SKYLAS GOLD had an ugly run on turf last out and gets back to the short sprint, where he won his past two. SARGE'S DAUGHTER is an alert gate-breaker who won at 5 furlongs last out. CONGRATULATE ME could make early noise with Stevens as pilot.

7: Aces High (Goncalves, Heitzmann)123/8-1
PINE GROVE has three consecutive wins and will use his muscle on the front end from the start. AWESOME EMMIT has two-race winning streak and owns excellent positional speed. HOLIDAY MISCHIEF will benefit from hotly contested fractions.

9: Sweet Proud Cat (Hernandez, Biehler)120/15-1
10: Brave One (Goncalves, Bethke)120/8-1
BRONK ran career best last out and is dealing with a softer field. TRIP BACK HOME trainer Ryan Bratcher has solid numbers with the angles. MAGIC WOLF will lead them as far as he can go.
6 About 11⁄16 miles. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $17,000
1: Best of the Bleu's (Goncalves, Sharp)123/4-1

13: Awesome Gordo (Stevens, Eikleberry)123/20-1
14: Factored In (Stevens, McFarlane)123/15-1
SWEEPING EDGE could fire off the brief layoff for the Rhone/Butler team, and at a healthy price. BUYMEABOND will be doing better in later stages. BEST OF THE BLEU'S has been a regular for the minor awards. Connections will draw money.
7 5½ furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $15,000. Purse: $13,500
1: Azaruk (Velazquez, Berndt)123/8-1

10: Dancin Nicky (Loveberry, Robertson)120/9-2
11: Sweet Proud Native (Mawing, Biehler)123/15-1
12: Toupp Ouoolle (Sanchez, Rhone)123/12-1
SMOOTH CRIMINAL cuts back in class and distance and returns to sprinting. DANCIN NICKY had an off-the-board effort on grass but return to sprinting on the main track could get him back to winner's circle. DRAMA IN DANUBE led the field to the wire last out.
8 About 5 Furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $13,500
1: Belle Meade Dancer (Loveberry, Robertson)124/8-5
2: Saygoodnight Mabel (Hamilton, Spencer)124/20-1
3: Kau (De'Oliveira, Foley)120/12-1

6: Hello Darling (Eikleberry, Eikleberry)120/9-2
7: Songatmidnight (Thompson, Mamakos)124/5-1
8: Andrea's Halo (Ziegler, Merrick)120/12-1
9: Western Berlin (Hernandez, Rengstorf)124/7-2
BELLE MEADE DANCER will be glued to the rail with Loveberry aboard. HELLO DARLING ships up from Prairie Meadows, trying the grass for first time in her brief career. Should keep top choice company up front. WESTERN BERLIN will loom as the late threat.
9 5½ Furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $5,000. Purse: $11,500
1: Midnight Zither (Goncalves, Lund)120/7-2
2: Nik Nak Paddy Wak (Butler, Sterling, Jr.)123/5-2
3: Charleys Eddy (Mojica, Diodoro)120/3-1
4: Samurai Mike (Stevens, Litfin)120/6-1
5: Over Ez (Eikleberry, Silva)120/8-1
6: Touch Vision (Bedford, Riecken)118/8-1
7: R Point Made (Mawing, Rarick)123/10-1
SAMURAI MIKE is light on winning form but always a battler. Not facing a group of monsters here, so I'll give him a shot at a square price. MIDNIGHT ZITHER was very game in capturing the win last out. NIK NAK PADDY WAK and CHARLES EDDY will duel for the lead from the start.
The ''Dark Side'' defense carried Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks to a Lombardi Trophy.
