#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Master of the Sky (Velazquez, Olmstead)122/7-2

2: Faster Lika Wind (Swiontek, Johnson)122/15-1

3: Jess About Midnight (S. Ricardo, Hanson)122/6-1

4: Nsm the Ice Man (Delgado, Hunt)122/9-2

6: Gees Louise (Pinon, Black)122/8-1

7: Let Bull Fly (Velazquez, Olmstead)122/12-1

8: Her Painted Hero (Bachicha, Jr., Hunt)122/2-1

LET BULL FLY was bothered early and late last out and could prove tough with clean journey to finish line. HER PAINTED HERO ran for place honors in both starts. MASTER OF THE SKY dueled throughout last two races but was outfinished in both.

2 350 yards. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $10,000

1: Dashing Tee (Delgado, Hardy)126/8-1

2: No Such Tellin (Packer, Addicott)126/20-1

3: Matts Corona (Velazquez, Barnes)124/8-1

4: Bileve (Pinon, Swan)124/3-1

5: Rey D Arranque (Klaiber, Weidner)126/20-1

7: Gramma Ella (Swiontek, Livingston)126/5-1

8: Hiclass Man (Suarez Ricardo, Swan)126/5-1

9: Paint Me a Runaway (Torres, Charette-Hill)126/4-1

BILEVE was a two-back winner, and runner-up last out as the favorite. GRAMMA ELLA has the current class edge and is a consistent money-maker. MATTS CORONA came on late to get the win last effort.

3 About 1⅜ miles on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Starter allowance. Purse: $25,000

1: Blue Bomber (Mojica, Diodoro)124/7-2

2: Born Force (Lindsay, Donlin)124/9-2

3: Sweet Stuff (Hamilton, Donlin, Jr.)124/8-1

4: Sir Searsucker (Mawing, McFarlane)124/8-1

5: High Side (Sanchez, Rhone)124/6-1

HAY DAKOTA is strictly the one to beat if race stays on the grass. Winner of the Mystic Lake Mile two back, has a strong class edge over his opponents and will get much respect at the betting windows. BLUE BOMBER brings plenty of early speed and projects as the one to catch to get the win. HIGH SIDE will be my top choice if race is taken off the turf because of rain. Let's hope not; might be three runners left in this small field.

4 About 5 furlongs on turf. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming: $7,500. Purse: $17,000

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Bear's Big Boy (Sanchez, Broberg)124/5-1

2: Fusaichi Kid (Loveberry, Rhone)124/8-1

4: Pilatus (Mojica, Jr., Bolinger)124/5-1

5: Harnersbach (Mawing, Lund)124/10-1

6: Smiling Charlie (Canchari, Bethke)124/12-1

7: Boston Charley (Mojica, Fields)124/9-2

8: Don't Claim Me (Hernandez, Bolinger)124/15-1

5 6½ furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $10,000. Purse: $11,500

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Miracle Eclipse (Canchari, Donlin)120/4-5

2: Regal Rival (Hamilton, Anderson)124/15-1

3: Big Boy Sam (Loveberry, Olmstead)120/8-1

5: Brave Honor (Lindsay, Pfeifer)120/15-1

6: Nik Nak Paddy Wak (Mojica, Sterling, Jr.)120/7-2

7: Epic Force (Bedford, Wiley)115/15-1

8: Whoabegone Bakery (Goodwin, Rarick)124/12-1

MIRACLE ECLIPSE will be a single on most Pick 4 cards. Gelding is 0-4 in starts, but this is the opportunity to get first win in a soft field and top jockey aboard. NIK NAK PADDY WAK was purchased by the Sterling barn, which has decent numbers with his new acquisitions. I'll give BRAVE HONOR another chance, but only for the minor awards.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Cedar Sage (Hamilton, Bravo)120/7-2

2: Wajna Surprise (Joubert, Hanson)120/10-1

3: Explosive Page (Canchari, Canchari)124/15-1

4: Team Fireball (Ramgeet, Ramgeet)124/6-1

6: Best Trick Yet (Canchari, Canchari)124/15-1

7: The Checotah Kid (Hernandez, Riecken)124/12-1

8: Lipan (Mojica, Diodoro)120/7-5

LIPAN returns to the main track after a failed effort on the turf last out. Light on winning form but lands in a cushy spot, and gets great tracking spot with outside draw. CEDAR SAGE switches surfaces with class drop, and return to dirt could a key. Will be dedicated to the front and has banged heads with softer. RIVERWIND CASSENA's speed figures match up well if you toss out last race. Much respect for barn.

7 6½ furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $10,000. Purse: $11,500

1: Courtney's Hero (Sanchez, Rhone)120/3-5

2: Supermans Bodgit (Bedford, Wiley)115/15-1

3: Who Let Dacat Out (Mojica, Fauchald)124/9-2

4: Squeal of Fortune (Mawing, Rarick)120/20-1

5: Taz Warrior (Escobar, Danger)124/8-1

7: Lee's Tough Guy (Lindsay, Donlin, Jr.)124/12-1

8: Marco's Tribute (Velazquez, Rhone)120/20-1

COURTNEY'S HERO came up short as the heavy favorite last out but should be a new ballgame against this feeble field. Will come rolling late, so need to be patient. WHO LET DACAT OUT's best performance was two back, with a runner-up finish. Repeat of that effort makes him the main threat. TAZ WARRIOR is worth the trifecta ticket.

8 6½ furlongs. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $6,250. Purse: $10,500

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

2: Silky Lady (Mojica, Rengstorf)124/4-1

3: Dialmynumber (Mawing, Lund)120/6-1

4: Warren's Honey Bee (Ramgeet, Diodoro)124/2-1

5: Good N Naughty (Lindsay, Diodoro)120/8-1

6: Cindication Boss (Sanchez, Anderson)120/12-1

8: Hey Hey (Hernandez, Berndt)120/10-1

WARREN'S HONEY BEE makes her Canterbury debut as a new addition to the Diodoro stable. Been on the bench since February, but works are solid coming in. ELEVENPOINT RIVER cuts back in distance with ample early speed. Worth noting Loveberry remains aboard, after failing as the chalk last two out. DANCING WITH EVE drops to career low and signs could be live with focus on two bullet drills coming in.

9 6 furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $20,000. Purse: $16,000
