JOHNNY LOVE'S CANTERBURY LINE
Post time: 12:45 p.m. Best bet: Somerset Bing (5th race). Best play: 50-cent Pick 4 (5th), 2/1-2-3-6-7/1-2-3-4-6/1-2-5-6-7, $62.50.
1 6 furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse: $10,000.

1: Luvabullheiress (Mello, Pearson)123/6-1
2: Our Valid Twirl (Becerra, LaVanway)123/5-2
3: Visual Blessing (Delorme, Kirby)123/6-1
4: Game Kick (Nolan, Riecken)123/12-1
5: Just Have'n Fun (Stevens, Diodoro)123/8-5
6: Princess of Harlem (P.Canchari, Turco)123/9-2
JUST HAVE'N FUN might have found the right field to turn things around for trainer Diodoro, who knows where to spot his runners. PRINCESS OF HARLEM will be the late rolling threat but slight concern of a pedestrian pace keeps her out of the top spot. OUR VALID TWIRL doesn't need the lead but probably will grab it; could be tough to catch if left alone.
2 About 1 mile, 70 yards. Turf. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $10,000. Purse: $17,000.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Two Chance (Delorme, Kirby)119/8-1
2: Ragged Edge (Carreno, Rhone)123/7-2
3: Gentle as a Breeze (Escobar, Silva)119/6-1
4: Kipson (Sanchez, Scherbenske)119/10-1
5: Born Force (Richard, Donlin)119/5-1
6: Mind the Master (Willey, O'Callaghan)114/15-1
7: Mysterious Noise (Butler, Rhone)119/9-5
8: Limeshare (Lopez Jr., Riggs)119/10-1
9: The Third Ace (Butler, Riecken)119/8-1
MYSTERIOUS NOISE is a consistent seasoned veteran and strictly the one to beat; talented enough to close from far back or sit off the pace. Stablemate RAGGED EDGE will be main threat to Mysterious Noise after unleashing a strong stretch run last out to get up in time for the win. BORN FORCE ran right behind Ragged Edge last out to grab the second spot; seems to be progressing at the right time.
3 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $14,500.

1: Wildcat Moon (Becerra, LaVanway)121/6-1
2: W W Concerto (Mello, Lund)119/8-1
3: Wonder About Lola (Escobar, Fields)116/8-1
4: Mogilny (Velazquez, Herb)119/6-1
5: Five Seasons (Carreno, Diodoro)119/5-2
6: Jifquick (Sanchez, Tracy Jr.)121/9-2
7: Conticinio (Hernandez, Fields)119/3-1
WILDCAT MOON is all about the pace and is the one to catch to get the win; should get a healthy price on this speedball coming from off the rail. FIVE SEASONS enters with back-to-back wins and is the logical favorite; will prompt the pace with terrific position to pounce when asked. W W COCERTO exits an impressive hard-fought dueling win and will give the top pick all he can handle in the scramble up front.
4 About 1 mile, 70 yards. Turf. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $12,500. Purse: $14,500.
#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds
1: Lamazone (Hernandez, McFarlane)123/9-2
2: Zibby Do (Carreno, Rhone)123/8-1

7: Deemie (Goncalves, Litfin)123/8-1
8: Badge of Honor (Mello, Rhone)118/15-1
9: Be My Honeycomb (Sanchez, Rengstorf)123/5-1
BE MY HONEYCOMB is allowance dropper who will appreciate the class relief; winner at this distance and level three back by more than four lengths. PAPA'S TANGO L R has been in the money gimmicks in all four starts this summer meet; logical contender with Butler aboard. LAMAZONE and SPINNING STEEL are must-use on ticket with ability to get the job done.
5 6½ furlongs. State-bred. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $10,000. Purse: $12,500.

9: Flylikadiva (Arroyo, Donlin Jr.)123/20-1
10: Rosehill Rosie (Stevens, Litfin)119/7-2
SOMERSET BING overcame adversity last out to get up for third after a brutal trip; gets top jockey Goncalves at the helm today. ROSEHILL ROSIE will be in the mix from the start but will get to gun it early from the far outside post. TALE OF CLAIRLYN got blocked last out and never really recovered as the favorite; expect better trip and performance here.
6 About 7½ furlongs. Turf. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $30,000.

1: Garden Games (Goncalves, Padilla)117/7-2
2: K C's Misfit (Delorme, Kirby)121/9-2
3: Who's for Glory (Franco, Lund)121/2-1

6: Do It Like Kela (Richard, Miller)117/15-1
7: Disones Pretty (Velazquez, Biehler)119/5-1
8: Bella Parvati (P.Canchari, L.Canchari)121/20-1
9: Passing the Grade (Mello, Tracy Jr.)121/12-1
GARDEN GAMES failed to fire last out going longer; should enjoy the cutback in distance with some early presence near the lead. WHO'S FOR GLORY is well-rested and could prove tough with fresh legs bringing up the rear. K C's MISFIT has the look of a contender with her last two spins on the turf; winner two back when cut loose from the back of the pack.
7 About 11⁄16 miles. Turf. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming $35,000. Purse: $32,000.

1: Audrey's Double (Goncalves, Pessin)114/9-2
2: Jazz Beat (Velazquez, Ely)119/2-1
3: Enlightened (Butler, Lund)119/8-1
4: Circus Girl (Franco, Rengstorf)121/4-1
5: Aaron's Belt (Nolan, Weir)119/15-1
6: Baetykaty (Stevens, Diodoro)121/3-1
7: Bear Facts (Mello, Lund)119/8-1
BAETYKATY attempts the turf for the first time and most likely the pace-setter with her dazzling speed; comes out of some live heats at Prairie Meadows. JAZZ BEAT and CIRCUS GIRL have early speed to push the top pick to go quicker than she will like; realistic assignment for either one to grab the lead down the stretch and hold on.
8 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $6,250. Purse: 10,500.

4: Rickshaw Express (Goncalves, Tracy Jr.)119/8-1
5: Lil Bit Cagey (Mello, Martin)119/2-1
6: Poseidons Reign (Delorme, Butler)119/10-1
7: Rain On the Ice (Hernandez, Foley)123/9-2
RAIN ON ICE figures to be near the lead as he was with his runs down in Iowa; bullet drill on the local track and could improve with new venue. BEARING NORTH will be gathering ground late with the inside draw and should be within striking range in stretch run. LIL BIT CAGEY too will be closing late but will have to run race of his life to break maiden.
