6: Broken Aero (Rivera, Sweere)119/6-1

7: Powers Ofthe Court (Escobar, Brueggemann)121/7-2

COWBOY LUKE has showed improved positional speed and will get first attack on front runner; usually gets a share. POWERS OFTHE COURT won three back at this distance and will be gathering up late, especially if speed falters. HAITIAN HERO stretches out for two-turn race and exits a nice closing victory at 5½ furlongs.

5: Bobble Doit (Butler, Rhone)123/3-1

6: Perfect Ablation (Rivera, Scherer)123/6-1

BOBBLE DOIT seems to be progressing in the right path. Just missed last out closing from mid-pack for tough Rhone/Butler team. TWO LEFT SHOES ran decent last out in track debut closing four wide but came up shy of hitting the board. Needs to maintain present form to be a factor. BOREALIS WAY has been making a nice living hitting the board in all seven starts, including two wins.

7: Scotts Gap (Stevens, Burgess)123/3-1

8: Bear Island (Velazquez, Wekseth)123/10-1

SCOTTS GAP won at this level and distance last out as the chalk and is a strong candidate to get consecutive victories today. HARD NOSED was runner-up last out in improved performance and is a major player today with bullet drill in training six days ago. CASH CALL AL was hung-out to dry in upper stretch but deserves another chance. Has couple of victories in past six starts.

7: Musical Deputy (Von Rosen, Lund)123/15-1

8: Sue's Stormy (Martin, Rengstorf)123/3-1

SUE'S STORMY has class edge over field dropping in from allowance race victory. Likes to sit back before making final threatening move on the takeover. APPEALS THE DEAL came out smokin', drawing away from the field to over six-length margin victory and should be lonely on the front today as lone speed. KNOW NO SOMERSET and QUOTE TO CASH are strong considerations for minor awards.

8: Harley Man (Hernandez, Pfeifer)118/12-1

9: Holiday Flight (Bell, Johnson)119/8-1

10: Gadzooks (Eikleberry, Silva)119/8-1

BARCELONA KID should enjoy cutting back one-half furlong after having the lead before losing it late, landing second. RESIST drops in class off the turf and does have good early speed to press the pace with HOF jockey Stevens as the pilot. SLEEP WALKING came up short in back-to-back place finishes who enjoys running late picking up the pieces.

6: Raising Dakota (Garcia, McCauley)116/8-1

7: Kissmeimdanish (Bell, Lund)116/8-1

8: American Sugar (Lebron, McPeek)116/6-1

KISSMEIMDANISH turf debut was a dominating performance drawing away from the field to eight length win. Love seeing Bell getting the ride today in the big race who will have his work cut out at a expected huge price. EDEN PRAIRIE comes in off a couple of Grade 3 runnings in Kentucky who will be flying out of the gate and the one to catch coming off the rail. I'M ALREADY SEXY and STOUPINATOR exit the same turf sprint at Arlington Park where I'm Already Sexy won in a dead heat.

8: Chairman Crooks (Butler, Rengstorf)120/6-1

9: Pure Surprize (Joubert, Hanson)120/10-1

In what could be a two-horse battle with shippers GENERAL JACK and MY CORINTHIAN, I'll give the nod to General Jack, who after a horrible rough starts, rushed up to miss the win by a half-length, making quite the splash in debut. My Corinthian is the one to catch and is all speed. Won turf debut three back with Luis Garcia aboard, who rides today. RUMBAUER and CHAIRMAN CROOKS will be my price plays for the local angle.

7: Red Zeus (Canchari, McFarlane)120/6-1

8: Officer Alex (Goncalves, Whiting)116/9-2

DORSETT is the deserving favorite for the big race today for owner/trainer/jockey trio, who won this race last year with Hammers Terror. Colt exits a couple of fine running stalking performances in Graded 3 races. COASTAL BREEZE runs best on the lead who has consecutive wins entering but on the main polytrack at Arlington Park. Synthetic runners for the most part transfer well to the lawn. KALE'S KOURAGE tries the turf experiment today which is a strong angle for trainer Kelly Von Hemel.

8: Eyeofahero (Luark, Blair)124/6-1

Trainer Charette-Hill seeks to get the exacta with DIGTHISWAGON and REGARDS TO BROADWAY. Give slight nod to DIGTHISWAGON, who looks to be a dangerous shipper from Remington with top jockey Torres aboard. SUMMIT BID was second best last out as the favorite.

6: Firewatered Bugwinkl (Von Rosen, Hanson)122/6-1

7: Dirt Road Queen (Suarez Ricardo, Hanson)122/7-2

LITTLE BIT BRANDY gets softer field and ran respectably in his two lone starts. DIRT ROAD QUEEN gave a solid effort in lone start to grab show money. FURYS SOL and JUSTA BUMP are first-time starters who have the ideal field to begin their career.
