6: My Streakin Runaway (Frink, Miller)124/6-1

7: Furriddle (Martinez, Martinez)126/8-1

8: Extreme Chick (Smith, Olmstead)126/9-2

CORONA OAK TREE broke awkwardly last out and should move forward with clean start. PANTHER PURRFECT drops a bit in class after failing to fire in this year's debut. First-time starter EXTREME CHICK might have found the right field to get win at first asking.

2 300 yards. 2-year-olds. Maiden claiming $12,500. Purse: $9,000.

7: Beautifulish (Martinez, Harris)122/12-1

8: A Mightee Good Time (Eikleberry, Hardy)122/5-1

In a field full of questions, I'll give the slight nod to THE FORBIDDEN CITY, who gave the best effort in first attempt of the four runners with a race under their belt. IZZY KANE and A MIGHTEE GOOD TIME share the marquee for best chance to score first time out.

3 400 yards. 3-year-olds. Derby. Purse: $15,000.

9: Readi to Be Famous (Swiontek, Hanson)124/8-1

10: Cr Strawflyn Bux (Shaw, Goodsell)124/5-1

DIRT ROAD QUEEN began her introduction here with a win two weeks back even after a bumpy start. MIDNIGHT TELLER finished strong to get up for the victory at last asking. JAKES NO FOOL too won last out, but it was last year; training well coming in.

4 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds. Allowance optional claiming $50,000. Purse: $28,500.

3: Sweet Sammie (Eikleberry, Bravo)120/10-1

4: She Can Ski (Hamilton, Bravo)120/8-1

5: Gratzie (Canchari, Robertson)122/2-1

GRATZIE is strictly the one to catch and beat after her 11-length margin victory last race. Best bet on the card. SKY AND SEA also won by 11-length margin drawing away from the field but will have to step it up a notch to keep up with top pick. SAMMIE'S TOUCH is my off-the-pace selection in case total meltdown occurs with our top two speedballs.

5 1 mile 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,500.

5: Brassy Touch (Hernandez, Ibarra)123/6-1

6: Miss Taylor K (Goodwin, Kirby)123/5-1

7: Not a Girlie Girl (Keith, Hanson)123/8-1

CITY KID had the win in her hand but lost nice lead at the end and landed in the second spot. Drop in level and lone speed makes her top billing. RODSTER had late surge for show money last out in first attempt on real dirt and merits respect with second effort. NOT A GIRLIE GIRL ran a dull effort in first race of the season but deserves another chance.

7: Break On Top (Goodwin, Rhone)123/8-1

8: G G's Silent Siege (Canchari, Robertson)123/5-1

GG'S SILENT SIEGE won last out, even if it was 9 months ago. Solid work tab coming in and gets nice outside post to sit off the expected screamin pace duel. HOLY WHITE SOCKS looked like she had the race in the bag last out with four-length lead before fading badly off the board; maybe she needed that run off return. LADY'S EDITION and SOUPER FOUR are must use on the tickets who will be rallying late.

6: Bigdaddywarbucks (Eikleberry, Van Winkle)123/9-2

7: Fifth Dimension (IRE) (Lopez, McFarlane)123/5-1

ONE FIRM CAT looks to be the cream of the crop of the sprinters in the field stretching out to a mile. FIFTH DIMENSION transfers off the turf after failing to fire last out and hoping to go up, up and away on the dirt. SAMENDRA closed very wide last effort, but that shouldn't be a issue here starting from the rail.
