7: Burnt Ivory (Suarez Ricardo, Hanson)124/5-1
TUCAN SAM ran career best last out in driving finish for the win. KOOL WAGON drops in from allowance after being a non-factor, could be tough to fend if regains previous form. PYC BISCUIT returns off the bench from nine-month layoff.

6: Artic Fire (A. Canchari, Torevell)119/5-1
7: Paradise Rock (Eikleberry, Eikleberry)121/7-2
PENDULUM rallied five wide getting up for place honors just missing the victory by head length, should have enough pace to chase and pounce. ARTIC FIRE takes deepest drop in class in the field of seven, lures hot jockey Canchari to ride. PARADISE ROCK exits same race as top choice settling for third after long duel.

4: Easy Hit (Lopez, McFarlane)120/5-1
5: Deadly Black Eagle (Hernandez, McFarlane)120/9-2
6: Appeal to the King (Butler, Johnson)120/5-1
NORTHERN MERIT should get perfect set-up in field full of speed to latch on for first attack in third career start; training sharply for trainer Robertson. APPEAL TO THE KING returns after 10-month layoff after a hard-fought victory in the Northern Lights Futurity here last September. Liked to have seen a few more works in the training schedule. MAKOSHIKA might accelerate from the start out of post 1 as the one to catch, won two back running away on a sloppy track.

6: La Torera (Ordaz, Silva)123/3-1
7: Denim and Diamonds (Martinez, Martinez)123/8-1
8: Most Darling (Olesiak, Wekseth)123/6-1
LA TORERA has best speed numbers of the group but would like to see more early initiative making a presence from the get-go. BOOT N IT closed well last effort but will have to step it up a notch going after a expected slow pace. SAVE YOUR STORY returns after some dull performances at Turf Paradise, could be tough to beat if finds form from last season here.

11: Robbie's Express (Dieguez, Bends)119/15-1
12: Master Demand (Hamilton, Van Winkle)119/12-1
SARATOGA BOOT is talented enough to grab the lead or sit right off the pace with good tactical speed for trainer Chambers in this closely matched field on the turf. Stablemate A DAY AWAY enters off a closing-up late win and will enjoy the expected snappy fractions tagging along right behind. HUME and SEVEN TUFF are logical strong contenders.

8: Swinging Moon (Carreno, Diodoro)119/4-1
9: Where's Alayna (Quinonez, Robertson)119/12-1
PLATINUM LADY had a polluted break, then ran into traffic trouble in lone start two weeks back but still managed getting up for second. Hard to ignore the lickety-split bullet drills for SMOKEY STREETS coming in, drifted in somewhat down the stretch in lone start. SWINGING MOON ran six wide early in a holding stalking pattern before fading to third.

9: Orange Thunder (Martin, Biehler)119/7-2
10: Somerset Cowboy (Butler, Donlin)123/8-1
ORANGE THUNDER takes significant drop from allowanc. NORTHERN CHAMP lands in newly claimed barn for Robertson, who excels first time out with new purchases. SAM'S SIVER STAR split runners getting up for the win last out, breaking his maiden.

13: Every Way (Graham, Stidham)118/9-2
14: Stoupinator (A. Canchari, Robertson)118/12-1
WILD SWAVA is all dashing speed and gets top billing if stakes race stays on the turf. Four consecutive wins coming in. GOLD MEDAL DANCER lone start on the lawn was a gate-to-wire victory and looks tougher if race needs to switch surfaces. EVERY WAY has slight class edge on the field and is coming off a win on the synthetic track at Arlington Park.

12: Free World (Graham, Amoss)118/7-2
13: Red Zeus (Keith, McFarlane)118/15-1
FREE WORLD has six wins in nine starts, tough on both surfaces. Trainer Amoss didn't ship his dashing prized colt to run for minor awards. GENTLEMAN'S KITTEN will be pressing the issue up front shipping up for the Ramsey family. AZ RIDGE and SLIP AND DRIVE have best shot with local starts.
