TRES MT TRACKS has had a positive 2013 campaign hitting the board in all four starts. V O s RED HOT COLE stumbled badly out of the gate last out taking him out of the race; won two back under mild urging. RIDICULOUS weakened last out after making money in four starts.

10: Streak N Talent (Buening, Haglund)122/10-1

SPORTWAGON seeks to break maiden today after knocking on the door in five starts coming close. FURYS SOL dueled but was out finished in debut; should fire right back. IRISH BREW just missed by a nose finishing strong last out.

7: Quote to Cash (Ocampo, Robertson)121/12-1

8: Ragged Edge (Escobar, Rhone)121/5-1

MACK'S TIGER PAW has ability to put away the field as he did last out winning by over nine lengths in front running fashion; strictly the one to beat. SUGAR BUSINESS should get ground saving trip with the inside draw and leading jockey Butler hopping aboard. SUN COUNTRY will keep top pick company up front with good early speed after coming off a gate-to-wire victory.

5: Sam Wayne (Martin, Riecken)123/12-1

6: Heliskier (Shepherd, Robertson)123/1-1

HELISKIER came back strong in third start of the season after a bad stumble to begin the meet and a place turf effort; 2012 Horse of the Year is the most logical single on the card. LIMO could be the one to catch with a speed favoring inside draw. JOST VAN DYKE invades from Arlington off the turf and is one of four starters in the field coming from the Robertson barn.

6: Bad River Belle (Goodwin, Rhone)117/6-1

8: Crimsonexpectation (Ocampo, Rengstorf)117/12-1

ROCKIN THE BLEU'S won easily in debut as the heavy favorite and is the one to catch starting from the rail; many of today's rivals come out of same race. SHE CAN SKI too won easily last out by seven lengths; should give Rockin The Blue's all she can handle up front early and throughout. BLUMIN SWEETHEART is my choice to take over in case of pace meltdown.

HOLY KEONI wheels right back after winning seven days ago under cruise control; gets tougher assignment today so we'll get a chance to see what's really under the hood. ORANGE THUNDER led throughout before drawing clear of the field by over eight lengths while breaking his maiden in second start. A P IS LOOSE attempts sprinting on the dirt after a couple of show money efforts on the lawn.

6: Blues Edge (Butler, Rhone)116/6-1

7: Keewatin Ice (Rivera, Scherer)118/8-1

Most evenly matched race on the card but give the nod to CONGRATS AND ROSES who has been freshened up with some decent works since arriving from Arlington; won this race last year by 11 lengths. GO GO JILL jumps off the turf with good early foot and could decide to be the big toe leading the field up front. BADGE OF GLORY seeks third straight win and has worked well. IT'S TAMARENO is late closing threat.

5: Tubby Time (Shepherd, Robertson)118/5-1

6: Sue's Stormy (Martin, Rengstorf)116/10-1

COCONINO SLIM will be pursued by the field as possible lone front runner with hot jockey Canchari aboard in defending the Classic title. BOBBLE DOIT has good early speed and should keep front runner alert by pressing the pace sitting off his heels; improved last out winning on the turf. JACK'S TIGER, GHOST DANCE, and EVERT merit respect.

8: Top Vow (Stevens, Van Winkle)116/12-1

10: Dear Fay (Shepherd, Robertson)121/9-2

HAPPY HOUR HONEY grabs the rail and figures to fire out of the gate and shoot to the front with Butler aboard; concern is hooking up in speed duel with outside runners. TALKIN BOUT failed to threaten last out but should return to old form making late charge at expected quick fractions. SWEET TANGO and DEAR FAY will press the pace but have to worry about getting hung out to dry on first turn starting from far outside posts.
