9: Jedi Cartel (Pinon, Hardy)124/5-1
10: James the King (Swiontek, Livingston)124/8-1
FRANKIES BLUE EYES gets the nod in this wide-open affair to begin the evening. Supports a few decent works off the two-month layoff from Remington Park. SQUEAKIE WAGON has paid dividends in five of seven starts. XO WAGON should improve second off the layoff for trainer Charette-Hill.
Race 2: 350 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $15,500.

7: Goldies Big Time (Luark, Kane)126/12-1
8: Justa Bump (Goodwin, Johnson)126/9-2
BEAUTIFULISH will shoot for back-to-back victories after breaking her maiden last out. BEE BEE GUNS dueled and led late but got nabbed at the wire. Has hit the board in all three starts, including a first-time-out victory. JUST A BUMP appears to be a dangerous shipper off the three-month layoff with the ideal outside draw.
Race 3: 6 furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $6,250. Purse: $10,500.

4: Legend in Time (Butler, Padilla)119/9-5
5: Nickels for Pat (Sanchez, Bravo)119/2-1
6: Golden Brown Sugar (Velazquez, Westermann)123/10-1
LEGEND IN TIME had a brutal second start out of the gate and never recovered. Won her debut in driving fashion and anything close to that performance puts her back in the winner's circle. NICKELS FOR PAT swung five-wide to get the win last effort and is the obvious danger to Legend In Time. AURA'S STAR won her debut two back on late rally. Will need a strong pace scenario to duplicate that effort.
Race 4: About 11⁄16 miles. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500.

7: Fog Happens (Goncalves, Keen)119/7-2
8: Nora's Song (Canchari, O'Callaghan)119/5-1
FOG HAPPENS comes off a strong winning performance at Sam Houston after getting pinched at the break. Training smartly coming in for Dallas Keen. RICSPRETENTIOUSGAL will be pursued by the group as she will try to shake loose as possible lone front runner. NORA'S SONG could make a closing bid if race is dictated by a decent pace to close on. Won two back flying the coop late.
Race 5: About 7½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500.

9: Born Lucky (Eikleberry, Diodoro)119/2-1
10: Bella Parvati (P.Canchari, L.Canchari)119/20-1
RIDGEOFSTONE has faced much tougher in her career and should appreciate the class relief off the four-month absence. SHESA SWEET SECRET ran third last turf effort after failing to hold the late lead down the stretch. BORN LUCKY has been on the sidelines for 13 months but has encouraging workout schedule for return.

7: Ghazi's Last Shot (Delorme, Pfeifer)119/6-1
8: Demis Romance (Swiontek, Canchari)119/10-1
CONNIE LEE is lone speed and draws perfect inside draw. It's now or never in breaking her maiden in her 24th attempt. REGGAE RUNNER plunges in class to new low and might be the one to prompt the pace up front. HONEY DIPPER and DEMIS ROMANCE will be used underneath, trust factor isn't there to put on top.
Race 7: 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $36,500.

9: Macho Storm (Goncalves, Bethke)123/9-2
STEVIEFROMSTANLEY was much the best last out while winning by nine lengths over the sloppy surface. Appears to be the one to beat, especially with moisture on the track. STREET FIGHTING jumps off the turf for the Rhone/Butler team and could be a handful switching to the main track. ROYAL TRAMP and MACHO STORM both exit wins last out. Not to be overlooked

6: Lily the Bear (Delorme, Sweere)123/12-1
7: Undone Sweater (Swiontek, Berg)123/30-1
Trainer Tom Amoss sends out the top two selections in PROSPECTOR D' ORO and TAP SONG. Prospector D' Oro could take the lead but doesn't need it with jockey Goncalves aboard. Impressive maiden breaking win last out as the chalk. Tap Song too exits maiden breaking win last out after chasing the pace. MABEEITSTIME is the class of the field but might enjoy running longer. Looms late closing threat if snappy fractions occur.

6: Crimsonexpectation (Hernandez, Rengstorf)123/6-1
7: Royal Bluff (Delorme, Pfeifer)123/10-1
STRENGTH N BEAUTY chased the pace while in a holding pattern last out coming up for second best on the sloppy surface. Could move forward on dry track. SUBITO ran right behind our top pick and was rewarded with show money. Fighting chance with this untrustworthy group. CRIMSONEXPECTATION is a must use with the sharp drop in class. Won two back in route race, so can't be excluded.
