4: Somerset Cowboy (Butler, Donlin)118/7-2

6: Kentucky Shot (Brown, Backhaus)123/15-1

7: Rapid Business (Velazquez, Scherer)123/9-5

SOMERSET COWBOY plunges in class and stretches out to two turns for first time; prone to slow beginnings. RAPID BUSINESS too tries route racing after couple of sprints and a backward step last out. Morning line price ranks too low for me. GHAZABLANCA drops in off the turf and is one of two veterans in this field at this distance.

2 1 mile 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $11,000.

8: Bet the Bank (Bell, Chambers)123/5-1

9: Bandini's Dream (Butler, Lund)123/7-2

BANDINI'S DREAM should take advantage of expected speed duel to the inside of him after edging forward last out at this distance to grab second. BAND OF SILENCE and FERMIN Es ELEGANTE are expected to scramble up front at a hot pace so expect a quick tempo.

3 5 1/2 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $12,000.

10: Blarney d'Or (Goodwin, Brueggemann)123/7-2

11: Buccella (Eikleberry, Lund)123/6-1

GAIL'S JEWEL stalked the pace before driving away to victory after a lengthy absence; steps up a slight level today. BLARNEY D' OR is a consistent late runner who would enjoy viewing a contested pace up front. SPEAKERS ACTION will gun it off the rail; versatile mare won two back.

14: Wonder Country (Shepherd, Berndt)123/10-1

15: Adonica (Keith, Biehler)119/10-1

DE NOVO has best overall numbers in the field along with class edge, making the filly the one to beat. Has tactical speed to get going early from the outside and sit behind the pace for first attack. OF ROYALTY will try the turf once again as the likely frontrunner; last two grass races were switched to the main track because of rain. MISS FRIGIDAIRE took a big step forward on the surface switch to turf last out, getting nipped late at this distance.

14: Don't Bluff (A. Canchari, Robertson)123/9-2

15: George Ray (Eikleberry, Padilla)119/8-1

BEAT YOU BLUFF gets the slight nod in this closely matched large field; stalked before pouncing on frontrunners, driving to four length win last out on the lawn. CHISNEAU was a tad flat facing stronger and running longer last out and should enjoy facing rivals on his level at a shorter distance. PORFIDO has class edge but might prefer running marathon turf races. DON'T BLUFF is a must use if gets in off also-entered list.
