4: Hidden Fury (Richard, Hybsha)126/8-1
5: Eyeowa Cyclone (Smith, Hunt)126/6-1
6: Call as Maybe (Delorme, Hunt)124/5-1
EYE SPIT A GIRL figures to be the best today after impressive win in stakes race last out. CALL AS MAYBE ran career best last out and is main threat to favorite. DIRT ROAD QUEEN has been second-best past two efforts.

7: Apollitical Flight(Swiontek, Livingston)124/7-2
8: Cierra Jade (Richard, Johnson)124/10-1
9: Walley (Martinez, Berg)124/8-1
PAINTED STORM CAT deserves another chance after being a nonfactor in the slop last out. APOLLITICAL FLIGHT has been a consistent money-maker and narrowly missed the win last race. THREE HOT DREAMS should improve with clean start.

8: Corona Rattler (Swiontek, Livingston)124/12-1
9: O Ya (Torres, Charette-Hill)124/8-1
FEATURE A RUNAWAY came on strong to settle for a dead-heat victory in the Canterbury Derby. O YA lead the whole way in breaking her maiden with her ninth attempt. YOUR JUST JESSE stumbled out of the gate in the Canterbury Derby and never recovered; should bounce back today.

9: Myperfectsoulmate (Sanchez, Westermann)118/20-1
JOE DUNK IN has a strong series of works coming in for his unveiling today for a trainer who likes to win with his first-timers. Trainer Michael Biehler sends out roommates CHESTNUT JOHNNY and WILEY WIZARD for their initiation today. Both have been training smartly.

4: Princess Dinah (Sanchez, adilla)121/9-2
5: Off the Screen (Goodwin, Riecken)119/4-1
6: My Winchester Lady (Butler, Bravo)123/5-2
STARLET STELLA has a lot of upside coming off impressive win last out while drawing away from the field. MY WINCHESTER LADY suffered through a wide trip last out before fading down the stretch; reunites with jockey Dean Butler, who won as a team in first career start. Expect ROCKIN THE BLEU'S and SAMMIE'S TOUCH to show early initiative sitting off the pace for first assault on pace setter.

11: Correspondence (Lopez Jr., McFadden)123/30-1
12: Deemie (Martinez, Litfin)123/15-1
13: Cin Cin Citi (Sanchez, Anderson)123/30-1
Fickle group to separate. BE MY HONEYCOMB deserves another shot after being declared a non-starter after major gate issues in her first attempt on the grass. LEMONSRGOODONGRASS likely to be post-time favorite but is 0-11 on the turf; it's possibly now-or-never time. GRACIAS TI is likely to dictate the pace and could surprise if sneaks away with a leisurely pace.

11: Hatties Jewel (Vergara, Van Winkle)118/10-1
12: Dakota Native (Velazquez, Tracy Jr.)118/12-1
PENSADOR only shows four works leading up to to his first start but last two were done quickly at four furlongs. JUSTCALLME CHARLIE has the advantage of having a race under his belt in this young group of maidens; broke slow but still rushed up for place honors. THE SAINT and SMOOTH CHIRAZ are two more new shooters and are logical threats with some strong works.

9: Control Tower (Sanchez, Keen)119/10-1
10: Number Five (Vergara, O'Callaghan)119/15-1
WARONTHEHOMEFRONT was talented enough to save ground on the rail and burst through to get the win last out after getting blocked by a wall of front-runners. Keeps getting better each race. CARIBBEAN STORM ran second to Waronthehomefront after chasing the pace throughout; key factor on the front end once again. BEYOND COMPARE suffered minor traffic troubles in same race; expect to bring up the rear at a square price.

6: Hi Five Cy (Eikleberry, Lund)117/8-1
7: Hold for More (Butler, Bravo)122/1-5
HOLD FOR MORE is tried and true with four consecutive wins coming in and is strictly the one to beat. HI FIVE CY could improve with clean break but will have to step it up tremendously to beat the chalk. SPRING TRAINING rallied three wide to get the win last out.

SUMMER SWING has hit the board in all four starts including second-best last three out; hopefully it's not a trend. Mac Robertson sends out stablemates PINK BUBBLE and IM STILL AROCKSTAR, both working well for their initiations.
