 4

1,2,7/5,6/2,4,7/1,2
