4: Big Bad Force (Goodwin, Hartman)123/8-1

6: Uno Mos Bluff (Eikleberry, Blair)123/5-1

FRANKS ON FIRE gets class relief and cuts back in distance shipping up from Oaklawn, where as a group, the shippers from Arkansas ran the best opening weekend. Should get perfect pace scenario up front to close on. THE FLYING WHIZZER drops in class with good early speed as he showed at Sunland Park where he won two back getting the win after dueling down the stretch. UNOS MOS BLUFF returns to home track where lone two wins came in gate-to-wire fashion.

4: Vic the Kick (Stevens, Bethke)123/9-2

5: Musical Deputy (Keith, Biehler)123/4-1

6: Desert Prize (Meier, Rengstorf)123/5-2

MUSICAL DEPUTY returns from a 9 month layoff with a series of good works. Consistent speedball runner who hit the board in all 7 starts here last year. GHOST SKIER is another consistent early speed runner off the long layoff. Has the ability to sit off the speed favoring pace before attacking if ready. PERFECT ABLATION comes in with a solid training tab after two lackluster performances last fall at Hawthorne. View as contender if returns to form he ran here last season.

8: Pirate's Dare (Velazquez, Laing)119/12-1

CASH CALL AL faced tougher in lone turf start after chasing the pace up front at Golden Gate. Last race was educational and should be set to fire today if race stays on the grass. Favorite MISTER BERNSTEIN has one win and two place finishes on this course from last season and would love to see heated pace with his closing style. IN JEOPARDY could prove tough in first turf start coming out of a live heat at Oaklawn. Puts the blinkers on with a bullet workout coming in.

5: Smokem Gray (Eikleberry, Scherbenske)123/6-1

6: National (Stevens, Silva)123/5-2

NATIONAL won three in a row before getting squeezed at the rail trying to sneak through at Santa Anita before weakening to fifth in a 5 horse field. Trainer Silva does well with his 1st time claimers and should enjoy the outside post tonight. WHY FRANK comes off a grass stakes race five months ago to a much softer return here on the dirt. Will be tough if within striking range in final furlong. SMOKEM GRAY had troubled start last out two weeks backs after long layoff. I'll give a pass on that return race.

8: M C Selena (Goodwin, Brueggemann)123/6-1

9: Seemebythesea (Butler, Bolinger)123/6-1

M C SELENA was never a factor last out in first race of 2013 but should prove to be tougher opponent on a dry surface coming off the pace in a hopeful heated pace duel up front. APRETTYUNDERSTUDY is all speed who will look to lead the group as far as she can go. Won last out by over two lengths going 6½ furlongs. INTERCOMPANY LOAN may find herself dueling up front with Aprettyunderstudy after dictating the pace last out in a route race before getting edged out at the end.
