7: Capos Lambretta (Canchari, Livingston)124/8-1
8: Harleys Wild Fire (Romero, Weidner)124/10-1
MS DAZYS CARTEL had brutal break in lone start and deserves another shot. HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD has the best speed numbers in the field. VALIANT RUNNER is a first time starter for hot barn.

8: Hiclass Whiskey (Romero, Stein)125/5-2
9: Apollitical Rainbow (Torres, Charette-Hill)125/10-1
THISBETTERWORK has been a double flop as the favorite coming in, but might of found ideal field to break her maiden. Stablemate IOWA SOONER, has been close last two efforts at big prices. HICLASS WHISKEY just missed at 32-1 last out.

4: Agent Bishop (Arrieta, Nolen)123/2-1
5: She Be Addie (Eikleberry, Roberts)120/7-2
6: Dixie Nation (Harr, Cline)115/6-1
WINNING WALK is a new shooter for trainer Brian House, who is hitting 58% with his first time starters. SHE BE ADDIE is a newbie out of the Robertson barn, and comes in with a solid series of works. AGENT BISHOP has right to improve, after exiting best speed number on the grass last out.

6: Pearle de Veene (Chanchari, Livingston)123/6-1
7: Altered Dream (Martin Jr., Heitzmann)123/3-1
JUST SPLENDID is strictly the one to catch to get your picture taken, but concern is, been second best last four races. LASER LADEE drops a notch in class, and should catch a late gear from mid-pack. ALTERED DREAM brings early zip to the game, and should get first crack on the front runner.

11: Odyssey Explorer (Carter, Diodoro)123/20-1
12: Fear Fighter (Martin Jr., Silva)123/15-1
TIZONA was a gate-to-wire winner out of state last out, and could prove tough if takes to the Shakopee grass. GREAT SKY had some close calls this summer meet, and has every right to get the win with perfect trip. TREVOR'S CALL and UNION RICHES must be included in the conversation, and both have won at this level.

5: Spring Steen (Eikleberry, Bravo)120/5-2
6: Sparkling Champagn (Roman, Robertson)117/10-1
7: College Queen (Goncalves, Lund)120/9-2
SPRING STEEN has three wins in last four starts, and is strictly the one to beat. DICEY is no slouch, and was a four length winner last out. Main threat to top pick. FULL OF GRACE will keep Spring Steen company up front, and price will be right to give a look.
7 About 7½ furlongs on turf. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $16,000. Purse: $16,000.

12: Lil' Red Devil (Garner, Anderson)123/8-1
13: Drane Fame (Lindsay, Rhone)123/20-1
MADISON'S QUARTERS will tour the course on the lead, and could be tough to catch if gets away with easy fractions. GIO ANGEL will let others settle the difference up front, and was a winner two back from off-the-pace. PURE SUGAR is the horse to beat, but not excited about drawing a far outside post with the quick turn into the race.

7: Sweeping Edge (Butler, Rhone)120/7-2
8: Norco (Eikleberry, Pfeifer)120/8-1
SPIRIT OF CALEDON got the victory last out with his strong late kick. Should benefit from contested fractions to roll on. HURRICANE FORCE stretches out to two turns for the first time on the main track. Expect to keep front runner honest on the lead. SWEEPING EDGE also stretches out, and should be a tough foe second off the layoff.

7: North of Eden (Goncalves, Berndt)120/6-1
8: Cause to Wonder (Martin Jr., Silva)120/8-1
DERBY DANCE comes in with consecutive wins with her late closing kick, and is the main threat from the back of the pack. GOOD MARKS owns excellent positional speed, and should be in the hunt early for the strong jockey/trainer duo. GATTAIA will be forwardly placed from the start, and is a consistent money-maker. Has three wins in last five starts.

6: No Dispute (Loveberry, Padilla)120/2-1
7: BL Breezy (Meche, Backhaus)123/9-2
Wide open maiden field to close the card. I'll take a stab with B L BREEZY with the drop in class, and the surface switch. OAKLIE GAL and NO DISPUTE are my backup plays for underneath spots.
Owner Tom Pohlad termed the parting with Falvey, who had been with the club since 2016, as a mutual decision.
