4: Run the Spell Cheque (Swiontek, Haglund)124/4-1

6: Jess a Rumor (Suarez Ricardo,Haglund)126/1-1

JESS A RUMOR is the one to beat with clean break. TD CARTEL broke his maiden last out on a sloppy track. RUN THE SPELL CHEQUE surged late for the win two-back.

1: Icanhenryyoutoo (Frink, McKinley)126/20-1

3: One Kool Hero (Swiontek, Hanson)124/12-1

4: Ima Lil Storm Cat (Ramirez, Olmstead)124/8-1

5: Valiant Suzy (Esqueda, Olmstead)124/5-1

6: Jesse Justice (Goodwin, Hunt)124/5-2

7: One Mean Eagle (Clark, Johnson)124/20-1

9: Boogie Wagon (Serrano, Campos)124/4-1

SASSY IRISH LASSIE has been chasing better and should enjoy the class relief. JESSE JUSTICE is usually in the mix for the payouts. VALIANT SUZY could prove tough at a price with clean start.

3 About 11⁄16 miles. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $34,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Kathleen V. (Arrieta, Bethke)119/6-1

3: Under Current (Hamilton, Berndt)119/3-1

4: Somerset Allie (Eikleberry, Rhone)124/12-1

5: According to Aspen (Butler,Tracy)119/2-1

6: Sweet Sophie Slew (Lindsay, Fields)124/15-1

7: Lady Langfuhr (Sanchez, Richard)119/7-2

ACCORDING TO ASPEN has had a rough start out of the gate in all three starts, and is a logical threat if breaks alertly. KATHLEEN V. muscled her way up for place honors last race, after getting mugged at the break. UNDER CURRENT has been third best last two out. LADY LANGFUHR is a first-time starter and a must-use in this wide-open affair.

4 About 11⁄16 miles. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $34,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Blues Touch (Lindsay, Rhone)119/10-1

2: Princess Grazia (P.Canchari,Lund)124/15-1

4: Katrinas Legend (Escobar, Bethke)119/20-1

5: Cause for Magic (Clark, Fields)119/20-1

6: Golden Thunder (Eikleberry, Donlin)119/6-1

7: Caterina Iano (Loveberry, Tracy)119/3-1

8: Sweet Tree (Bedford, McKinley)114/15-1

EPPUR SI MOUVE towers the field in speed numbers, but is 0-13 coming in. ARNOLD'S PATSY flashed improved gate speed in lone turf effort, but faded badly late. CATERINA IANO has early speed to be in a good spot from the start.

5 About 5 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $12,500. Purse: $30,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Stevie Mac (Eikleberry, Rhone)124/8-1

2: Storm Temple Pilot (Goncalves, Heitzmann)120/7-2

4: Tadaa (Butler, Schnell)120/5-1

5: Malibu Stella (Loveberry, Robertson)120/2-1

6: Kenna Mae (Velazquez, Biehler)120/6-1

7: Natalie's Mischief (Hamilton, Offolter)120/10-1

MALIBU STELLA is strictly the one to fend off down the stretch for strong connections. Expect STEVIE MAC, GETUPBABYGETUP and TADAA to knock heads on the lead in their first turf attempt.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Sin City (Mawing, Biehler)119/12-1

2: Wilburn's Angel (Hamilton, Cline)124/10-1

3: Machi (Eikleberry, Broberg)124/5-2

4: Flowers for Teagan (Loveberry, Robertson)124/9-2

6: What'd I Miss (Mojica, Lund)124/7-2

7: Strike Perfection (Butler, L.Litfin)124/6-1

8: Wow Wow Now (Goodwin, Knox)124/15-1

9: Life's Battles (Arrieta, Bratcher)119/12-1

STRIKE PERFECTION will need a well-timed ride by Butler, sitting in the mid-pack, before making late run. FLOWERS FOR TEAGAN has tactical foot to put her close to the lead from the start. WHAT'D I MISS and MACHI stretch out, after scoring for minor awards last out sprinting.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: River Swan (Joubert, Hanson)118/6-1

2: Digger Heels In (Velazquez, Berndt)118/7-2

3: Sonadora (Eikleberry, Bravo)118/9-2

4: Rosie's Flower's (Hernandez,Rengstorf)118/8-1

6: R J's Lemon Drop (Lindsay,McKinley)118/12-1

7: She B Glamorous (Loveberry,Bravo)118/8-1

8: Shez Just Crusin (Goncalves, R. Rarick)118/6-1

Wide-open baby field to kick off the late Pick 4. I'll take a shot with SHEZ JUST CRUSIN, who has a few snappy drills, and will get to track the inside speed with the outside draw. GIVING TREE has moderate drills coming in, but has a trainer who's hitting at 33 percent with his new shooters. DIGGER HEELS was third as the favorite in lone start.

8 4½ furlongs. 2-year-olds. Maiden special weight. Purse: $34,000

1: Mucho Super Girl (Lindsay,Bethke)118/6-1

2: Foxys Irish Affair (Velazquez,Hanson)118/4-1

3: Greatest Gal (Hamilton, Berndt)118/5-2

4: Lila's Lucky Lady (Loveberry, Biehler)118/5-1

5: Hrishi'slilhotrod (Escobar, Bethke)118/8-1

7: Clever Criminal (Eikleberry, Silva)118/9-2

Another baby field to go deep on. CLEVER CRIMINAL only has three works, but trainer and jockey are winning at 25% as a team. FOXY IRISH AFFAIR ran a bullet drill in her first career workout. I'll give MILITARY LIAISON the best shot of winning at first asking.

9 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $12,500. Purse: $30,000
