4: First Flyin Eagle (D. Velazquez, Olmstead)124/3-1

6: Better Dig Two (Delgado, Kane)126/8-1

WRITE YOUR STORY is alert gate breaker, which is extremely important in this short dash. LITHE should enjoy the cutback in distance, after giving way late last two out. FIRST FLYIN EAGLE broke sharply two back, and never looked back for the win.

8: Notimeforthat (Hamilton, Robertson)120/6-1

9: Flower Beach (Mawing, McFarlane)120/15-1

HEAT FLASH came flying late and with a lot left in the tank, to get the win last out off a five-month layoff. BROKEN KEY drops for over half the price, after finishing in the eighth spot last out as the chalk. Will unleash one big run from the back of the pack. ROCKET JOE COPPER will fire out of the gate and is the one to catch to get the win.

5 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000.

6: Act Your Wage (Hernandez, Silva)124/8-1

7: Moonlight Ta Kela (Loveberry, Robertson)119/2-1

MOONLIGHT TA KELA stayed in holding pattern last out, securing the third spot touring the course. Expect to move forward for sharp barn, while putting the blinkers on. TWO UNDER gets major class relief, while jumping off the turf course. Should save ground with rail ride, stretching out around two turns. TEQUILA LEY also stretches out to the mile journey for first time.

7 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000.

1: The Tascosa Kid (A.Canchari, Robertson)124/5-2

8: Go Mojave Go (Goodwin, Anderson)124/20-1

9: Kiss My Hennessy (Hamilton, Arnett)124/8-1

EDDIE'S FIRST will attempt to lead the field to the wire with the slight drop in class. Shorter distance might cure the fading late blues. THE TASCOSA KID comes in for top notch connections and is a serious threat rolling late. Should appreciate the added distance. DROP THE GLOVES and EXPONENTIALLY loom late closing threat in this wide-open race.

8 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming: $12,500. Purse: $25,000.

1: Exemplar (A.Ramgeet, Davis)124/8-1

4: Sky Defence (A.Canchari, Arnett)124/9-2

5: Solve (O.Mojica, Diodoro)124/2-1

MALIBU PRO thrashed the field last out in a wide margin victory at tonight's distance. Will track the leader, keeping front runner honest before pouncing. SOLVE comes in off of impressive win against softer, and now comes in full of confidence. Main threat to top pick. SKY DEFENCE comes in with three game winning streak and brings plenty of early speed to the race.

9 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $6,250. Purse: $12,500.
