8: Rare Rocker (Luark, Kane)124/10-1
9: Dancing Bully (Smith, Fennell)126/5-1
V Os RED HOT COLE appears set to break his maiden if ready who looks much the best on paper. RIDICULOUS held on gamely for second last out after losing the lead and looks to be main threat to the favorite. DANCING BULLY weakened late last out finishing a step out of the money.

9: High N Wild (Ruiz, Johnson)122/8-1
10: Mafoosa (Smith, Clay)122/9-2
UHYUSTI finished strongly in lone start to miss debut win by a head length. Expect to bounce right back and is a major threat for win honors. MAFOOSA grabs the outside post so should avoid all the traffic problems that can occur from the get-go out of the gate. PAPPAS WILL has every right to step forward after quick beginning before fading late in debut.

8: Rustic Road (Franco, Rengstorf)119/8-1
9: Marathon Moon (Keith, Bends)119/5-1
MARCH TWELTH was second best last out as the chalk after gaining late lead down the stretch before surrendering to a longshot winner. Starting from much improved post position tonight makes the 7-year-old the one to beat. MARATHON MOON closed strong on the inside last out to get up for the win and could prove tough opponent with repeat effort with expected heated pace up front. SUGARDAZZLE will de a danger if ready off an 11-month rest period.

8: Thepointman (Eikleberry, Rengstorf)123/15-1
9: Private Warrior (Bell, Robertson)123/3-1
EXECUTIVE ACTION returns to much prefer turf after failing to display any effort as the favorite last out after race was taken off the lawn. Expect to take the lead with no real early speed in the field. PRIVATE WARRIOR too returns to turf where his best numbers are recorded in efforts on the lawn. Slight concern for deep closer could be expected snail pace being set. WAFFLE HOUSE KID tries turf for the first time and has realistic assignment if decides to show early foot starting from the rail.

9: Tenpin Strike (Martin, Robertson)123/10-1
10: Mister Wu (Eikleberry, McFadden)123/20-1
11: Mister Bernstein (Bell, Robertson)123/5-1
INCOGNITO BANDITO is comfortable running on any surface if rain becomes a issue once again. Won last out setting strong pace while never looking back to 10 length victory. GET MOVING is another speedball who comes out of live heat while holding on stubbornly for the win. No surprise to see top two bang heads up front dueling it out. MISTER BERNSTEIN is the late threat for the Bell/Robertson duo but will have to overcome starting from gate 11 which keeps me from putting the gelding on top. THREEFIFTYSEVENMAG and RAGGED EDGE are must use on your tickets in a wide-open race.

10: Bob the Bear (Martin, Bolinger)123/5-1
MAHARAJA drew away from the field to 8 length victory last out as the favorite and is entitled to keep moving forward with two starts under his belt this meet. LUCKY STRAW closed well last out charging four wide narrowly missing and settling for place honors in first race off the layoff. Reprise off that effort makes him a obvious danger. SUPREMO STRUCKGOLD returns off the 9 month layoff with a series of strong works to the only track he has raced on.

8: Chile Win (Luark, Miller)123/12-1
9: Dear Fay (Bell, Robertson)123/9-2
DEAR FAY plunges in class afar failing to menace a competitive stretch run after pressing the pace in the slop as the favorite. Jockey switch to Bell who has lone win aboard the filly. SOUPER FOUR finished second after pressing the front in a holding pattern in return race. Positive is Eikleberry remains aboard. BLUES EDGE came flying late to get up for show money but well behind today's rival Souper Four. Put blinkers on today with solid shot to make a presence in a field with many questions to ask.

6: Big Bruin (Martin, Brueggemann)121/7-2
7: Third Rail (Shepherd, Shryock)121/6-1
Competitive evenly matched race but give slight edge to AL MUSADDAD who made a strong inside bid charging up for place honors with Lori Keith aboard. Should receive wanted quick fractions for making late run with a couple of road-runners in the group. BIG BRUIN came up short behind top pick for show money but can improve off that effort stalking the speedsters. MORGANOUSKA finished well back behind top two picks in same race after running wide as the heavy favorite. Enters with bullet drill and expecting step up with a better trip.

JANTZESFANCYFRIEND zooms back after 11 day rest pressing the pace up front before fading down the stretch at 6 furlongs so should enjoy shortening back to 5½ furlongs tonight. SOMERSET COWBOY and LOOKIN AT LARRY too shoot back to sprinting after short 11 day furloughs. Expect both to be running late picking up the pieces in this struggling maiden field.

11: Lucky Gem (Delorme, Pfeifer)123/12-1
CANDY PAINT comes off the turf while dropping in class to break out of her slump since winning debut seven races back. TOMORROW'S MOON will be expected to be up front and should improve second time off the layoff after dueling in the slop last out before tiring to fourth. RIDGEOFSTONE steps off the lawn with her early speed and become most likely opponent for Tomorrow's Moon to battle up front with.
