9: Be Real Quiet (Arroyo, McFadden)124/20-1
10: Joker's Mischief (Velazquez, Miller)119/9-2
JOKER'S MISCHIEF ran in holding pattern last out, settling for the third spot. Flattered when runners in front of him came right back to win next time out. Concern, barn still looking for first win. MOONLIGHT TA KELA was runner-up as the favorite last effort. Will draw money at the window because of connections. TEKELA'S GLORY too ran in merry-go-fashion last out, earning the silver medal.
2 Brooks Fields Stakes. 1 mile on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Purse: $50,000.

7: Malibu Pro (Loveberry, Robertson)117/7-2
8: Aces High (A. Canchari, Heitzmann)119/6-1
9: Majestic Pride (Hamilton, Robertson)119/2-1
HAY DAKOTA is a confirmed closer, and should benefit from dazzling fractions with a ground -saving rail trip, in search of capturing the Brooks Fields Stakes. MAJESTIC PRIDE brings plenty of speed to the race, and is the one to beat as the probable post-time favorite. Has finished in the top two spots in past eight starts. WAY STRIKING will be pounding the hoofs with Majestic Pride on the lead. Training smartly off the two-month layoff. MALIBU PRO looks tough to beat if race is taken off-the-turf.

12: Ms. Bubbette (Mojica, Jr., Bravo)119/8-1
13: Wealthy Shipman (Cannon, Granitz)117/8-1
Wide open Minnesota H.B.P.A. Distaff Stakes. SEEKING PARADISE faced much tougher in turf sprint last out at Saratoga, and has tightened the screws with a couple of solid works under trainer Joe Sharp. Be rude not to take a shot at a generous price. ONE LAST SHOT stretches out to longest distance in two years, but comes in off impressive allowance victory at Delaware Park. Filly seducing top jockey to ride, doesn't hurt. PAINT THE CORNERS won last out at Indiana Downs off the 8-month layoff. Capable in this spot, second off the layoff. MS. BUBBETTE shouldn't be overlooked, coming in with back-to-back wins.

10: Jack Snipe's (Goodwin, Scherer)116/15-1
11: Hot Shot Kid (A. Canchari, Robertson)122/9-2
Very solid group for the $200,000 Mystic Lake Derby. Going to take a shot with Ellis Park runner SAKONNET, M/L odds of 8-1. Impressive win last out, exploding through rivals, after suffering major traffic problems down the stretch. Brings up veteran jockey Santo Sanjur for the journey. Local favorite HOT SHOT KID, has done nothing wrong in past five starts. Problem is, five wins have been on the dirt, including the MN Derby. Did have practice run last week on the turf, and seemed to switch surfaces without a problem. GIANT PAYDAY is another Ellis Park runner, coming into new surroundings with a eye-popping win. Swooped five wide on snappy fractions, to get up just in time for the win. MY BARILEY will be a generous price, and not one to leave off your ticket with Jareth Loveberry aboard.

9: Mines Made Up (Velazquez, Berndt)120/9-2
10: Bear's Big Boy (Sanchez, Broberg)124/12-1
DUKE OF LUKE comes in with three-game winning streak and hasn't run a bad race this summer. Much respect for this gelding. GUSKA MON SHOES came up short last out versus Duke of Luke, and looks for revenge. Will come rolling late from mid-pack. NOTIMEFORTHAT projects to save ground in stalking position with inside draw for strong connections.

12: Cougar Creek (Goodwin, Brinson)120/8-1
FREE AND PROUD tries the Canterbury surface, shipping in from Iowa with two wins in the past three starts. Confidence coming in, and lures Loveberry to ride. BEAUTIFUL BIRD didn't disgrace herself at Prairie Meadows this summer, but hasn't got a win either. Skinny shares is what she does best, so use underneath. SILKY LADY won last out after a heads-up ride by Orlando Mojica. No reason not to keep moving forward.

10: Nik Nak Paddy Wak (Mojica, Sterling, Jr.)120/12-1
11: Courtney's Hero (Sanchez, Rhone)120/6-1
COURTNEY's HERO won by nearly seven lengths last out, and breaking his maiden. Putting on top off that effort. KEATS CORNER drops for over half the price, and should sit in the wind tunnel behind wall of speed. DAKOTAROAN is the one to catch to get the win. Eligible to win with clean start and going unchallenged.

9: Bubble Time (Velazquez, Berndt)124/9-2
10: Vita Luna (Delorme, Weidner)124/20-1
BUBBLE TIME has early speed and drops for half the price. Facing softer field, could give the mare her first career win. CREATIVE DOUX is another class dropper in hopes of turning things around. Been on the shelf for a couple of months, but has multiple spruced up workouts. ENDLESS BLOOM is usually hanging around, but hasn't got it done in 17 starts. Tough to put on top with that record.

7: Sophias Big Girl (Hamilton, Ashauer)124/10-1
8: Spell Winder (Loveberry, Donlin)124/5-2
SEDONA SKY is allowance and distance dropper. Won three back at this distance facing much stronger. SPELL WINDER is a tactical runner, and draws ideal outside post, to track inside speed and pounce. RODEOACTIVE won last out around two turns in allowance race. Major player.
