15: Deeper Water (Serrano, Campos)122/15-1

16: Bp Hes Down Southern (Esqueda, Olmstead)122/10-1

MISS RACY CORONA is first-time starter with two blazing bullet drills coming in. CRIMINAL CONNECTIONS improved greatly last out in second start. BE A HERO dueled throughout, but gave in late last race.

6: Fear Fighter (Hamilton, Silva)124/10-1

8: Tavernonthecrow (Hamilton,Berndt)124/2-1

9: Stormy Sailor (Gonzalez, Brinson)124/7-2

BEST OF BLEU'S had troubled journey in return race on the dirt, and comes back switching surfaces for hot trainer/jockey connections. Stablemate LINK will try to lead the field to the wire, but will have lots of company up front. TIGER BY HIS TAIL has encouraging worktab off the long layoff, but I'll take a wait and see approach before I put on top.

4 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $30,000

2: Tamariu (Sanchez, Padilla)118/10-1

4: Ginger Rose (Eikleberry, Silva)124/6-1

5: Causeway's Girl (Lindsay, Silva)118/15-1

6: Glamorized (Butler, Robertson)118/12-1

GINGER ROSE won by over six lengths in her second career start. SUPERSTAR BEA has been right there in her three starts this season, but just hasn't been able to finish the job. COLLEGE QUEEN, TAMIRU, and SETTLE DOWN EILEEN are must use in this closely matched group.

5 7½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500

6: Jeana Baby (Joubert, Hanson)120/5-1

7: Tactical Girl (Hernandez, Rengstorf)120/9-2

BLUES EDGE won last out by multiple lengths on the dirt and now switches surfaces for strong connections. CEE'S JOY is bred well for the turf and distance, and will be making a late run down the stretch. HEY DIDJANOTIS was involved early and led the first half mile last out, before throwing in the towel late.

8: Rhythm Dancer (Velazquez, Bethke)119/10-1

9: Choral Song (Gonzalez, Pfeifer)124/10-1

WHAT'D I MISS has been second past two efforts, and might have found the right group to move up. GARBO ran behind What'd I Miss for the third spot in a much improve effort. MACHI will have dead aim on the front runners, but will have to step it up a notch to get the job done.

7: Sharkzilla (Hernandez, Goodsell)124/10-1

8: Sophisticatedbling (Eikleberry, Silva)124/9-2

Going to need to forgive SOPHISTACATEDBLING last effort on the grass to have a chance. THE TASCOSA KID was bothered early out of the gate, and should give a better account of himself with clean start. MONDAY CONFESSION flattened out on a sloppy track last out against tougher.
