8: Sixappeal (Delorme, McKinley)124/10-1
9: Better Dig Two (Packer, Frey)124/2-1
Tr RUMBO is alert gate breaker which will come in handy with this short sprint. SIXAPPEAL hopped at the start in return race but made up late ground, could prove tough with clean break. BETTER DIG TWO was a game second best at this distance last out.

9: Fiftyshadezofgrey (Packer,Black)126/8-1
10: Fantsy Pants (Swiontek, Weidner)126/20-1
SUDDEN SEPARATION has been second best in last three graded stake races. Softer crop today could get her picture taken. TEMPTING VALOR appears to be main challenger to top choice with strong performances last two efforts. FIFTYSHADEZOTGREY has three wins in past four starts.

5: Some Say So (Franco, Litfin)118/5-1
6: Lil Mighty Mo (Jimenez, Conde)123/9-2
ZAN CREEK appears the one to catch with her speed while drawing the rail position. Went all the way on the lead in dirt sprint last out and watch out if transfers that effort in turf experiment today. SASSY PRANCE returns to the turf after a couple decent efforts on the main track, expect to track the pace putting pressure on Zan Creek. LIL MIGHTY MO is confirmed closer but has yet to make a dent, might of found ideal group to move forward.

7: Majesticact (Velazquez, Biehler)119/6-1
8: Sugar Kay (A.Canchari, Robertson)119/9-5
ACQUIRED BY CUPID initiation to racing begins with a strong work tab for trainer who likes his runners to win first time out, not facing a group of monsters here adds to appeal. SUGAR KAY returns to sprinting after throwing in the towel running on the turf last out. Trainer Robertson is hitting 38 percent with first-time blinkers. EARSAHEAD is a new face to the venue after racing down south for trainer Bravo, has early foot to employ out of the gate.

6: Chris Mars (A.Canchari, Rhone)119/7-2
7: King George (Delorme, Sweere)118/15-1
EVERT been right there in past two starts and has finished ahead over many of today's rivals. CHRIS MARS appears to be lone speed and will take them as far as he can go, won by over four lengths last out. SMOOTH CHIRAZ and VANDERBILT BEACH are legit players and should be there when race unfolds.

9: Brooke Academy (Martin, Jr., Miller)123/15-1
10: P J's Angel (Franco, Scherer)123/7-2
RENAMED caught a muddy track last out running second off the bench, eligible to move forward second time out on dry surface. PURE MUSIC first career start was a winning one on the local track and now cutbacks in class and distance coming up from Prairie Meadows. DA KLEINEN SCHATZI dueled at punishing fractions last out and held on for a hard fought victory as the favorite, expect the same today but needs to get a extra furlong.
7 Lady Canterbury Stakes. 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Purse: $100,000.

10: Hip Ninety Three (Hernandez, McFarlane)117/10-1
11: Secret Someone (A.Canchari, Stidham)117/4-1
Joe Sharp has three runners in the competitive Lady Canterbury Stakes, and his best shot to capture the crown I believe is with MEXICAN MISS. She has been training lights out coming in and has hit the board in past 12 starts. Will probably sit mid-pack before making strong middle move. The one to beat might be SECRET SOMEONE running for the newly purchased Stidham barn. Overcame adversity last out but gain late to get up for fourth, strictly the one to keep a eye on flying from the back of the pack. STOUPINATOR is the local pick coming off a impressive victory as the favorite, strong connections who know the turf course better than anyone.

10: Red Zeus (Franco, McFarlane)117/12-1
11: Toasting Master (Contreras, Romans)119/8-1
Mystic Lake Mile has a very strong group of contestants. Race should set up perfectly for late closer NUN THE LESS, who was the winner of the Mystic Lake Derby last year. Works suggests colt is ready to fire off the six-month layoff for trainer Chris Block. AZTEC BRAVE will be part of the heated duel up front and will take the field as far as he can go with jockey Rosier at the helm. GRANNY'S KITTEN too looms late closing threat picking off runners, exits win down at Keeneland. WARONTHEHOMEFRONT gets the nod for best chance to pull upset for the local crew, should get nice ground saving stalking trip.

7: Runaway Chance (A.Canchari, McShane)123/3-1
8: Regards (Joubert, Hanson)123/15-1
RUNAWAY CHANCE was a runaway winner last out as the favorite clearing the field by over five lengths. HANSBORO drops in class with second start of the year after being over his head last out, probably lukewarm on the board at post. L G SUPREM and APPEAL TO THE KING deserve respect coming from off the pace.

SAMMIE'S TOUCH didn't enjoy the wet surface last out and now jumps to the turf in hopes of turning things around. CASSIDILY returns to the lawn where she does her best running. SHE'S LIT UP and GET COZZY will be setting a blazing trail up front and may the best girl win.

8: Tiz Prime Time (Martin,Jr.,Scherer)119/6-1
DR. SIRTORI drops for over half the price shipping in from the west coast where he faced tons better. ANNIE'S PLEASURES will be alone on the lead stretching out to two turns and could surprise if sets soft fractions. PRESIDENT SPEECH and TIZ PRIME TIME are must considerations in this wide open nightcap.
