3: Mr. Arturo (Butler, Bravo)123/6-1

4: G Road (Delorme, Kirby)123/20-1

6: Proud Royal (Mojica, Rengstorf)123/15-1

7: No Time Limit (Jimenez,T.Bethke)123/15-1

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Giant Gamble (Stevens, Keller)123/3-1

2: Rickshaw Express (A.Canchari,Tracy, Jr.)123/6-1

3: Ensign Eli (Delorme, Padilla)123/5-2

5: Pepper Prince (Butler, Turco)123/8-1

6: Keyed for Speed (Ramgeet, Padilla)123/10-1

7: Inexcess Time (Hernandez, Diodoro)123/3-1

PEPPER PRINCE switches surfaces for the first time in his career and should be forwardly placed with Butler as the pilot for a price. INEXCESS TIME exits a nice win sprinting on the dirt off the three-month layoff. Pedigree suggests he should enjoy running on the lawn. GIANT GAMBLE ran for show dollars three back at this level and distance. Expect jockey Stevens to get him in good stalking position off the rail.

3 About 5 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $35,000. Purse: $21,000.

1: Star of Orientate (Goodwin, Pearson)123/12-1

2: Myristica (Stevens, Biehler)123/12-1

3: Borealis Beauty (A.Canchari, Robertson)119/4-1

4: Flying Freud (Ramgeet, Padilla)119/5-1

5: Whiskey Legend (Delorme, Donlin)119/20-1

7: Kings Own (Mojica, Bravo)119/10-1

8: Five Star Nap (Butler, Robertson)119/6-5

FIVE STAR NAP could prove tough favorite if the filly can transfer her running form with the surface switch for top barn. Stablemate BOREALIS BEAUTY, gets back to racing off the extended absence. Solid works coming in and will be a much better price than her roommate. STAR OF ORIENTATE will attend up front and could last longer than many think at a price.

4 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $16,000. Purse: $30,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

2: Trolley (Ramgeet, Sweere)123/12-1

3: Thunder and Honey (A.Canchari,Robertson)123/5-2

4: Rockin the Bleu's (Stevens, Biehler)123/2-1

5: Lily the Bear (Delorme, Sweere)123/8-1

6: Daddy's Memory (Butler,Robertson)123/7-2

ROCKIN THE BLEU'S was runner-up in the Minnesota Distaff Sprint last out, so going on assumption that the 5-year-old mare is moving in the right direction. THUNDERS cuts back in distance after running evenly in merry-go-round fashion around two turns last out. Expect to be bringing up the rear late in the game. DADDY'S MEMORY didn't appreciate the muddy track off the long layoff and could improve with fast track for strong connections.

5 4½ furlongs. 2-year-olds. Maiden claiming: $50,000. Purse: $23,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Blue Magic Cat (Delorme, Walker)118/15-1

2: Bring Your Alibi (Coddington, Donlin)118/20-1

4: Hatties Cab (Hernandez, McShane)118/3-1

5: Courtney's Hero (Escobar, Rhone)118/8-1

6: Marco's Tribute (Mojica, Rhone)118/10-1

7: He's a Talker (Nolan, Robertson)118/9-2

8: Royal Equinox (Shaw, Weidner)118/20-1

HATTIES CAB exhibited short-lived speed before giving way to four rivals in his second career start. Could get brave if goes unchallenged. Mac Robertson brings in top two M/L favorites ALITTLEBITTWSTED and HE'S A TALKER. Both will draw strong tote support but tough to put on top at expected low prices after dull performances starting their careers.

6 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $16,000. Purse: $30,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Warren's Nicholas (Stevens, Diodoro)123/7-2

2: Charlie Again (Ramgeet,Van Winkle)123/9-2

4: Go Gold (Hernandez,Westermann)123/8-1

5: At My Discretion (Velazquez, Brinson)123/5-1

6: Hansboro (Nolan, Sweere)123/12-1

7: Moon Gun (Mojica, Litfin)123/6-1

8: Aunt Ruby's Kitten (A.Canchari,Robertson)123/4-1

7 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $11,500.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Your Last Warning (Ramgeet,Rhone)123/12-1

2: Anzoo (Butler, McShane)119/9-2

3: Kato Miss (Joubert, Hanson)123/3-1

5: Willow Spring (Hernandez,Sheehan)123/15-1

6: Rodeoactive (A.Canchari, Broberg)119/8-5

7: Shal Pal's Castle (Goodwin, Fauchald)123/20-1

RODEOACTIVE appears to be the cream of the crop on paper and now drops for half the price cutting back a half furlong. RENAMED and KATO MISS are probably destined to duel and will not spend much time in the gate when the bell rings. ANZOO has a couple of wins in the last month and a half but will have to step it up in a big way to get the win.

8 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $25,000. Purse: $32,000.

1: Queen Kate (Stevens, Lund)121/5-2

2: Native Princess (Velazquez, Broberg)115/8-1

3: Honey's Sox Appeal (A.Canchari,Robertson)119/7-2

4: Makinmymark (Mojica, Lund)119/4-1

5: Discreetly Grand (Nolan, Heitzmann)119/9-2
