Johnny Love's Saturday Canterbury Park line

Post time: 12:45 p.m. Best bet: Brilliant Notes (Race 9). Best play: 50-cent Pick 4, Race 7, (1,3,4,5,6/1,3,6,8,9,10/4/1,3,9), $45.

1  250 Yards. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden. Purse: $13,000

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Virgil Cole (Swiontek, Livingston)124/7-2

2: Pr Lady in Red (Delgado, Miller)124/1-1

3: Berry Quick (Klaiber, McKinley)126/9-2

4: Td Cartel Express (Velazquez, McKinley)124/6-1

6: Trigger Trash (F. Johnson, LaZarre)124/10-1

PR LADY IN RED has failed as the chalk last three out, for a trainer looking for first win. Maybe this is the day. TD CARTEL EXPRESS had brutal beginning last out and could be a handful with clean start. VIRGIL COLE has been third best last three efforts.

2  350 Yards. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $12,500. Purse: $9,000

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Valiant Dreams V (Velazquez, Olmstead)124/4-1

3: Famous Moonshadow (Delgado, Hardy)124/5-2

4: Go for Granite (Goodwin, Miller)124/9-2

5: Miss Courageous Lady (S. Ricardo, Hybsha)124/5-1

6: Ms Lilly Dash Zoom (Klaiber, Weidner)124/15-1

7: Minyun (Pinon, Willis)124/7-2

3  1 Mile. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Houdini Hill (Ramgeet, Fields)124/5-2

2: Strut N Swagger (Mojica, Diodoro)124/7-2

3: The Rock Rolls (Hernandez, Westermann)124/10-1

5: Hansboro (Mawing, Sweere)124/6-1

6: The Third Ace (Velazquez, Riecken)124/8-1

TRANSFORMATIVE has never raced this cheap and seduces Alex Canchari to ride. Should be effective at this level. HOUDINI HILL went gate-to-wire last out but loses Canchari to top choice. Lack of group early speed will make him the one to catch. STRUT N SWAGGER should prompt the pace a bit on the stretch-out but must dial it up to get the win.

4  About 7½ Furlongs. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $12,500. Purse: $30,000

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

2: Blackhawk's Sis (Hamilton, Robertson)122/9-2

3: Jeana Baby (Goodwin, Van Winkle)122/15-1

4: Miss Ocean Express (Lindsay, Donlin)120/12-1

5: Housemaker (Velazquez, Van Winkle)120/4-1

6: Granites Peak (Loveberry, Robertson)115/5-2

8: U'll Love This Cat (Mojica, Jr., Applegate)120/8-1

9: Razipat (Mojica, Biehler)119/10-1

10: Stellabrini (Sanchez, Donlin)120/20-1

11: My Crazy Dayse (Mojica, Riecken)124/10-1

GRANITES PEAK is one of two Mac Robertson runners in the field. Filly will come rolling late but presents slight concern of moderate fractions with no true speedster in field. Stablemate BLACKHAWK'S SIS, was allowance winner two back, then finished behind Granites Peak last out. Filly might be up with frontrunners. RAZIPAT might be the horse to run down to get the win. Versatile runner gives jockey options. HOUSEMAKER might enjoy the class drop.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Zero (Mojica, Rhone)124/6-1

2: Bye Bye Bennie (Lindsay, Sheehan)124/8-1

3: Proxima (Lopez, Jr., McKinley)124/10-1

4: Justfortherunofit (Hamilton, Sweere)124/5-1

6: Sweeping Edge (Loveberry, Rhone)119/7-5

RINO BOY went all on the lead two back at this distance against tougher. Didn't care for the turf last out, so draw a line through that race. SWEEPING EDGE got up for the win last out after a contaminated start. Win was more flattering, when runner-up came right back to get the gold. ZERO will need to transfer his efforts on the sod to the dirt to have a chance.

6  About 1 Mile. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: R Quick Temper (Velazquez, Rarick)120/20-1

3: Looking At Beauty (Mojica, Rhone)120/8-1

4: Tactical Girl (Hernandez, McShane)120/10-1

5: Emma Lea's Song (Sanchez, Silva)124/5-1

6: Perfect Paradise (Canchari, Fields)120/10-1

7: Chub's Charmer (Mawing, Westermann)122/15-1

9: Sweet Tango (Mojica, Jr., Bethke)120/15-1

10: Lynn Won't Tell (Hamilton, Robertson)120/4-1

11: Waytogo Trish (Loveberry, Arnett)122/6-1

PERFECT PARADISE gets aggressive jockey switch and looks to pull off the gate-to-wire upset. EMMA LEA'S SONG got a late-flying heads-up ride last out by Quincy Hamilton, getting up for the win. The duo might be figuring things out. BEAR FACTS came on strong late, too.

7  1 Mile. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming: $4,000. Purse: $12,500

1: True West (Hernandez, Westermann)124/6-1

2: Kluszewski (Canchari, Silva)124/6-1

3: Tanzen (Mojica, Diodoro)124/2-1

4: Misdeed (Mawing, Silva)124/5-2

5: Let Da Cowboy Rock (Loveberry, Donlin)124/8-1

MISDEED had four consecutive wins on the dirt before laying a egg in turf race last effort. Return to main track makes the gelding tough. TANZEN goes for three straight as the probable favorite, but facing slightly tougher opponents. ROB'S PAL and TRUE WEST are two other competitors who make the surface switch while facing better.

8  About 1 Mile 70 Yards. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $12,500. Purse: $13,500

8: Beer Sheriff (Canchari, Anderson)124/8-1

10: Meeting in Heaven (Hernandez, Gordon)124/12-1

11: Wissam (Sanchez, Sharp)119/12-1

SHARPENER is a newly purchased gelding for Robertino Diodoro, out of the West Coast circuit, where he ran against mush stronger. MAN OF SWORD won two back on the local turf, before finishing dead last in allowance race on the dirt. Been freshened up with a superior work. BEER SHERIFF came up a length short after angling six wide to the finish. Looms as late closing threat.
