1: Concorde's Rebel (Stevens, Rhone)119/8-1

2: Secretaire (Escobar, Brinson)119/5-1

6: Crazycoop (Aguilar, Cole)123/9-2

7: Pumpkin Pusher (Eikleberry, Van Winkle)119/3-1

CONCORDE'S REBEL moves down in class to lowest level of his brief career, adds the blinkers and works a bullet drill in training. Should be set to fire for the Rhone barn. INDY MISSION and PUMPKIN PUSHER should show early speed but are a combined 0-for-forever; good for underneath bets.

2 7½ furlongs. Turf. 2-year-olds. Maiden special weight. Purse: $25,000.

1: Offers Are Cheap (Shaw, C. Smith)118/10-1

2: Hrishi Suprem (Swiontek, Bethke)113/12-1

4: Blessed Life (Rivera, Porter)118/10-1

5: At My Discretion (Eikleberry, Lund)118/7-2

7: Enact (Stevens, Schnell)115/4-1

8: Passing the Grade (Martin, House)115/6-1

9: Blue Star Cat (Keith, Biehler)118/10-1

A field with many questions makes this a good betting race. BRICK ALLEY was a well-bet disappointment in debut but should improve second time out with the surface switch to turf for the Robertson/Canchari duo. AT MY DISCRETION will run on the lawn for the first time after running in holding pattern behind front-runners in dirt sprint debut. IDLING seems to be the pace-setter in today's field; beaten favorite last out finishing off the board.

3 5 furlongs. Turf. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $27,000.

1: Makinmymark (Barton, Lund)123/8-1

2: Mia Bee A (A. Canchari, Robertson)119/6-1

3: Tempe (Shepherd, Schnell)119/6-1

4: Holly in April (Ocampo, Robertson)123/8-1

5: Jills Summer Raine (Butler, Oliver)123/10-1

7: Lady Joburg (Stevens, Rhone)123/8-1

8: Gracias (Eikleberry, Silva)123/7-2

9: Miss Frigidaire (Martin, McKenzie)123/6-1

MIA BEE A flashed early speed on the turf two back before fading to third. Gets nice inside draw today to fire, and trainer Mac is hitting 47 percent with turf sprints this meet. Mac's other runner, HOLLY IN APRIL, gave way badly in lone turf start after leading early. Should enjoy cutback in distance. GRACIAS, VISUAL BLESSING and TEMPE are tough to separate and will be in the mix early and late.

4 1 mile, 70 yards. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $11,000.

1: Alphabets Tuff Gal (Stevens, Porter)123/12-1

10: Lucky Gem (Hernandez, Pfeifer)118/12-1

11: Crimson Bird (Barton, House)123/20-1

13: Elegant Affair (Shaw, Suter)123/12-1

MINNESOTA THUNDER will run at lowest level of her career tonight coming off some turf efforts. Likes to sit off the pace and should get perfect setup with enough early speed in the field. TAPITINTIME stretches out after splitting foes at six furlongs to get up for the win against tougher. It's promising that jockey Keith jumps off rival to remain aboard. OKRA WIND FREE will be rolling late as the logical off-the-pace threat.

5 5½ furlongs. 2-year-olds. Maiden special weight. Purse: $25,000.

6: Distorted Ballad (Velazquez, Hartman)118/20-1

7: Rockin Home (Rivera, Van Winkle)118/6-1

9: Bint Julep (Ocampo, Anderson)118/6-1

REAL GUSTO led throughout duel in debut before getting outfinished at the wire and losing by a head. Should fire right back as the pace-setter. RODRIGUEZ got up for third behind top pick after green start and troubled trip for debut. Educational race should have 2-year-old ready. BINT JULEP could be dangerous invader from Iowa flying from the outside.

6 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse: $9,000.

10: Broken Connection (Arroyo, Donlin)123/30-1

11: Mr. Tango (A. Canchari, Wolff)123/12-1

AUGMENT proved he can run until the cows come home, setting the pace in a two-mile jaunt at Prairie Meadows before wearing down and landing in the show money. Should appreciate distance relief here. WINNINGCHEROKEE has been on the bench since May but has been freshened up since; top performances has been two turns on the dirt. VICTORY CHECK ran second last out in best score of the year; could be on upswing.

7 6½ furlongs. State-bred. Fillies and mares. Allowance. Purse: $32,400.

6: Jack and Max (Velazquez, Scherer)121/7-2

7: Littlebrownroad (Shepherd, Berndt)119/4-1

8: Colorado Trail (Ocampo, McShane)121/8-1

With all the front-runners in the field, this race sets up perfectly for JACK AND MAX, who will be rolling late. Won at this distance two back flying five-wide and swooping in. R SKYDIVER has hit the money gimmicks in eight of past nine starts. Has ability to sit off the pace for first attack. LITTLEBROWNROAD is another deep closing threat.
