8: No Alibyes (Suarez-Ricardo,Black)124/6-1
HICLASS MAN trainer, is hitting 30 percent with his new acquisitions and gets top jock to ride. TOAST ON FIRE figures to be in the hunt, but trainer is still looking for first win of the meet. DENIM DUST won two back on a muddy track, so rate higher with rain in the forecast.

10: Pee Why See (Delgado, Hardy)124/5-1
11: Cf High Rate Lady (Velazquez,Hardy)124/3-1
PEE WHY SEE could prove tough for strong connections if gelding can control himself out of the gate. BLOW FLY CRANK is usually in the mix and was recently purchased by hot trainer. VIXENS IVORY HERO should enjoy cutting back in yardage after weakening late last out.

5: Meeting in Heaven (Hernandez, Gordon)124/12-1
6: Blue Bomber (Mojica, Diodoro)124/3-1
7: Impromptu (Butler, Rhone)124/2-1
SIR SEARSUCKER should get a great view from the back of the pack of the anticipated pace battle. The hotter the splits, the better for him, rolling late. IMPROMPTU has four wins in his last five starts. Figures to be in the hunt from the start for the Rhone/Butler team. BLUE BOMBER and POLITICALLYCORRECT could hook up in early duel out of the gate, taking the field as far as they can go.

9: Princess Elsana (Sanchez, Swan)117/10-1
10: Bear Facts (Mojica, Lund)124/8-1
11: Perfect Paradise (Evans, Fields)122/8-1
PERFECT PARADISE lost his rider out of the gate last out and deserves another chance to rebound to winning ways. Price will be right to give a look. SAVED BY THE SWELL came flying late to break her maiden in her turf experiment last out. Plenty to be positive about after that effort. SANILAC might be lone speed in her first turf race. Could be tough to catch if left alone on the lead. BEAR FACTS and GRANITES PEAKS are major players and both are shooting for three straight victories.

14: Tour de Rock (Goodwin, Hornsby)120/8-1
15: Iver With an E (Velazquez, Litfin)120/30-1
INFINITE MAGIC has been working solidly for his return race and now drops to lowest level of his career for the Diodoro barn. SLIP AND DRIVE too has encouraging works off the extended absence, and should be doing his better running late if ready to go. KEEP ME POSTED will probably find himself on the lead at big odds, and attempt to wear down his rivals, with jockey Loveberry imploring for him to hold on to the wire.

9: Clever Hest (P.Canchari, Bethke)124/12-1
10: Susie Deucie (Hernandez, Donlin)124/10-1
ACADEMIC BAY had a troubled start and traffic troubles last out, taking all chances for a win off the table. The one to beat without all the drama. NO BLING came up flat for return race two weeks ago, but has been freshened up since. Expect better effort tonight for top barn. TA KELA WARNING and CLEVER HEST are first time starters with steady work schedules. Ideal field for inauguration.

7: Tiz Highlight (Delgado, Jerdee)124/12-1
8: Big Josie (Mojica, Lund)120/8-1
9: Maria Who (Loveberry, McFarlane)120/7-2
GENITHELAMBORGHINI keeps improving with each race and seems to be on the right path for trainer Valorie Lund. Lightly raced filly just missed last out after advancing four wide. GLORIOUS ODYSSEY switches surfaces and puts the blinkers on for trainer Bravo. Strong angles for the veteran coach. CANDY'S MOUSSE and MARIA WHO begin their racing careers, with works suggesting they're cranked to go.

8: The Tascosa Kid (Hamilton, Robertson)124/2-1
9: Pendulum (Johnson, Bethke)119/15-1
THE TASCOSA KID won't spend much time in the gate for his Canterbury debut. Speedster has faced better out of state and last work was a sizzling bullet drill. DRIVE SANDY DRIVE was runner-up last out, dueling for most the journey, but giving way late. SETNMUPKNOCKNMDOWN will be on the heels of top two choices, and is the logical threat if pace gets a little too heated.

5: El Bongo (Delorme, Padilla)124/15-1
6: Wiley Wizard (Keith, Biehler)124/5-1
7: Friend to Me (Velazquez, House)124/4-1
SASSTALK stretches out to a mile for first time in his career. A strong angle for trainer Joel Berndt. Likely pace setter to catch to get the win. Trainer Brian House sends out BANDINI MOON and FRIEND TO ME. Barn is off to slow start, but this could be the race to turn things around. Probable post time favorites when gates open.

5: Conquest Bigluck E (Mojica, Diodoro)120/7-2
6: Luvinmeiseasy (Velazquez, Berndt)120/4-1
Great race to end the card. MAJESTIC PRIDE returns to the main track after coming up short in back-to-back efforts on the lawn, including last out in the Mystic Lake Mile. Expect Dean Butler to have the regular money-maker forwardly placed from the start. Robertino Diodoro sends out two serious contenders with PATRIOTS RULE and CONQUEST BIGLUCK E. Both will be doing their better running late. LUVINMEISEASY won two back on muddy track, moving away with every stride. Serious threat on wet surface.
Randle was a strong candidate to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday, but was not chosen and will head to the beach instead.
