6: Royal Bluff (Shino, Pfeifer)123/8-5

7: Gold for Broke (Velazquez, Danger)119/12-1

ROYAL BLUFF's winless streak should end tonight with her 17th effort. Has been a money-making machine for the minor awards but seems to have found the ideal group here in the drop from maiden special weight. BELLE OF HEARTS ran her best performance last out for second. TICK'S SHADOW will be the one to catch with decent early speed.

2 About 7½ furlongs. Turf. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $18,000.

3: De Novo (Keith, Biehler)119/2-1

8: Flying Lelin (Rivera, Rarick)123/20-1

9: Cap and Trade (Shepherd, Bravo)123/5-1

BLUEGRASS LUCY gets the slight nod with with her stalking style; should enjoy cutting back in distance with Butler remaining aboard. Lost as heavy favorite last out to next out winner. MISS MY ROSIE will be rolling late and is logical late-closing threat; should enjoy class relief after facing tougher all summer. DE NOVO has good early foot to make a presence early but hasn't seen the winner's circle in a year.

3 About 7½ furlongs. Turf. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $12,500. Purse: $13,000.

2: Policio (Rivera, Mankin)123/5-1

3: Khaled Again (A. Canchari, Robertson)119/3-1

4: Chatty Lou (Goodwin, L. Canchari)123/20-1

5: Barcelona Kid (Ocampo, Rengstorf)123/12-1

6: Forest Colors (Velazquez, Scherer)123/15-1

7: Pirate's Dare (P. Canchari, L. Canchari)119/20-1

8: Bandini's Star (Olesiak, Bolinger)123/20-1

9: Six Pack Attack (Shino, Martinez)123/12-1

10: Hawkeye Jimmie (Hernandez, Jones)114/8-1

11: Private Warrior (Shepherd, Robertson)123/6-1

12: Levy (Butler, Brueggemann)123/7-2

13: Thepointman (Hernandez, Rengstorf)118/20-2

KHALED AGAIN deserves to be the slight favorite in this wide-open race after finishing in the top two with both his lawn efforts; has been working well for trainer Robertson and should be tough to fend off with his closing middle move. Robertson's other runner, PRIVATE WARRIOR, drops to the lowest level of his career and will be closing late if fit enough. POLICIO usually grabs the lead but then fades; could prove tough if able to ration some of that early speed putting on the blinkers.

4 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $12,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Patriate (Rivera, Johnson)123/5-1

2: Casey's On Call (Goodwin, Brinson)119/7-2

3: Eighteen Wheels (Escobar, Brueggemann)121/8-1

4: Senor Captain (Martin, Pfeifer)115/10-1

5: Jimmy Got Even (A. Canchari, Berndt)119/4-1

6: George Ray (Ocampo, Padilla)119/3-1

7: Ghost Skier (Butler, Bravo)123/10-1

8: Rustic Road (Keith, Rengstorf)123/6-1

CASEY'S ON CALL got off slowly and never recovered last out as the chalk; should regain previous form pressing the pace and keeping front-runner honest. GEORGE RAY is one runner to keep an eye on, flying late with expected pace up front and a possible meltdown. PATRIATE stepped up big last out and won gate-to-wire but is destined to duel tonight with outside rivals.

5 6½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $12,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Boot N It (A. Canchari, Martinez)119/7-2

2: Special Skippy (Shino, Rhodes)119/20-1

3: Miss La Priss (Martin, Litfin)119/12-1

4: Via Di Roma (Ocampo, Riecken)119/20-1

5: Le Chot Jolie (Goodwin, Riecken)119/6-1

6: Little Widow Maker (Shaw, C. Smith)119/10-1

7: Hannahslittleangel (Barton, Anderson)119/5-1

8: Bloomtown Baby (Goodwin, C. Smith)119/15-1

9: Cantaffordanother (Stevens, Van Winkle)119/3-1

10: Perfect Fashion (Butler, Donlin)119/4-1

CANTAFFORDANOTHER is a must-use in this headscratcher of a race, coming out of win and place efforts in the past two races. Should get nice stalking trip from the outside. LE CHOT CHOLIE might have turned the corner winning last out by drawing away to a two-length victory. BOOT N IT exits a winning performance but that was more than a month ago. One slow workout since.

6 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Rippin Hot (Escobar, Robertson)119/3-1

2: Dew At Midnight (Shepherd, Hemba)119/5-1

3: Queen July (Barton, Donlin)123/12-1

4: Time Tamer (Martin, Donlin Jr.)123/12-1

5: Tickle Me Twice (Trimble, Sheehan)123/20-1

6: Dazzle You (Arroyo, Pfeifer)119/30-1

7: Classy Shadow (Hernandez, Cole)118/20-1

8: Rock Hard Legacy (A. Canchari, Berndt)119/8-1

9: Connie B (Stevens, Rhone)119/9-2

10: K C's Misfit (Shino, Kirby)119/8-1

11: Parris Island Babe (Rivera, Silva)119/10-1

12: Zippy Trip (Goodwin, Brinson)123/6-1

13: Tava's Prize (Barton, Anderson)119/12-1

14: Gracious Queen (Martin, Litfin)123/30-1

DEW AT MIDNIGHT plunges in class, shipping up from Iowa after a couple of second-place efforts. Should sit comfortably in wake of the front-runners. RIPPIN HOT is expected to fire out of the gate off the rail and grab the early lead. Caught late last out after leading the field. ROCK HARD LEGACY has been a beaten favorite the past three route races but could find the right path to victory tonight.

7 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Ryan's Miracle (Escobar, Lund)123/20-1

2: Momentime (P. Canchari, L. Canchari)123/20-1

3: Thelatestthing (Stevens, Johnson)123/7-2

4: Roemantic View (Hernandez, Schnell)114/3-1

5: Johannesboom (Butler, Brueggemann)119/2-1

6: Bright Perfection (Shepherd, Burgess)119/9-2

7: A Case of Gold Luc (Barton, McShane)119/12-1

8: Prairie Girl (Keith, Donlin)119/15-1

9: Elite Boutique (Rivera, McFarlane)119/10-1

JOHANNESBOOM has turned in consecutive place finishes but might have found the perfect field to get first win since January; should get nice stalking trip. BRIGHT PERFECTION ran career-best two back with good early tracking speed before taking over down the stretch; repeat performance could prove tough opponent. THELATESTTHING is most likely the one to catch with HOF jockey Stevens as the pilot.

8 6 furlongs. Open. Maiden special weight. Purse: $30,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Call Me Zorro (Arroyo, Bethke)119/30-1

2: Shangrila Bar (Butler, Riecken)119/2-1

3: This Is the Bizz (Velazquez, Bethke)119/12-1

4: Chief Engineer (Aguilar, Venner)123/20-1

5: Prince Demidoff (Hernandez, Rampadarat)118/5-1

6: Luxury and Glitter (P. Canchari, Sweere)123/4-1

7: Bold Advantage (Rivera, Kane)123/3-1

8: Cure Demis Blues (Shaw, Rampadarat)123/10-1

9: Solar Star (Escobar, Rhone)116/8-1

SHANGRILA BAR cuts back in distance and competition after weakening badly in Minnesota Derby. Should be forwardly placed sitting behind front-runners for first attack. BOLD ADVANTAGE ran in holding pattern in the second spot last out, finishing a couple lengths behind the winner. Could grab early lead. LUXURY AND GLITTER should enjoy the return to sprinting after five two-turn races.
