6: Lil Miss Party Doll (Torres, Charette-Hill)124/4-1
7: Jakes No Fool (Eikleberry, Olmstead)124/9-2
COWBOYS AND BARBWIRE hopped a tad at the start but rallied strong for win last out. LIL MISS PARTY DOLL refused to leave the gate in lone start here but has been freshened up since, deserves another chance. SHEZA SPICEY SCOOTER exits troubled race with much bumping after winning two back.

4: Jess Lika Blair (Olesiak, Johnson)126/5-2
5: Jess Another Reb (Martinez, Pride)126/4-1
6: Explosive Guns (Frink, Miller)126/9-2
JESS LIKA BLAIR has good early speed to get out quickly and take control with this shaky group. EXPLOSIVE GUNS drops in class and stretches out. BIG KICK MICK and JESS ANOTHER REB should be fighting for minor awards.

5: Criminal Elegance (Olesiak, Turco)123/9-2
6: Ballistic Sue (Eikleberry, Diodoro)123/9-5
BALLISTIC SUE could be extremely tough to beat if returns to previous form after throwing in the towel last out. BOOT N IT cuts back after failing to fire in route race, won two back at this distance. CRIMINAL ELEGANCE also runs shorter and will be late threat picking rivals off in stretch run.
4 7½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $28,500.

9: Aaron's Belt (Martin, Weir)121/15-1
10: Cypress Pond (Hamilton, Berndt)121/4-1
GO GO JILL is a consistent runner with experience edge who will be chasing the contested pace. A FITZING REWARD too has class edge but record suggests best used in second or third spots. Both DORN and GHOSTSTONE come off gate-to-wire victories, making the tonight's pace scenario sizzling.

8: Bambazonki (Martinez, Brinson)119/9-2
9: Affirmed Cure (Olesiak, Peters)119/12-1
10: Raton Pass (Martin Jr., Rarick)119/8-1
RAGGED EDGE's powerful late rush win in the BlairsCoveStakes makes him strictly the one to beat. UNSADDLED GLORY ran well two back while being in the hunt for most the way before slipping out of the prices. BAMBAZONSKI ran in couple of Grade 3 races on the turf last year making this gelding intriguing.

7: Sal'z Romeo (Escobar, Troche)123/9-2
8: Uncle Ron (Hamilton, Hartman)118/4-1
PRINCEAPALLEE ran mid-pack last out before closing with nice inside move getting up for place honors. UNCLE RON snuck away last out with pedestrian fractions cruising to victory. QAHR should be escorting near the lead pushing the pace with A Canchari at the helm.

8: Brooke Academy (Delorme, Miller)123/2-1
9: Gaelic Pride (Goodwin, McKinley)123/20-1
POUNCE got out quickly but let others take the lead before pouncing on them for convincing two length victory last out. ROYAL BLUFF and BROOKE ACADEMY faced each other last out as money-makers for the minor payouts, give slight edge to Royal Bluff.

6: Simply Secret (Eikleberry, Silva)123/9-2
7: Hawkeye Honey (Butler, Bravo)123/7-2
TAPITINTIME came flying with late rush to win in short sprint last out, seems to be screaming for the added distance tonight. MOONSHINE PROMISE stalked before taking over on muddy track in last effort on the main track, I'm looking past uninspiring run on turf last race. HAWKEYE HONEY comes off victory after tailgating frontrunners before final move as the favorite.

6: Heartofdemi (Hamilton, Flores)119/12-1
7: Bold Advantage (Martinez, Kane)123/4-1
REGARDS got off slow, rushed up, checked hard, and fell back with no chance for the win last out. Look for a much better trip tonight. JAZZY'S NAUGHTYBOY looks to improve in second start after slow beginning, expect to make presence if breaks alertly. SMART BUSINESS begins racing career with strong work-tab including last out bullet drill.

HRISHI SUPREM got off to bumpy start but fought for lead most the way before giving in, could find himself alone up front. MACHO STORM ran second same race running late with strong ground saving trip. VANDERBILT BEACH attempts two turns for first time after exiting a couple of minor awards as the favorite.
