6: Box Office Appeal (Butler, Riecken)119/5-1

7: Tava's Prize (Eikleberry, Anderson)119/3-1

Getting MOUNT STEPNEY at 4-1 morning line odds would be a gift for the opener. Showed good early speed in lone start before weakening and now cuts back a half-furlong. TAVA'S PRIZE could show promise for first asking with solid series of works coming in. WYO GIRL missed by a head in stubborn defeat for debut at Prairie Meadows.

2 About 11⁄16 miles. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $19,000.

11: Jaco Red (Hernandez, McFarlane)118/12-1

13: Flashy Em (Ocampo, Anderson)118/10-1

GENTLE AS A BREEZE could be lone speed and could be long gone if unchallenged; second best last out as the favorite getting nipped at the wire. WHY FRANK has class edge on the field and will be stalking the pace from the outside with Rivera aboard; won two back at this distance. CORPORATE CHARLIE has been stacking his medals for the supporting roles this season but could enjoy the longer distance tonight in closing.

3 About 11⁄16 miles. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming $25,000. Purse: $29,000.

11: Dontrattlemycage (Martin, Litfin)119/6-1

12: Assembly Hall (Rhone, Porter)118/6-1

OUGHTERSON gets ground-saving rail trip today behind expected warm pace; ran career best last out at 9-1, settling for second. NIC A JACK three-win streak was snapped last effort running near the lead but not leading as is usual case; like to see jockey Martin take the lead and run as far as the gelding can go in front. ARONEY and TUBBY TIME are the logical closing threats. Tubby Time lost top turf rider Bell, not a positive signal.

8: Sunset Kid (Swiontek, McFadden)118/20-1

9: Evaluate (IRE) (Trimble, Berg)123/10-1

With no speed in the race, jockey Escobar would be wise to let GREAT BAM shoot to the front and see how far the 5-year-old gelding legs can take them; could steal it with no pressure. OUTOFTHECLOUDS will be doing just that for the Butler/Lund team; not involved last out with slow break. MASON'S PEGASUS has decent early speed if so chooses; had a bumpy start in return after year hiatus. Wide-open affair to start Pick 4.

6 1 mile 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,000.

11: El Truenos (Ocampo, Tracy)123/9-2

12: Casino Charley (Arroyo, McFadden)123/30-1

ERBIA drops in class off the grass and has faced much better his whole career so taking a shot with the price runner out of the Silva; if has anything in the tank he'll be arriving late. CANDY CAN DO just missed last out closing three wide; should be tough in second attempt at two turns on the dirt. BLOTHEFELD made a nice rail bid, getting up for place honors last effort at a big price.

7 6½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $12,000.

8: La Malinche (Von Rosen, Suter)119/10-1

9: All Bets Are Off (Butler, Rengstorf)119/6-1

CANTAFFORDANOTHER looks to be the one to haul down with rail speed searching for consecutive wins; last winning effort could have been a confidence builder. GAIL'S JEWEL falls back to $4,000 claiming level where she won two back after stalking the pace. ONE MORE PALO and RED HEADED WOMEN cut back from route racing and should be more than fit for today's distance.

8 6 furlongs. State bred. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $32,400.

4: Command the Land (Goodwin, Brinson)119/4-1

5: Bigdaddywarbucks (Eikleberry, Van Winkle)123/12-1

Winner of this race should come off the pace, so give 4-1 morning line COMMAND THE LAND a solid shot with first attack on the frontrunners. Doesn't need the lead and can sit in the jet stream behind speedsters like he did last out in takeover win. BING'S MAGIC will be rolling late as is custom; was over his head last out in open company. SHEER TRICK will be the far back late closer to keep your eye on flying from the clouds.
