DICKEY BOB has been runner-up in two of three starts. Ideal field to get the job done.THIS TRAINS ROCKIN had a bumpy start in debut but showed some fight at the end. FANTASTIC CURVES dueled throughout last effort as the favorite but had to settle for place honors.

5: Mmz Twisted Heart (Sanchez, Walker)119/10-1

6: Smoken Danni (Delorme, Kirby)124/8-1

7: Kisses for Sidney (Velazquez, Biehler)119/6-1

LOOKIN ATA RUNAWAY should be doing her better running late, in a field with a ton of pace. Came rolling late two back, to get the win at 55-1. BLOSSOM DEARIE returns to sprinting on the dirt after running a clunker on the sod last out. Expect to be part of the pace battle with her early speed and inside draw. KISSES FOR SIDNEY prompted the pace before taking over down the stretch, breaking her maiden in second career start.

4 About 7½ furlongs on turf. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming $25,000. Purse: $32,000.

1: Catty N Sassy (Evans, Robertson)120/3-1

2: Miss Oreo (Mojica, Applegate)124/5-1

3: Housemaker (Velazquez, Van Winkle)120/6-1

4: Royal Temptress (Butler, Sterling)120/7-2

5: Betyar (Hamilton, Robertson)120/9-2

7: Dancer's Notes (Lindsay, Silva)114/10-1

8: Socialized (Loveberry, Beam)120/6-1

MISS OREO advanced five wide, sweeping around the field to get up in time for the win last out off the extended layoff. Should get perfect pace scenario to come flying late. CATTY N SASSY could prove tough if she can regain her turf form from last season. Ran career-best speed figure on the local grass for the win to end her 2016 campaign. ROYAL TEMPTRESS, BETYAR and SOCIALIZED are all major players at generous prices.

5 6 furlongs. State-bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $33,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

2: Fear Fighter (Hamilton, Robertson)124/6-1

3: Keats Corner (Joubert, Hanson)119/5-1

4: Hatties Jewel (Butler, Bethke)124/8-1

5: Somsi (Loveberry, Robertson)124/3-1

6: Johnny the Jet (Mojica, Riecken)124/5-2

JOHNNY THE JET projects to stalk a decent amount of speed in front of him. Concern of a bounce looms. SOMSI disappointed last out and too should be sitting off the pace battle for first attack. STAR SPANGLED and KEATS CORNER are sure to battle from the start, fighting for the lead. One of them could last longer than most bettors may imagine.

6 About 7½ furlongs on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $19,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Heart of the Run (Velazquez, Applegate)124/20-1

2: Clear the Way (Mojica, Diodoro)124/8-1

4: Schindlers Risk (Goodwin, Schindler)124/20-1

10: Flower Beach (Mawing, McFarlane)124/20-1

11: Caleb's Courage (Loveberry, Biehler)118/15-1

12: Honor Earned (Sanchez, Padilla)124/3-1

13: Pot Liquor (Loveberry, Stuart)124/10-1

CEDAR SAGE should be on or near the lead with Butler aboard. Worthy of consideration. IDA GOODEST exits higher-quality races from Turf Paradise. HONOR EARNED could be the post-time favorite, but difficult to put on top with the far outside draw.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Sweet Proud Native (Loveberry, Walker)119/15-1

2: Mystic Shadow (Delorme, Kirby)119/20-1

3: Poverty Flats (Butler, Anderson)124/8-1

4: Miracle Eclipse (Velazquez, Donlin)119/20-1

6: He's a Talker (Hamilton, Robertson)119/8-1

8: Neymar (Keith, Biehler)119/4-1

9: Monday Confession (Sanchez, Broberg)119/9-5

10: Be Real Quiet (Johnson, McFadden)119/20-1

12: Courtney's Hero (Escobar, Rhone)119/12-1

NEYMAR was second best in debut, coming on late to the scene. Should appreciate the added distance today. MONDAY CONFESSION is all about speed. Set a brisk pace last out but got caught late. POVERTY FLATS might keep Monday Confession company up front with Butler at the helm. Showed brief early speed against tougher last out.

8 About 1 mile, 70 yards on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $28,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Threescore (Sanchez, Stuart)118/15-1

3: Strike Force Z (Butler, Diodoro)118/4-1

4: Vix Vision (Joubert, Hanson)118/10-1

5: Ahoymycaptain (Loveberry, Berndt)118/8-1

6: True Power (Shepherd, Geiner)118/12-1

7: Kilarney Blarney (Evans, McFadden)124/20-1

9: Cape Rosso (Mojica, Heitzmann)124/7-2

10: Dynamite Man (Goodwin, Scherer)118/12-1

11: Diamondmaze (Velazquez, Berndt)118/9-2

12: Stormfighter Gold (Mawing, Swan)118/20-1

13: P R Trumps Gold (Lindsay, Litfin)118/20-1

15: Heavy Roller (Ramgeet, Gourneau)118/8-1

GREAT comes in from the West Coast circuit, where the outcomes were subpar at best. New surroundings might help, and for a trainer who does good work off the claim. Expect STRIKE FORCE Z to be involved from the start with his quick turn of foot. DIAMONDMAZE had some traffic issues in his first Canterbury appearance and deserves another chance.

9 5½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver maiden claiming $20,000. Purse: $14,500.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Bluegrass Sight (Butler, Rhone)124/5-1

3: Doc Radke (Hernandez, Westermann)124/8-1

5: Duke of Luke (Delorme, Bethke)124/5-1

6: Be My Shadow (Sanchez, Anderson)124/9-2

SIDEARM steps up a slight notch and is full of confidence coming in off back-to-back wins. Will come off from off the pace, so be patient. DUKE OF LUKE takes a slight drop after giving way late in the game last out. BLUEGRASS SIGHT will get ground-saving trip off the rail and could slip in for the minors. DOC RADKE is the one to catch to get the win.
