HOTSY DOTSY has been facing solid contenders out of state, and could prove tough for a barn that's having a solid meet. GINGER ROSE will be aiming for the target with her ground-saving rail trip. Look for pilot to be aggressive out of the gate. WESTERN BERLIN is the target will the bull's eye on her back, attempting to lead the field to the wire.

10: Marco's Tribute (Butler, Rhone)124/5-1
NOT JUSTA SOMERSET has failed to hold the lead last two out, but might have found the right group to hold on tonight. MUSCLE MAN switches surfaces with the plunge in class. Expect the gelding to show late energy when things unfold. MARCO'S TRIBUTE has had many close calls while sprinting.

BLUES MONEY led in her debut but faded late. Big threat to go all the way on the lead if goes unchallenged. SHAKIN FOR LOVE, STAR SUNDAE, and CHANCE TO SHINE are the first-time starters with the best chance to win at first asking.

7: Getupbabygetup (Lindsay, Diodoro)116/5-1
KALLISTE ROSE drops for over half the price, after winning by over five lengths last out. Good to see a couple of solid works since the victory. QUEEN KATE ships up from Prairie Meadows with back-to-back wins. The seasoned veteran can adapt to quick fractions with her late energy. SPECTIN TROUBLE has tactical foot to put her close to the front from the bell.

CHOCOLOGIST has hit the board in all three starts, including a win two back. Solid player on your ticket. I'M BATMAN romped for the win last out, after stalking the pace to the homestretch. Consecutive wins is definitely within reach. AHOYMYMYCAPTAIN didn't fare well off the long layoff on the turf last out.
