#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Pollitical Eye Apeal (Goodwin,Hardy)122/9-2

2: Td Cartel Express (Cruz, McKinley)122/12-1

3: Ima Blazin Hombre (Pinon,Johnson)122/7-2

5: Jess a Rumor (Rosier, Weidner)122/10-1

6: Its Crunch Tyme (Velazquez,Olmstead)122/5-2

7: Pr Lady in Red (Clark, Jr., Miller)122/8-1

8: Brooklyn Decker (Clark, Harris)122/15-1

PR LADY IN RED ran her best race yet last out and merits respect at a price. JESS A RUMOR made late bid to get up for show dollars and appears to be on the upswing. FAMOUS LEE was pinched at the break and deserves another chance.

2 220 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $12,500. Purse: $9,250.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Shesa Shazoom (Goodwin, Hardy)124/6-1

2: Pepper Potts (Pinon, Johnson)124/4-1

3: Ls Jessisarunner (Clark, Jr., Miller)126/15-1

4: Kiss Me Im Country (Swiontek,Hanson)124/12-1

5: Hollands Royal Hussy (Clark, Hardy)124/12-1

6: Eye Just Speed (Cruz, Campos)124/6-1

7: Jessie Miss Six (Rosier, Rengstorf)126/20-1

8: Expensive Paint Job (Velazquez, Olmstead)124/9-5

9: Wishful Thinking (Delgado,Laymon)126/8-1

EXPENSIVE PAINT JOB is usually in the hunt and might have found ideal spot to finally get his first win. PEPPER POTTS is alert gate-breaker and could be tough to catch in this short dash with clean start. SHESA SHAZOOM has been outfinished last two out and should appreciate the cutback in distance.

3 About 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming: $5,000. Purse: $17,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Alpine Gathering (Ramgeet, Fields)123/6-1

2: Tiger D (A.Canchari, Rhone)123/5-1

3: Alvear (Goodwin, Scherer)123/7-5

4: Houdini Hill (Coddington, Fields)123/8-1

5: Jungle Java (Mojica, Diodoro)123/7-2

6: Foolhardy (Butler, Donlin, Jr.)123/6-1

ALVEAR is talented enough to sit near the pace for first strike on the frontrunners and should be set stepping down in class. FOOLHARDY will do his best running late and gets positive jockey switch to Butler. JUNGLE JAVA is probably destined to duel on the lead with ALPINE GATHERING, and might last longer than most think. Strong connections will draw demand at the betting windows.

4 About 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $20,000. Purse: $14,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Handsome Heart (A.Canchari, Tracy Jr.)118/10-1

2: Glory Kingdom (Velazquez, Brinson)118/6-1

3: Streakin Schiller (S.Bethke, Biehler)123/20-1

4: Bluffs Edge (Butler, Rhone)123/3-1

5: Clear the Way (Ramgeet, Diodoro)118/2-1

6: The Checotah Kid (Goodwin, Riecken)123/20-1

7: English Gent (Escobar, Biehler)123/20-1

8: Kilarney Blarney (Nolan, McFadden)123/15-1

9: Boombosh (Mojica, Rhone)118/5-1

10: Jolly Mon (Hernandez, Oliver)118/15-1

CLEAR THE WAY drops a notch and will be tagging along in midpack before making his move on the stretch run. BLUFFS EDGE has been knocking on the door with his late bids and will be in the picture when things unfold. BOOMBOSH might be a little more involved from the bell, prompting a brisk pace.

5 About 5 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $30,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Call Me Bubba (Ramgeet, Kirby)123/12-1

2: I'm a Lawman (Butler, Robertson)118/3-1

3: Never Hide (Hernandez, Bolinger)123/5-1

4: Sir Navigator (A.Canchari, Robertson)123/5-1

5: Jifquick (Mojica, Litfin)123/7-2

6: Holiday Touch (Rosier, Tracy Jr.)123/6-1

7: The Zip Zip Man (Velazquez, Stidham)118/4-1

I'M A LAWMAN could prove tough with the transfer of surfaces and his lightning speed. Candidate for win honors with a ton of room for development. Stablemate SIR NAVIGATOR ran well enough in debut to take seriously. THE ZIP MAN's lone turf effort was a Grade 3 event, where he showed brief early speed in two-turn event before tiring. Training smartly for trainer Stidham and should be set today. JIFQUICK is a must use with two wins in last three starts.

6 5 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $12,500. Purse: $14,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Wishihada (Velazquez, Berndt)119/5-2

2: Fifty Curls (Goodwin, Donlin Jr.)123/8-1

3: Ranger's Dream (Butler, Rhone)123/6-1

4: Get Cozzy (Mojica, Bravo)123/5-1

5: Gratzie (A.Canchari, Robertson)123/3-1

6: Smoke City (Rosier, Tracy Jr.)119/10-1

7: Zenergy (Hernandez, McFarlane)119/9-2

WISHIHADA plunges in class to lowest level of her career and should be set to fire out of the gate with the inside draw. GRATZIE comes off the extended layoff with some solid works in preparation for her comeback. Might hook up in early duel with top choice with her quick turn of foot. GET COZZY didn't appreciate the muddy surface last out would love nothing more than a dry track to get back to the winner's circle. Made quite an impression three back when she went gate-to-wire in five length victory.

7 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $20,000. Purse: $13,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Fabulous Dahl (Nolan, Litfin)123/20-1

2: Missmolly (Ramgeet, Padilla)119/8-1

3: Flylikadiva (Mojica, Donlin, Jr.)123/5-1

4: Smoken Danni (Goodwin, Sheehan)119/20-1

5: Adorkable (Joubert, Hanson)123/7-2

6: Love Fire (Becerra, Backhaus)119/20-1

7: Rodeoactive (A.Canchari,Broberg)119/9-2

8: Kitten Edition (Coddington, Diodoro)119/10-1

9: Anzoo (Butler, McShane)119/4-1

10: Blues Lil Pegasus (S.Bethke, Van Winkle)119/20-1

11: One Smoken Gale (Velazquez, L.Rarick)123/8-1

FLYLIKADIVA got off to a slow start, hustled up, then faded badly late in the game. Strictly one to catch with jockey Mojica aboard imploring the mare to hold on to the wire. ADORKABLE ran one of her better races last out as the runner-up against a tough foe, tough to put on top with 1-for-25 record. Both ANZOO and KITTEN EDITION exit maiden-breaking wins and appear to be progressing in the right direction. Little separates this large group.

8 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Warren's Dr. Boo (S.Bethke, Rickert)123/15-1

2: Take It Like a Man (Nolan, W.Rarick)123/12-1

3: Kraftig (Butler, Donlin)123/8-1

4: Life a Riley (Castro, Silva)123/9-2

5: Redneck Richie (Lopez,Jr., Cole)123/6-1

6: Fudge E (Ortega, Robertson)123/4-1

7: Rodriguez (Hernandez, Diodoro)123/7-5

RODRIGUEZ has solid tracking speed and should have the perfect set-up with expected quick fractions in his view. LIFE A RILEY and KRAFTIG mount the late closing threats and will be flattered by the speed in front of them when they come flying late. REDNECK RICHIE will be part of the fight up front and is coming off a dueling win out of state.

9 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Aintnomisbehavin (P.Canchari,Turco)123/12-1

2: Hidden Key (Castro, Berndt)123/7-2

3: Cantaffordanother (Hernandez, Van Winkle)123/4-1

4: Gold Cup Skier (Butler, Bravo)123/5-2

5: Im a Southern Diva (Velazquez, Walker)123/8-1

6: My Place Or Yours (Mojica, Litfin)123/3-1

7: Spell Winder (A.Canchari, Donlin)123/12-1

GOLD CUP SKIER is strictly the one to beat after her large-margin victory last out. Anything close to that performance makes her extremely difficult to beat. MY PLACE OR YOURS is most likely main threat to Gold Cup Skier but will have to step it up a notch to pull off the upset. The mare is devoted to the lead and will try to shake loose from her rivals. HIDDEN KEY and CANTAFFORDANOTHER are best options to fill in the exotic plays. Expect Hidden Key to come out smoking and challenging for the lead.

10 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $20,000. Purse: $13,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Proxima (Shaw, Wolff)119/3-1

2: Manlee Spirit (A.Canchari,Peters)123/5-1

3: The Gent Is a Cat (Velazquez, Van Winkle)119/8-1

4: Shady Shadow (Butler, Turco)123/5-2

5: Ghazablanca (Clark, McKinley)123/12-1

6: Macho Storm (S.Bethke,T.Bethke)123/12-1

7: Unique Gold (Ramgeet,Van Winkle)123/7-2

PROXIMA went start to finish last out on the lead and will attempt to duplicate that performance. Might have been compromised by muddy track so rate higher with moisture on the surface. UNIQUE GOLD got his first win last out after escorting the pace and taking over at the halfway mark. SHADY SHADOW is lone sprinter stretching out to two turns and has a fighting chance with Butler as the pilot.
