RED STORM MEMORIES deserves another chance after getting forced out from the break as the favorite last out. PAINT ME FURIOUS has been second best last two races. HIGH CHANCE JESS was a duel winner two back at a nice price.

10: Ivory Charmer (Goodwin, Johnson)122/10-1

11: Hero On Ice (Smith, Hunt)122/5-2

TEMPTING EYES was a game third after a poor break last start. MISS M SIXTEEN finished ahead of Tempting Eyes for place honors that race. JAADORE was very upset in the gate before the start of last race and could prove tough if relaxes before the bell sounds.

6: Sweetedge (Delorme, Anderson)119/8-1

7: Miss My Rosie (Martinez, Robertson)119/3-1

8: Codys Cupcake (Sanchez, LaVanway)119/7-2

GIANT RAINBOW had a traffic filled stretch last effort while making his closing run and finishing in the fourth spot, eligible to improve with a clear path. CODYS CUPCAKE will chase the pace keeping the front runner honest and will be involved from the bell. MISS MY ROSIE is a deep closer who has been on the sidelines for the last two months, steady work tab coming in.

4 About 7½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $20,000. Purse: $14,500

15: Purple and Gold (Sanchez, Van Winkle)119/20-1

16: Imperial Rose (Escobar, Troche)119/30-1

MS MUMBA comes out of live heat after stalking the pace before fading late against a tougher group, expect to be in the hunt early. TIZZY DEAN has been second best last two out and has every right to move forward. HALEY'S COMET and SISMONCEO merit respect as major players.

7: Nite of the Hunter Martinez, Robertson)122/3-1

8: Yeowzer (Velazquez, Litfin)122/5-1

9: Sunday Prohibition (Sanchez, Rengstorf)120/12-1

NITE OF THE HUNTER ran career best last out on the off track winning by over 14 lengths in cruise control, tough if repeats that effort. IMPROMPTU won last out in four wide closing bid, a lot of upside coming in. MODERN MEDICINE led late but was nabbed by Impromptu as the lukewarm favorite that race, versatile colt will be hooking up in early pace battle.

5: Reggae Runner (Velazquez, Oliver)121/8-1

6: Hoist Her Demi (P. Canchari, L. Canchari)121/9-2

NAOMI RIDGE ESQ. saved ground and was involved early before fading badly in her first start off the 9 month layoff, freshened up since with a couple of works. NO RAIN projects as the one to catch coming off gate-to-wire win, flattered when place runner came back to win next out. HOIST HER DEMI looms the late closing threat.

7 6 furlongs. State-bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $10,500

7: Prairie Appeal (Martinez, Butler)123/8-1

8: Captain Oh Captain (Carreno, Diodoro)119/3-1

PENNANT FEVER is aggressively dropped after stopping badly last out and will be the one to beat if regains prior form. CAPTAIN OH CAPTAIN came on late to the scene with a strong rally to get up for second best, should gather momentum late enjoying the extra half furlong tonight. TUFF GRIT plunges in class in hopes of turning things around, bullet drill coming in.

8 6 furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $6,250. Purse: $12,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Flyby Dubai (Franco, Van Winkle)123/8-1

6: Bizet (Martinez, Padilla)123/7-2

7: Mon Petit Pote (Butler, Keen)123/2-1

MON PETIT POTE drew away from his rivals last out in impressive fashion after vying for command five wide. FLYING DUBAI is usually in the mix from start to finish and is expected to hook up in early duel starting from the rail position. BIZET has experience edge with a solid local record.

9 6 furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $12,500. Purse: $11,500

5: Timetogivein (Delorme, McFarlane)119/5-1

6: Going for Miles (Martinez, Robertson)123/5-2

7: Yes by Gold (Goodwin, Sheehan)119/8-1

Wide open affair to end the night. UNOBTAINIUM takes the blinkers off and drops for over half the price after giving way to long dueling battle last out. HARNERSBACH was second best last effort to next out winner and looks to be progressing nicely. GOING FOR MILES is lone two turn runner cutting back to sprinting with class relief.

Although Harrison Bader will likely play in center field when Byron Buxton is given a day off, Bader more likely will play in left when the Twins face lefthanded starters.
