2: Moon Track (Velazquez, Scherer)124/7-2

3: Awesome Emmit (Mojica, Bravo)124/6-1

6: Sitbackrelaxenjoy (Keith, Biehler)124/2-1

7: Ready Cat (Butler, McShane)124/12-1

8: Bandini Moon (Shepherd, House)124/15-1

ANXIOUS DREAMS has been on the bench for 10 months but has been training sharply for a strong outfit. SITBACKRELAXENJOY has been runner-up last two out and is the probable favorite at post. Expect jockey Lori Keith to have the gelding forwardly placed, ready to pounce on the leaders. MOON TRACK has a fondness for running in a merry-go-round affair and might be best used underneath.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Cindy Sails Away (Lindsay, Anderson)124/15-1

2: Promising Shoes (Shepherd, Hornsby)118/20-1

3: Flashy Travis (Loveberry, Nolen)124/7-2

4: The Jeckle (Mawing, Nolen)124/9-2

6: Unlikely Story (Sanchez, Metz)118/2-1

7: Crown Me Royal (Hernandez, Riecken)124/12-1

8: Gumshoe (Delorme, Rengstorf)124/6-1

9: Reno Heat (Evans, Silva)118/8-1

UNLIKELY STORY is strictly the one to beat after breaking his maiden in Canterbury debut over similar company. GUMSHOE is the one to catch to get the win, as sprinter stretches out to routing for the first time on the local track. FLASHY TRAVIS lost his rider last out after a bumpy start and deserves another shot.

1: Captain of Summer (Evans, Wiley)124/20-1

2: Flashed (Sanchez, Anderson)124/10-1

3: Duoos' Wild (Lindsay, Silva)119/8-1

4: Be Real Quiet (Johnson, McFadden)119/30-1

9: Dixie Native Ruler (Mawing, Silva)119/15-1

10: Brodeo (M. Escobar, Rhone)119/12-1

12: Bring Your Alibi (Hernandez, Westermann)119/12-1

13: Dark Captain (Loveberry, Wiley)124/15-1

TRAINED WRECK JACK improved greatly to start his 2017 campaign and now drops for half the price. Like his progress to pull off the mild upset. ALITTLEBITTWISTED was a well-bet disappointment in his two starts last year for the Robertson barn but has an encouraging work tab. Connections will make him the favorite. CAPTAIN OF SUMMER should exhibit early speed from the rail. Has burned a lot of money, so little tough to put on top.

2: First Hunter (Loveberry, Robertson)117/3-1

3: Fiona Cat (Mawing, Scherer)117/4-1

4: Thunder and Honey (Butler, Robertson)117/8-1

5: Blazing Angel (Velazquez, Scherer)117/20-1

6: Honey's Sox Appeal (Canchari, Robertson)123/5-2

8: Sweet Tango (Acosta, Bethke)117/12-1

9: Sioux Appeal (Butler, Robertson)117/6-1

10: Stellabrini (Delorme, Donlin)117/15-1

Team Robertson has three entries for the Minnesota Turf Distaff, so take your pick. HONEY'S SOX APPEAL tries the turf experiment today but has a decent size class edge over her rivals, making her my top choice. Looked sharp winning stakes race here on May 20th. Stablemates FIRST HUNTER and THUNDER HONEY, will be her main rivals coming from off the pace. First Hunter has the turf experience and will pressing the pace from opening bell.

6 Dark Star Cup S. 6½ Furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. G Stakes. Purse: $50,000

1: Rated R Superstar (Butler, McPeek)117/3-1

2: Helooksthepart (Loveberry, Diodoro)117/4-1

3: Shrewd Move (Goodwin, McFarlane)121/8-1

4: Wings Locked Up (Mojica, Stuart)121/5-2

5: Saturdaynitelites (Mawing, Rarick)117/8-1

7: Flat Black (Joubert, Williams)117/12-1

WINGS LOCKED UP is lone speed in the Dark Star Cup, and could be long gone if goes unchallenged on the lead. R RATED SUPERSTAR cuts back in distance with a strong class edge over his opponents. Gets the service of Butler aboard, who might show more early initiative with the inside draw. WABEL will be uncorking his big run a little tardy but looms the late closing threat with Canchari as the pilot.

7 Minnesota Turf S. About 7½ Furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. G Stakes. Purse: $50,000

1: Pennant Fever (Joubert, Hanson)117/20-1

3: Two Chance (Delorme, Kirby)117/8-1

4: Richard Thomas (Goodwin, Scherer)117/10-1

5: Speed Is Life (Ramgeet, Oliver)117/6-1

6: Bourbon County (Canchari, Robertson)117/7-2

7: A P Is Loose (Butler, Robertson)117/9-5

9: Plenty of Sun (Mojica, Lund)117/12-1

10: Where's Jordan (Mawing, Peters)117/15-1

A.P. IS LOOSE loves the home turf course and will be tough to hold off, carrying his speed to the stretch run in the Minnesota Turf Stakes. BOURBON COUNTY held second last out on a sloppy track and will try to get back to winning ways on the turf. Expect a better performance than his last effort on the local turf course. PLENTY OF SUN ran a strong third last week after jumping in the air at the break. Love the confidence of trainer Valorie Lund, wheeling her gelding back quickly.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

2: Eclat (I. Hernandez, Westermann)124/10-1

6: Diamond Rowe (Loveberry, Nolen)119/8-1

8: Going Platinum (Butler, Turco)124/15-1

9: All American Man (Keith, Biehler)124/20-1

10: Regal Reign (Acosta, Diodoro)124/6-1

11: Frisco (Lindsay, Silva)124/3-1

SASSTALK drops to lowest level of his career jumping off a so-so turf effort. Should sit off the pace while letting others sacrifice themselves up front. FRISCO has a couple of wins on his record but for the most part, has a knack for the minor awards. Must use on your horizontal tickets. REGAL REIGN will be vying for command on the lead from the get-go. Has a win two back in gate to wire fashion.

1: La Tormenta (Butler, Bravo)119/9-2

2: Fabulous Dahl (Shepherd, Litfin)124/15-1

3: Jeana Baby (Velazquez, Van Winkle)124/6-1

4: Rodeoactive (Canchari, Broberg)124/10-1

7: Precious Passion (Goodwin, Riecken)124/10-1

8: Double Bee Sting (Loveberry, Rengstorf)119/6-1

JENNA BABY has faced much better in her brief career and has a couple of quick drills in preparation off the long absence. LINE OF GRACE was second best in allowance race and is a candidate to move forward second off the layoff. LA TORMENTA got her first win two weeks back and appears to have a lot of positive for the summer meet.
