8: Minnieapple Lips (Martinez, Harris)122/6-1
9: Trinity River Bell (Vazquez, Hardy)122/4-1
REGAL KATE didn't have the cleanest of breaks in lone start and seeks better performance with fresher start. FLEET TAYLOR dueled but was outfinished in lone start, finds herself in new barn off the claim. MINNIEAPPLE LIPS and TRINITY RIVER BELL are at top of my list in group of first-timers with a chance to win.

6: Wild by Nature (Eikleberry, Green)123/2-1
7: Manlee Spirit (Castro, Peters)123/7-2
WILD BY NATURE could find himself on the lead with a lack of group speed and lull the pack asleep, finding his way to the wire first. MANLEE SPIRIT chased from mid-pack wide last out in finishing third. Been knocking on the door with four straight board appearances. KIPSWORD could be dangerous shipper from Texas, who usually gets a share. BRICK ALLEY should improve for trainer Robertson on the drop.

11: Big Medicine Man (Carreno, Diodoro)118/2-1
12: Tundra Leap (Ordaz, Silva)118/15-1
BIG MEDICINE MAN has huge class edge over his rivals invading in from Santa Anita for trainer Diodoro. Best chance to earn his diploma in 10th start. A P IS LOOSE was DQ'd from victory last out drifting out down the stretch. Should bounce right back and needs only to maintain present form to be in the mix at the end. CROSSED BOUNDARY exits same race as A P Is Loose with fourth- place effort. Room for improvement second time off the layoff.

7: Prairie Vision (Carreno, Donlin)123/4-1
8: Stillwater Storm (Keith, Oliver)123/7-2
SISTA BABY GIRL doesn't need the lead but might find herself on it with lack of group early foot,. Could be a handful if finds last year's form off the six-month absence. STILLWATER STORM stretches out to two turns, appreciating tonight's distance. PRAIRIE VISION is a money maker while hitting the board in past seven starts, including two wins.

11: All About Brownie (Keith, Biehler)123/7-2
ALL ABOUT BROWNIE should enjoy the class relief after dueling early before fading last two outings. JULIE S will be involved from the break, trying to dictate the pace as is custom for this young filly. Supports two wins in brief career. SMOKEM BULL and NEVERGETSOLD will be major pace players. Both look to rebound coming off dull efforts.

13: Great River Skier (Keith, Bravo)121/6-1
Looking for closer with field full of speedsters. EVERT got off slowly, then had to check before strong closing bid down the stretch. Gets perfect pace scenario picking them off late. SLIPPERY ICE went gate-to-wire in debut with much to spare. ROYAL TRAMP will get first attack on pace- setters hounding from the outside. HOLY KEONI could surprise off the long layoff for Butzow/Robertson/Canchari trinity.

6: Visual Blessing (Olesiak, Bolinger)121/5-1
7: Sunday Dawn (Escobar, Troche)121/6-1
SHESA SPICEY CAT could sneak away at a decent price if left alone on the lead. Stepping up to allowance race off commanding win. REASON'S HARVEST might keep the pace honest playing the huntress right behind front runner. Comes off 8 -length defeat as the favorite. PRINCESS DINAH and ELLIE'S THE BOSS are the class of the field, but both have done their best running on the synthetic surface.

MAD GENIUS gets nice outside post position to watch speed duel occur to the inside and roll late from the outside. GO TO THE PULPIT and SETNMUPKNOCKNMDOWN exit same race finishing a respectful second/third. Expect them to be vying for command up front from the start.
