9: Ima Fast Wagon (Delgado, Hunt)122/9-2

10: Shot of Triple Vodka (Velazquez, Olmstead)122/8-1

CAPPY improved his game in his second start with a solid place effort. JK WILDCAT RED finished right behind Cappy and has revenge factor looming with better outside draw. SHOT OF TRIPLE VODKA got bumped hard out of the gate in lone start, and looks to get back on his feet again.

1: Brooklyn Decker (Goodwin, Clay)124/4-1

7: Mystic Lake Monster (Pinon, Johnson)124/10-1

8: Trigger Trash (Vega, LaZarre)124/20-1

10: Berry Quick (Flores, McKinley)126/10-1

PR LADY IN RED gave a good second place effort off the extended layoff for her first race of the year. BROOKLYN DECKER broke sharply from the gate but faded late and finished behind Pr Lady In Red. JESS A RUMOR had a decent 2016 campaign and is a legit player if set to go.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Spur (Acosta, Diodoro)119/1-1

3: Magneto (Canchari, Nolen)119/6-1

4: Jack Mormon (Lindsay, McFarlane)119/5-1

5: Buxton (Ramgeet, Berndt)119/4-1

6: Defender of Hearts (Loveberry, Oberlander)119/6-1

SPUR is strictly the one to beat with speed numbers towering the field and getting the ideal inside draw. MAGNETO will be chasing spur from the bell and is a candidate for improvement shipping up from Will Rogers Down. The Oklahoma shippers have been doing quite well up north. BUXTON and DEFENDER OF HEARTS are first time starters for outfits with strong numbers winning at first asking. Don't overlook.

1: Alpine Gathering (Ramgeet, Fields)120/12-1

10: Quality Indeed (Mojica, Sterling, Jr.)120/3-1

12: Heisenberg (Mawing, Applegate)120/10-1

QUALITY INDEED enters with consecutive wins and tactical speed to sit off the pace while letting others settle the difference in front of him. RED CORVETTE gets class relief after waters were a little too deep last out, fading late and settling for third. TRANSFORMATIVE and HEISENBERG are two other class droppers who will be storming late down the stretch as the deep threats.

9: Glacken's Ghost (Canchari, Robertson)120/7-2

10: Super Charlie (Acosta, Nevada Litfin)120/12-1

CHESTNUT JOHNNY came off the bench and scored with impressive victory off the six month layoff for the Ulwelling stable. Should be full of confidence to get back-to-back wins. POCKETBALL faced better competition in the winter meet at the Fair Grounds race track. Trainer has been tightening the screws with a strong series of works for return. GLACKEN'S GHOST is a multiple winner on the dirt and now switches surfaces for strong connections.

9: At My Discretion (Mawing, Lund)124/2-1

10: Don't Claim Me (Hernandez, Bolinger)124/12-1

DON'T CLAIM ME aimed too high last out against tougher and if pack front pack falters up front, could take over at a big price. TOUR DE ROCK exits a very game win after a long losing streak, shifting through traffic under a heady ride by Jareth Loveberry. Loveberry returns as the probable post time favorite. AT MY DISCRETION got corralled by Tour De Rock as the favorite before the wire. Tough spot to put on top with added half furlong and last win 13 races back.

5: Clear Shot (Johnson, Canchari)119/20-1

7: Xans Storm (Joubert, Hanson)124/10-1

8: Joe Money (Lindsay, Silva)119/9-2

STAR SPANGLED really pick up his game last effort with career best speed number with show honors for the reward. Reprise of that performance gets his picture taken. FLATTER D DADDY begins his racing career tonight with encouraging work tab and some quick drills at 4f. NOT JUSTA SOMERSET showed brief speed and held on for the second spot off the long layoff. Candidate for improvement.

5: Richard Thomas (Mawing, Scherer)124/5-2

6: Fridaynitestar (Velazquez, Berndt)119/5-1

HOT SHOT KID will be going for his third straight win with Canchari as the pilot. May exhibit more speed cutting back a half furlong from the outside post. RICHARD THOMAS caught a gear last out and took over when asked for his second career when. Strong look of contender, but will have to earn it with this group. FRIDAYNITESTAR exits a off-the-pace win from opening weekend and has been freshened up since with two decent morning drills.

5: Ball and Chain (Butler, Robertson)124/2-1

6: Peaceful Approach (Mawing, Cornier)124/8-1

7: Hot and Dangerous (Sanchez, Metz)124/10-1

BALL AND CHAIN style is no secret, come smokin out of the gate and come catch me if you can. Been on the shelf for 9 months, but is training smartly, including bullet drill last work. Barnmate BOREALIS BEAUTY, will come rolling late and looms the main danger to her buddy. TEELFA ran second to a next out winner in stakes race last out. Much respect, but maybe best used underneath.
