LS LITTLE EFFORT gets ideal outside post after contaminated break last out. SIXAPPEAL faded late last out and should enjoy the cutback of 50 yards. DASH FOR THE REMEDY comes in off a year rest with a couple decent morning drills.

2 350 yards. Open. 2-year-olds. Maiden. Purse: $11,500.

9: Okey Ivory (Pinon, Johnson)122/8-1

10: Miss Bertie Lou (Cruz, Pride)122/20-1

11: Kowboy Jim (Goodwin, Frey)122/6-1

MATTS CORONA has run for show honors in both starts and warrants respect at a square price. MY RADIO FLYER rallied for second after a awkward break last out. FAST PRIZE JET just missed hitting the board in lone start, could move forward second time out.

4: Stoupinator (Butler, Robertson)121/8-5

5: Stormquility (McNeil, Williams)119/9-2

6: Magnificent Margo (Rosier, Sharp)119/2-1

STOUPINATOR disappointed as the favorite in Lady Canterbury Stakes and should enjoy tonight's small field with rivals more to her liking. Expect to employ early foot near the pace for perfect stalking position. HEY DIDJANOTIS comes off late flying victory and could prove tough if repeats that performance, looks every bit top contender. MY BLUE SKY too exits same stakes race as Stoupinator and will also appreciate the class drop. Might be the one controlling the speed up front.

4 About 11/16 miles. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $35,000. Purse: $34,000.

6: Okey Dokey Kyle (Mojica, Bravo)119/10-1

7: Chongo (Rosier, Scott Tubbs)119/6-1

MAJESTIC PRIDE finished ahead over four of tonight's opponents in the Mystic Lake Mile last out and and has been freshened up since. Should be sitting closer to the lead with lack of group speed. GIACALLURE exits a late closing win splitting his combatants down the stretch, like his progress coming in. WARONTHEHOMEFRONT merits respect and will have a say on how the pace plays out with being on or near the lead.

7: Make Money Honey (Ramgeet, Diodoro)121/5-2

8: Sweet Tango (Bethke, Bethke)123/9-2

MIZ OWELL seeks his third consecutive win as the favorite and will be tough to fend off when things unfold cutting loose with his strong kick. MAKE MONEY HONEY too enters off consecutive wins and will be compromised if the pace gets heated. Reunited with jockey Ramgeet who won as a team two back by over six lengths. SWEET TANGO and STRENGTH N BEAUTY deserve a look with the drop in class at expected generous prices.

6 5½ furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $32,000.

6: Pitch Perfection (Butler, Rhone)119/7-2

7: Dazzle Man (P. Canchari, Cole)123/10-1

8: Perfect Karma (Ortega, Robertson)119/4-1

JOHNNY THE JET has been second best in both starts coming from off the pace while being very game in defeat. PERFECT KARMA gave a useful effort in lone start and should improve with second start for the hot Robertson barn. PITCH PERFECTION has ample early speed and should be a factor from the start in this wide open maiden race kicking off the late pick 4.

7: Keyed for Speed (Delorme, Padilla)123/4-1

8: Kluszewski (Dieguez, Silva)123/12-1

LEND ME THE LUTE has been training sharply for his return and supports a couple of bullet drills. Trainer Diodoro excels bring his runners back off the extended layoff. Expect KNIGHTINMODERATION and KEYED FOR SPEED to hook up in early duel attempting to lead the field to the wire. Knightinmoderation exits a seven length win going gate-to-wire. WILEY WIZARD looms late closing threat if ready to fire off the six month plus layoff.

6: Duke of Luke (Delorme, Padilla)123/3-1

7: Rodriguez (Martin, Jr., Berndt)123/7-2

GREEK WEEK will try to carry his speed all the way to the end while being pursued by the field. Got nipped last out off the three month layoff, expect to be plenty fit tonight. DUKE OF LUKE did the nipping to Greek Week after collaring his rival right before the wire. RODRIGUEZ gets a little class relief and should have perfect set-up with massive speed in front of him to swoop on.

5: Trident Hero (Mojica, Litfin)123/6-1

6: Speeding Spike (Swiontek, Miller)123/8-1

7: Awesome Year (Clark, Holdaway)123/15-1

HANDSOME ROY could be long gone if goes unchallenged as the heavy favorite on the lead, strictly the one to catch to get the win. CEEYA TUESDAY takes significant drop in class with his return off the 10 month absence, could cause problems for top choice if regains last year's form. TRIDENT HERO drops for over half the price with the surface switch for a barn that is having a splendid meet.
