8: Maxnificent (Hernandez, Mamakos)120/15-1
9: Sunday Prohibition (Carreno, Rengstorf)120/4-1
NORTHAMPTON KID might decide to shoot for the lead as lone speed controlling his own destiny with field loaded with closers. HOLLYWOOD PREMIERE closed from far back while splitting rivals and just missed the victory in debut. Obvious danger in second start. HARD THUNDER and SUNDAY PROHIBITION merit respect after strong efforts in lone turf starts.

8: Saturday in May (Franco, Diodoro)121/5-1
9: I Am Awesome (Carreno, Torevell)119/12-1
IVER WITH AN E takes significant class plunge from allowance races this summer with good tactical speed. Dependable runner usually in the money. ZIPPIDY DO HAH transfers up from Chicago circuit after facing tougher groups, where he had two wins this summer. BEAT YOUR BLUFF will come rolling late working his way thru traffic starting from the rail. Trainer Diodoro sends out SATURDAY IN MAY and RARE COURAGE, both loom dangerous late closing threats.

9: Giant Rainbow (Franco, Diodoro)117/5-1
10: K C's Misfit (Shino, Kirby)121/5-1
CIRCUS GIRL gets class drop and top jockey switch to Butler after running second last out after getting caught late. Should be pushed along early as the huntress. GIANT RAINBOW and MISS MY ROSIE finished behind Circus Girl last out. Giant Rainbow is strictly the one to catch to get the win.

4: Redneck Richie (Keith, Cole)123/6-1
5: Smokin' Cat (Carreno, Diodoro)123/3-2
6: Hot Damon (Bell, McKinley)123/4-1
SMOKIN CAT has been the failed chalk last three out as runner up. Probably found the right group to get first win this meet. JENNA'S LEMON has good early speed coming off the rail to get position out front from the start. Gave way late last out. REDNECK RICHIE drops a notch off the short layoff with Lori Keith aboard. Logical exotic play.

6: Granite Ridge (Hernandez, Rhone)117/8-1
7: Don't Claim Me (Olesiak, Bolinger)117/9-2
UNFOLDED MAGIC dueled throughout last race before weakening late finishing second. Should enjoy cutting back 1/2 furlong where he won by 16 lengths two back. BROTHER STACYS ran career best last out with late running move while drawing away. Reprise of last effort makes him tough to fend off. NUESHTY ran for third in holding pattern behind Unfolded Magic last out. DON'T CLAIM ME is expected to duel with top choice from the get-go.

7: Kraftig (Butler, Rhone)123/3-1
8: Relatively Correct (Carreno, Diodoro)123/5-1
9: Double Tall (Dieguez, Conde)123/15-1
KRAFTIG takes big class drop off the turf in first career effort on the main track out of the Rhone barn. QAHR has been second last two out and beating some of today's rivals. COWBOYSTEVIEWONDER improved last out with the drop in class shipping up from Prairie Meadows. Good to see Alex Canchari remaining aboard after being purchased by new barn.

7: Barbs Bet (Martin, Wiley)119/12-1
8: Smart Business (Escobar, Donlin)119/8-1
9: Holy Brass (Franco, Weir)123/12-1
STORMY AFFAIR showed brief early speed before fading badly last out. Eikleberry now hops aboard to help regain previous form. OUR MAIN MAN MOE ran for place honors last out and might be progressing with some confidence. ARCHARCHMONARCH keeps improving with each race and might be new runner now. Wide-open race in a field with many questions.

9: Thank You for Me (A. Canchari, Robertson)118/12-1
10: Deal Master (Goodwin, Flores)123/20-1
JOHNNY FOOTBALL scrambled for lead last out but couldn't seem to avoid trouble against much tougher. Should prove tough to catch running at lowest level of his career. G ROAD returns to the dirt action after dull effort on the lawn. ATTORNEY FEE and ENGLISH GENT ran poorly last out on the turf but look to improve on the drop.
