6: Sismonceo (Ochoa, Sheehan)119/4-1

7: Miss Taylor K (Goodwin, Kirby)119/12-1

TALE OF UTOPIA is the most logical single on the card towering over the field in class and speed figures. PRETTYASAPEARL and ME HA have the best chances of pulling off the upset of the day for trainers who are solid second time out, but will have to give each a pardon for their dull debuts.

2 1 mile 70 yards. open. Maiden claiming $25,000. Purse: $16,100.

8: Luxury and Glitter (Velazquez, Sweere)123/9-2

9: Demis Lil' Star (Arroyo, Rampadarat)123/12-1

DE BALA ran in a field way over his head last out and should enjoy the company he'll be running with today much more to his liking. Stretching out for the first time shouldn't be a issue. The jockey/trainer combo of Keith/Biehler will attempt to sweep the early double with CYCLONE CANYON if they win with the chalk in the opening race. AFFIRMED CURE had a bad start followed by a bad trip, so trainer Peters wheels her gelding back on six days rest to run longer showing some confidence.

3 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse: $9,000.

7: All Bets Are Off (Butler, Rengstorf)123/7-2

8: Devil Her Diamond (Eikleberry, Padilla)123/5-1

ALL BETS ARE OFF will let others do the dirty work up front sitting in the jet stream behind them before making final threatening move taking over. HAVASU is another stalker who might decide to fire out of the gate to the front starting from the rail position. DEVIL HER DIAMOND is all speed who grabbed the lead in all three starts down at Will Rogers Downs but weakened late in each. Maybe change of scenery gives her new found strength to finish out.

4 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,000.

11: Unusual Mystery (Meier, Silva)123/8-1

12: Union Buster (Vergara, Biehler)119/15-1

KARBER grabbed the lead and never looked back winning by nine lengths. Place runner came back for win next out making the victory more impressive. DAKOTA SMOKEY comes out of a live heat in the mud, pressing the pace, but stalling in holding pattern in chasing. Will need to find another gear to pass the top pick. LATE DEVELOPER will have to overcome starting from the 10-hole but could get the perfect set-up sitting behind the expected headed pace after a three month hiatus.

5 about 7½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $25,000.

1: Rio Bello (Shepherd, Berndt)123/15-1

9: Excusemeplease (Butler, Bravo)119/8-1

10: Biloxi Lion Tamer (Goodwin, Burgess)123/8-1

BITTER TEARS will try to control the pace as the front runner cutting back in distance shipping up from Tampa. Jockey Rhone specializes in lulling the field to sleep and sneaking away. BOURBONOLOGY will be forwardly placed with Stevens aboard returning back to preferred turf race coming off a third place finish at Arlington Park. Filly faced much tougher at Saratoga last fall. SHESINITTOWINIT tries turf for the first time with good early speed who has made money in last five starts but lacking final kick to reach top payout.

6 1 mile. fillies and mares. Allowance. Purse: $32,400.

1: Somerset Ballerina (Eikleberry, Donlin)121/12-1

7: Cinder Ellie (Rivera, Oliver)121/15-1

8: Siften Gold Nugget (Olesiak, Peters)121/20-1

TALKIN ABOUT will be a single on most cards stretching out for the second time in fifth career start. LIkes to make one big close fyling late and should benefit from expected contested fractions. CAP AND TRADE too stretches out for second time and could find herself on the lead with Butler pushing the button. Won lone two turn race on the lead by five lengths. TAPITINTIME is a decent play for underneath on exotic tickets who got a share last out running 7-wide.

7 About 11⁄16 miles. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $18,000.

8: Adonica (Keith, Biehler)119/5-1

9: Wonder Country (Martin, Berndt)123/8-1

10: Margo's Delight (Rivera, Brinson)123/7-2

PLEASANT LIFE is bred well for the turf and is my top pick but will not use if taken off. Major player is usually in the mix who just missed last out on soft footing by half length in closing. MARGO'S DELIGHT finished right behind top pick closing 5-wide but cause for concern today is starting from Post-10 and avoiding getting hungout to dry on first turn. SHE'S MIGHT FIRST looks to be the one to catch and could steal it with no real speed in the race. Won last grass effort at Remington Park.

8: Save Your Story (Rivera, Van Winkle)123/10-1

9: Miss Luna (Martin, Rarick)119/12-1

GRACIAS is all about speed so come catch her who will be firing out of the gate for third straight win. GETTING BIRDIE should get the perfect stalking pace with ton of early speed in the race and looks to be going in the right direction for trainer Biehler. TEMPE will give Gracias all she can handle up front who held on gamely running gate-to-wire last out.

9 300 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden. Purse: $11,000.

9: Wheely Rare (Von Rosen, Clevenger)126/10-1

10: A Runnaway Train (Luark, Miller)124/6-1

OBAKABY ANNIE stumbled at the start last out and should return ready with clean break dropping in class and yards. A LIL DIVA hit the board twice in three starts last year getting out quickly from the gate and now returns with a bullet drill entering. TOTAL TEAM is a consistent runner who has come up a tad short last two efforts. Ideal spot to break his maiden.

10 350 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Optional claiming $15,000. Purse: $15,000.

6: Jump the Creek (Eikleberry, Harris)126/5-1

7: Mighty Quick Shake (Goodwin, Hardy)126/7-2

JUMP THE CREEK led most the way before being out-finished at the wire last out. Cutback of fifty yards could be the deal breaker. SUMMIT BID did the electric slide out of the gate but still managed a third place finish. Could prove tough opponent running straight out of the blocks. EYEOFAHERO led the whole 400 yards last out for the victory and looks to be on the right path with two runner-ups prior to win.
