6: Itsallaboutme (Suarez Ricardo, Bloomquist)124/9-2

7: Eyesa Playmate (Swiontek, Livingston)124/8-1

JUSTA BUMP has been in the money gimmicks in all five starts but yet to break maiden. Tonight should be the time. AFTERALLITSEASY could improve after slow beginning last out. ITSALLABOUTME closed well and now drops for half the price.

2 350 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Optional claiming $10,000. Purse: $14,000.

9: A Lil Diva (Luark, Olmstead)126/10-1

10: Lil Chicks Corona (Olesiak, Johnson)124/15-1

SAVING SHIRLEY gets the stamp of approval with the strong class edge over rivals. TUCAN SAM deserves another chance after not enjoying muddy track last out. COWBOY KUDZU and JESS GLORY are must-use after gate and breaking issues last efforts.

3 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming$20,000. Purse: $14,500.

5: Sense of Duty (Hamilton, Van Winkle)119/6-1

7: Dapper n' Suave (Olesiak, Peters)123/12-1

BLUE BOMBER stalked wide last out before fading badly but might find himself on the lead as lone pace setter at soft fractions. INDY AWESOME and MASS AND ENERGY will be late closing threats but trouble looms if not much pace to cut loose on. SENCE OF DUTY debuts with outside chance.

4 11⁄16 miles. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming$20,000. Purse: $20,000.

5: Runandyrun (Martin, Shaw)123/8-1

6: Noah and O (Hamilton, Padilla)123/8-1

7: Why Frank (Rivera, Oliver)123/9-2

I'll give SQUARE DANCER another shot despite being a well-beaten favorite last effort. Back to the drawing board with a couple of nice works coming in. CORPORATE CHARLIE could show early initiative with Eikleberry aboard with lack of speed in the field. TO THE STARS was forced wide last out but looks to improve rolling late gathering momentum starting from the rail.

5 7½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming $7,500. Purse: $17,000.

6: Terice (Martin, Litfin)123/6-1

7: Blues Edge (Escobar, Rhone)119/8-1

8: Adonica (Keith, Biehler)119/6-1

VON NEZ gets huge class relief in effort to get first win in over a year. Figures to be in the hunt early with terrific position pressing the pace. ACRAPIAN steps down in class and distance after failing to fire in meet's debut. HEATOFTHESTORM should be tough first off the claim with three quick works. RECLUSIVE got off slow but finished extremely well last out. Look for better start and sent hard early.

6 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,500.

11: Misscomplicated (Arroyo, Silva)123/12-1

12: Demi's No Trump (Castro, Flores)123/20-1

PURE UNION looked like she was going to be a a winner in her inauguration but failed to push past the 15-1 winner that day. Anything close to that effort puts her in the mix in this delicate group. GRAZEN GOLD and WHERE'S ALAYNA drop from maiden special weight after uninspiring efforts.

7 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse: $9,500.

9: Briteburg (Canchari, Canchari)123/8-1

10: Human Eraser (Lopez, Rarick)123/20-1

LISTEN YOU FOOL has good tactical speed and should take advantage of it starting from the rail with no early foot to his outside. SO SHINY takes another drop in class to turn things around while trying to get first victory in nearly two years. ROCKY TIGER will be running late coming off a a couple of place efforts.

9: Gold Country Cat (Stevens, Van Winkle)123/10-1

10: Hard Nosed (Goodwin, Riecken)123/8-1

IN JEOPARDY looks to be ready for this summer's meet with a few sharp drills for the Rhone barn. GALLANT GENT has been a money-maker the past four starts including a win. ONE FIRM CAT should appreciate the cutback in distance after fading last out at a mile. REDNECK RICHIE will be involved early and destined to duel on the class drop.

8: Get Back Man (Shepherd, Rarick)119/6-1

10: Pendulum (Hamilton, Padilla)123/7-2

PENDULUM circled the field last out for the win as the chalk and will be tough again if runs back to that effort. RAINIER MISSILE won last out gate-to-wire by over nine lengths. Tougher field here and will have company up front knocking heads. CHOO CHOO CHARLIE deserves respect as a tried-and-true grizzly veteran.

10: Krazy for Kugel (Eikleberry, Silva)123/7-2

11: Hidden Edge (Keith, Biehler)123/6-1

The most wide-open race of the evening where all combatants have a fighting chance. KRAZY FOR KRUGEL gets the tepid nod coming off a wide rallying win last out against similar. AMAZINGLY KAREN drops to career lowest level on the stretch out. MOLLY McCRACKEN and HAWKEYE HONEY deserve mention as major contestants second off the layoff.
