6: Two Steps Before (Escobar, Rhone)124/6-1
7: Chasensummerstorms (Lindsay, Silva)124/8-1
SMARTY PARTY PAPA drops for half his value, after weakening badly last out. Winner two back in gate-to-wire fashion. SOPHISTICATEDBLING is early speed type, and was very game in defeat last race. PERFECT MAJESTIC could make some noise early, but must dial it up in the later stages to have a shot.
4 1 Mile. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $15,000. Purse: $14,000

6: Formidable Force (Goncalves, Bravo)124/3-1
7: Courtney's Hero (Eikleberry, Rhone)124/10-1
FEAR FIGHTER switches surfaces with the plunge in class. Last win was on a sloppy surface, so rate higher if track is wet. HATTAWAY BIG FELLA drops for half the price on the stretch-out. Should be in the hunt from the start. DARRENATOR has tactical foot to put him on or near the lead with Butler aboard. Out-finished last out, after being on the lead most the way.
5 About 1 Mile 70 Yards. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500

8: Tactical Girl (Hernandez, Rengstorf)124/8-1
9: Optimism And Hope (Mawing, Rarick)124/12-1
LAURA RAY drops to career low, but positive to see Loveberry staying on as the pilot. Should gather late momentum at a anticipated quick pace scenario. HEY DIDJANOTIS came up a neck short as the favorite last out, after a brutal start. Tough to beat with clean beginning. BELLA'S BACK is your likely pacesetter and runs hard most of the time.
6 1 Mile. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $11,500

8: Nastida Mast (Velazquez, Berndt)119/8-1
9: Tahkodha Royale (Hernandez, Bolinger)124/20-1
KEATS CORNER enjoys being on the lead and could prove tough to catch with the major class relief. NASTIDA MAST was a winner last out at this level and distance. Connections must be respected. BYE BYE BERNIE earned career best speed figure last out on the turf, and earns a spot on your ticket in this very competitive race.
7 About 1 Mile 70 Yards. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $35,000

8: Star Spangled (Sanchez, Richard)124/10-1
9: Buxterhooter (Velazquez, Berndt)119/15-1
BEST OF THE BLEU'S has the speed to make him a big threat second time off the layoff. Snappy bullet drill coming in. TIGER BY HIS TRAIL will keep runners honest up front, and will get first run on the leaders. Stablemate MOONLITE JOEY, will be the main threat to fend off down the stretch. SWEEPING EDGE is a must use. Look for him late, if at all.

6: Exemplar (Mawing, Davis)124/6-1
7: Slick as Ice (Butler, Padilla)124/5-2
SLICK AS ICE enjoys arriving late to the dance, and comes in with back-to-back wins with his late surge. SEA TREATY comes in off a sharp win and now steps up a notch. EXEMPLAR drops in from allowance level, after ending out the superfecta ticket last out. MISDEED steps up in class, after advancing late for the win last out.

7: Malibu Stella (Loveberry, Robertson)120/2-1
8: Stevie Mac (Eikleberry, Rhone)122/6-1
MALIBU STELLA has received the minor awards in her two starts this summer. Getting her picture taken is well within reach. STORM TEMPLE PILOT dueled, but faded late to the fourth spot in her return race. Looks to be on the front with a Plush trip. TRINNI earns a spot on the exotic ticket. Could prove tough if runs to past two speed figures.

6: Got Even Smarter (Butler, Sterling, Jr.)122/5-1
7: It's Mike's Turn (Velazquez, Litfin)120/10-1
GOT EVEN SMARTER was a winner two back at this distance facing stiffer competition. Trainer/jockey combo are hitting at 36 percent. You're going to have to forgive ENDER last race to put on top. New acquisition for the red-hot Broberg barn is a must use. SIZZLER is strictly the one to catch to get the win. Consecutive wins in front-running fashion.

6: Poverty Flats (Mawing, Anderson)124/7-2
7: Toupp Ouoolle (Loveberry, Rhone)124/4-1
FLOKI enjoys being on the lead and should appreciate cutting back a half furlong. Strictly the one to beat. TOUPP QUOOLLE will be pressing the pace out of the gate. Worth a look at a square price. FIREBALL Y'ALL returns to the dirt where he does his best running.
