9: I Put It On Ya (Torres, Charette-Hill)127/4-1
FIRST OF 15 got her first win of the year last out and is capable of another step forward. Ms HAULIN CHIC has been runner-up past three races. CARNEROS has consecutive wins at this short distance.

9: Lynne T (Loveberry, Rengstorf)123/9-2
10: Nariz Canela (Mawing, Rengstorf)120/3-1
LYNNE T had troubled trip last out in lone turf start and should bring early zip to the game with clean journey. NARIZ CANELA returns to the grass after failing to fire on the sloppy off track last race. Should be doing better running late. STELLA SWEEPER could catch a gear late in the game and should be compromised by fast pace.
4 6½ furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $32,000.

6: Cowboy Creed (Eikleberry, Litfin)120/5-2
7: Northcut (Mawing, Danger)120/8-1
COWBOY CREED's speed numbers tower over the field but hasn't enjoyed a win in over a year. Bet at your own risk. C DUB moved away with every stride on the lead last out and is the one to catch to get the win. GOTTA GO and NORTHCUT are my price plays to slip in for the minor awards.

10: Shot of Wine (Meche, Backhaus)123/8-1
11: Morning Report (Hernandez, W'mann)123/9-2
WILD MUNNY was impressive winner in lone start as the heavy favorite and still has room for development. MORNING REPORT will loom the late closing threat from the outside post. PAPA'S ISLA DOLL will challenge top pick from the start and was a winner two back in front-running fashion.

9: Hanalei Sun (Eikleberry, Berndt)120/8-1
10: Skat Happens (Meche, McKinley)123/10-1
KANDY SWEEP must dial it up with the drop in class and should close late with contested fractions in front of her. WILD DESIRE will be forwardly placed and too drops to face softer. Winner two back from off the pace. Have to run down GREATEST GAL to get the victory.

7: Red Pants (Lindsay, Davis)120/5-2
8: Factory Made (Goncalves, Lund)120/12-1
9: Trevor's Call (Gonzalez, Williams)123/4-1
RED PANTS was off his game on the dirt but came back with eye-popping win on the grass last out. Does best running from stalking position. ENGLISH RANSOM got the win last out, moving away with every stride to a multiple-length victory. Should be a generous price when gates open. JERF and TREVOR'S CALL are major players and will vie for command up front.

8: Nobutzaboutit (Eikleberry, Sharp)123/7-2
9: Welldidyougetit (Lindsay, Metz)123/5-1
SPIRE drops for over half the price and will be involved from the bell with top jockey aboard. NO NO ITCH will exhibit early speed from the rail position and is eligible to turn it around if goes unchallenged. NOBUTZABOUTIT has been training sharply with a strong series of works for his return.

8: United Patriot (Keith, Biehler)123/12-1
BLUE HARBOR beat a few of these rivals last out and is the one to beat with his strong closing kick. GLACKEN'S GHOST and TOP OF THE PAGE filled up the trifecta ticket behind Blue Harbor and are looking forward to a revenge match. Both will be doing their better running late.
