9: Tahkodha Belle (Lopez, McFadden)118/20-1
10: Shock the Clock (Eikleberry, Lund)123/5-1
SAMMY'S MINESHAFT cuts back in distance with swift early foot in second attempt on the lawn after finishing third last out. SHOCK THE CLOCK rallied a bit late getting up for second last effort, look for jockey Eikleberry to sit close to the pace for first attack. MINA LAKE will be setting the pace with jockey Franco aboard while imploring for him to hold on to the finish line. CHART ROOM tries the turf experiment with top jockey Butler aboard.
4 About 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse $30,000
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

11: King of Sharks (Hernandez, Litfin)121/15-1
12: Pilatus (Nolan, Berndt)121/9-2
STREET FIGHTING ran second best to a very tough horse last out running six wide in the process, expect to be tough to beat with out the 5 pm traffic trip. MODERN MEDICINE also ran second to a tough foe in last two efforts and will enjoy facing others softer tonight. VANDERBOOM RIDGE set the space and fought through a long stretch duel to get the victory last out.
5 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year olds and up. Starter optional claiming $7,500. Purse $17,000.

3: The Third Ace (Butler, Riecken)119/10-1
4: Sweeping Victory (Goncalves, Amoss)119/7-2
5: Deja l'Etoile (Franco, Scherer)114/6-1
6: Fist Full (Velazquez, Scherer)119/7-2
DUTY PROPER has good tactical speed to sit off the pace in ground saving fashion starting from the pine position, winner last out after pressing the pace. MESA BRUTE was a 17 length winner here two back and will be handful with repeat effort, slight concern of giving way to others at Prairie Meadows last out. FIST FULL ran in merry-go-round style last out while holding third position throughout, should benefit from contested fractions to move forward.
6 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse $10,000.

1: Hi Prim (Nolan, Hawley)123/12-1

6: Fire Game (Carreno, Turco)123/15-1
7: Unlawful Detainer (Vergara, Silva)123/6-1
8: Tempered Threat (Sanchez, Tracy)123/8-1
TRAWEEK should appreciate cutting back a half furlong with his good early speed for connections who are starting to get on a roll. WORLD FAMOUS SAM T also has quick early foot and most likely is the one to catch to get the win. TWO LEFT SHOES and HI PRIM loom the late closing threats if scramble to the front gets a little heated.
7 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse $32,500.

8: Sam Scored a Goal (Eikleberry, Silva)119/4-1
9: Patience Unleashed (Richard, Bethke)119/10-1
HOLY BRASS is all about speed and will set the pace and control his own destiny on the lead, jockey Franco lost the whip last out and hung late losing top honors. ARCHARCHMONARCH ran career best speed number last effort for second best, should be zipping along behind top pick. BLUMIN VOW will prompt the pace with Butler aboard as a obvious danger. SHOT OF JOE is a price play after getting pinched back in lone start.

6: Command the Land (Franco, Chambers)123/6-5
7: Speeding Spike (Swiontek, Miller)123/9-2
8: August Day (Goncalves, Scherbenske)123/6-1
COMMAND THE LAND is usually in the mix but it's been awhile since he has reached the winner's circle, settled for second spot last two spins. SPEEDING SPIKE saved ground but ran behind Command The Land in last race, looks to turn the tables second off the layoff. LANGFURS LIGTHNING will be rolling late picking up the pieces.
9 5½ furlongs. 3-year olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse $10,500.

6: Hidden Demon (Sanchez, Van Winkle)119/9-5
7: Cool N Ready Red (Canchari, Bethke)119/10-1
HIDDEN DEMON got first win last out by crushing the field with seven length win and a lot left in the tank. DA'S LEGACY will be major threat to top pick and enters with sizzling bullet drill, trainer having poor summer meet is the concern. OFF HIS ROCKER comes off the bench after a year but is training smartly.
10 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $12,500. Purse $13,500.

5: Artemusmailcarrier (Goodwin, Riecken)119/6-1
6: Money Tree (Canchari, O'Callaghan)123/8-1
BAD BEHAVIOR plunges from allowance race with three nice morning drills entering the night cap. HARNERSBACH will be pushed along as the rabbit coming off a front running win last out. MONEY TREE drops in class off the turf and could be tough to fend off from the outside post position.
