15: Flower Beach (Hernandez, McFarlane)118/4-1
16: Kings Clog cer (Butler, Rhone)118/10-1
ROCKET JOE COPPER could be lone speed and sneak away from the field at a big price; taking a shot in a wide open race. LINDA'S LUCK could prompt the pace with early initiative and keep the front runner honest from the start; possible post time favorite. BANANA RUMBLE, X L TEE, and TEXAS RISIN are first-time starters who are training steadily and sharply for their debut.

7: Control Tower (Mello, Keen)119/5-1
8: Sheer Trick (Velazquez, Brinson)119/10-1
CALLINGAHARDTEN seeks his fourth consecutive victory with his late-closing kick but against a much tougher group tonight; looks every bit a win contender with his win streak. SHEER TRICK gets class relief and too will be flying late after exiting a tough optional claimer race. DR. ACTION will stay within striking range from the start with his quick early foot to push the fractions; money maker in all local starts this summer. LIL' APOLLO drops in class and projects as the one to catch to get the win.

12: Runaway Cal (Stevens, Rengstorf)119/20-1
13: The Third Ace (Butler, Riecken)119/15-1
Another closely matched field in the Pick 4 sequence. CITRON KID drops a notch after a few traffic issues last out; take notice of Butler remaining aboard with confidence. GENTLE AS A BREEZE will be involved from the bell and too takes a slight drop in class; well-beaten favorite last out and seeks revenge against lighter company. SOUND EFFECT should appreciate ground saving trip off the rail after swinging seven wide last out in losing effort; winner two back flying late.

8: Gracie Jean (Willey, O'Callaghan)114/15-1
9: Well Brideld Diva (Golibrzuch, Litfin)123/10-1
SUNSHINE KIM rallied late with inside trip but showed up a little too late last out, extra half-furlong might be the answer in breaking her maiden. ONE COOL CHICK plunges in level for over half the price after failing to show much promise against better; expect to sit closer to the pace with softer fractions. RIGHT TO GLORY was DQ'd last out from third to fourth after some bumping down the stretch; love coming back quickly after that educational effort.

7: Jeffell (Sanchez, Westermann)123/3-1
8: Princess of Harlem (P. Canchari, Turco)123/8-1
RICSPRETENTIOUSGAL jumps off the lawn and back to the main track where a few of her best performances have occurred; expect to lead the group on the front end to the wire if regains previous form. JEFFELL ships up from Iowa after exiting a tough stakes race with a hum-drum effort,; no reason not to move forward with this bottom level claiming field. PRINCESS OF HARLEM stretches out to two turns and seems to be screaming for added yardage.

8: McCookspenbadgal (Butler, Arnett)123/8-1
9: Big Cats Echo (Becerra, Backhaus)119/20-1
GALEHORN has settled for second best in lone two efforts on the local track and seems like a perfect fit to move up second off the layoff for the Keen stable. IM A SOUTHERN DIVA is usually in the money gimmicks and will be a contributing factor on the front end; logical win contender. LONELY LOVER was way too deep last out against stiff competition after winning two back by over eight lengths at this level.

6: Zip's Moondance (Mello, Rivelli)120/5-1
7: Gotta Get Paid (Butler, Diodoro)120/12-1
TANNER'S POPSICLE is well rested and projects as the one to catch for the dangerous Amoss/Goncalves duo; tackling weaker group in return makes him the one to beat. CANDY RUBY usually gives a solid effort and comes off a very game defeat last out losing the lead late. GOTTA GET PAID warrants respect with ample early speed and exits a hard-fought victory after dueling for most the way.

5: Blue Ra Ra (Butler, Olmstead)119/6-1
6: Sweet City Song (Carreno, Turco)119/6-1
CASSIDILLY last two efforts sprinting on the dirt were late rallying wins and should enjoy returning to this distance after running two turns on the turf and dirt. IT'S AMORE is all about speed and will come out firing, setting a strong pace controlling her own destiny. TO BE A NOITTED looms late closing threat if pace gets too heated; just missed last out closing seven wide late.
