1: Dot's Vow, Hernandez, Danger12412-1

2: Tahkodha Dutchess, Butler, Walker1246-1

4: Princess Sunrise, Lindsay, Silva1192-1

5: Sue Dancer, Becerra, Backhaus1246-1

6: Blinkersonletherip, Delgado, Rarick1245-1

GLITTER'S CUPCAKE drops for over half the price and wheels back on six days rest after running third against much tougher on opening weekend. PRINCESS SUNRISE puts the blinkers on and gets right back to sprinting after failing badly as the favorite in the same race as Glitter's Cupcake. SUE DANCER had a contaminated start last out but still managed to get up for place honors. Should move forward with clean break.

2 5½ furlongs. State-bred. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $13,500.

1: Darkhorse Ty, Hernandez, Silva1243-1

2: Justcallme Charlie, Loveberry, Rengstorf1247-2

3: Shady Shadow, Butler, Turco1248-1

4: Northland Gold, Goodwin, Riecken1246-1

5: Little Timmy, Delorme, Bethke11812-1

6: Back Alley Warrior, Mawing, Biehler1188-1

7: Perfect Karma, A.Canchari, Robertson1242-1

PERFECT KARMA drops to the lowest level of his brief career to start the 2017 campaign for the Robertson/Canchari team. Canchari gets ideal outside post to keep eye on speed to the inside for first attack. BACK ALLEY WARRIOR has a decent series of works in preparation for his sophomore season. Résumé says 17-length win in his second career start on the local track. DARKHORSE TY jumps off the turf with a experience edge over his rivals today. Returns to sprinting, where he does his best running.

3 6 furlongs. State-bred. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $14,500.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Anzoo, Butler, McShane12410-1

2: Hoist Her Demi, Shepherd, Bethke12412-1

3: Kato Miss, Loveberry, Rengstorf1247-2

4: Sassy Prance, Acosta, Broberg1249-5

5: P J's Angel, A.Canchari, Scherer1244-1

6: Stellabrini, Delorme, Donlin1245-1

7: Willow Spring, Mojica, Silva1248-1

KATO MISS is strictly the one to catch to get the win. Expect the veteran mare to come out firing as lone speedster in the field. SASSY PRANCE has the overall best speed figures in the group but might be better around two turns. Probable favorite at post. Should be schlepping along before making late drive to catch Kato Miss. P J's ANGEL has been training smartly for return off the extended layoff, including bullet drill last work. Might need to sit closer to the pace with lack of group speed.

4 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $11,500.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: War Force, Shepherd, House12412-1

2: El Bongo, Mawing, Herb12410-1

3: Real Windy, Velazquez, Van Winkle1245-1

4: Frisco, Lindsay, Silva1243-1

5: Dixie Gambler, Mojica, Litfin1248-1

6: Drive Sandy Drive, Butler, Rhone1199-2

7: All American Man, Loveberry, Biehler1245-2

8: Change Anything, Hernandez, McKinley12412-1

FRISCO could take the lead with decent early speed and with most opponents looking fairly slow out of the gate. Look for jockey Lindsay to control a moderate pace and milk his way to the wire. ALL AMERICAN MAN faced slightly tougher on the Chicago circuit last year but did his best running on the Arlington Park synthetic surface. Consistent money-maker will be main challenger on the front end to Frisco. DIXIE GAMBLER gets a new barn and will be prowling the pace transferring up from Fonner Park. Contender for win honors but will have to step it up a notch.

5 6½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse: $10,000.

4: Sea Tales, C.Lopez, Bends12415-1

5: Sham's Shoes, Loveberry, Hornsby1245-1

6: Empress Wildcat, Shepherd, Bethke12412-1

7: Queen Otaheite, Delorme, Donlin1249-2

8: My Majestic, Sanchez, Anderson1244-1

9: Oltimate Broad, Butler, Walker1248-1

QUEEN OTAHEITE will try to go gate-to-wire as she did last out for seven-length victory against weaker at Fonner. Could shake loose without scalding fractions as lone front-runner. MY MAJESTIC also exits a large-margin win at Fonner Park and will be rolling late with ability to put the field away at a price. JUSTEVERYDAY cuts back in distance while shipping up from Tampa Bay for the Rhone barn. Should get ground-saving trip off the rail closing from mid-pack.

6 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver claiming $10,000. Purse: $17,000.

6: Sam's Silver Star, A.Canchari, Rengstorf1205-1

7: Guska Mon Shoes, Goodwin, Hornsby1204-1

8: Duke of Luke, Delorme, Bethke12015-1

SMOLTZ returns to Canterbury where he has run some of his best efforts. Set the pace last out before tiring second off the layoff, but has been freshened up with a couple of morning drill. ROUNDUPTHELUTE cuts back off the grass after a humdrum performance on the Tampa Bay lawn. Last effort on the main track was a game win as the favorite. SAM'S SILVER STAR and GUSKA MON SHOES will be my late closing threats at healthy prices.

7 6 furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $30,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds

1: Stella's Princess, Butler, Bravo1243-1

2: Strawberry Bomb, Loveberry, Martin1242-1

5: Kissin Katy, Sanchez, Walker12415-1

6: Starship Mischief, Velazquez, Berndt1249-2

7: Miss Ocean Express, Delorme, Donlin12410-1

8: Unbridled Mayhem, A.Canchari, Robertson1245-1

STELLA'S PRINCESS comes in with three consecutive bullet drills for trainer Francisco Bravo and appears ready to go for her summer season. Ended the last year's season with back-to-back wins. STRAWBERRY BOMB is all about speed and might go for the lead if Stella's Princess decides to duel with Butler aboard. Had consecutive front-running wins before bad break from the gate last out. UNBRIDLED MAYHEM is the logical late threat if speed duel does occur. Expect to get a generous price for the Robertson/Canchari duo.

8 6½ furlongs. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $12,500. Purse: $11,500.

6: Silky Lady, Mojica, Rengstorf12410-1

7: R Fair Cher, Shepherd, House1245-1

8: Cozzy Kinda Love, Bedford, McKinley11920-1

JEOFFIE ships in Santa Anita as a new acquisition for the Donlin barn. Drop in class and getting Butler as the pilot, might be what the doctor ordered to get the win in the filly's 13th attempt. BUBBLE TIME is also a new purchase, shipping up from Will Rogers Downs. Expect to exhibit early speed and be a factor on the front end. R FAIR CHER returns to sprinting after getting some minor awards at the Fair Grounds routing.
