7: Illthinkaboutit (Goodwin, Frey)124/10-1

8: Flyin Lizard (Cruz, Hardy)126/3-1

9: Dancin Corona (Swiontek, Livingston)124/8-1

FAST EDDYS EYEYINYOU is alert gate-breaker, and that will be extremely helpful in this short dash. FISHIN IN THE BROOK has strong class edge over his opponents. FLYIN LIZARD prevailed as the favorite last out.

2 250 yards. 2-year-olds. Maiden. Purse: $11,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Ada Lida (Rosier, Olmstead)122/15-1

2: Foxys Lil Wagon (Cruz, Hardy)122/8-1

3: Painted Lasso (Clark, Charette-Hill)122/10-1

11: A Valiant Cartel (Cruz, Hanson)122/5-1

12: Trs Just Like Mike (Clark, Miller)122/20-1

Evenly matched maiden group with many ways to go. THE LASTPAINTEDWAGON should enjoy cutting back a few yards after weakening late last effort. ADA LINDA was much sharper in second start with every right to keep moving forward. Trainer Charette-Hill sends out stablemates FAVORITE MOMENT and PAINTED LASSO, and both will take plenty of tote support.

3 1⅜ miles. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming: $10,000. Purse: $22,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Born Force (A.Canchari, Donlin)119/3-1

2: Local Reason (Ramgeet, Lund)119/5-1

3: Victory Colors (Delorme, Scherer)119/12-1

4: Go Gold (Hernandez, Westermann)119/10-1

5: Cavour (Cruz, McFarlane)119/12-1

6: Sir Searsucker (Goodwin, McFarlane)119/9-2

7: Woodmans Luck (Mojica, Sharp)123/9-5

WOODMANS LUCK won last out at today's distance by four lengths and over a few of today's rivals, plenty to be positive about coming in. LOCAL REASON was runnerup to Woodmans Luck after prompting the pace for most the distance, must consider off that effort. BORN FACE might get out of the gate quickly with the inside post and try to lead the field to the wire in this marathon race.

4 7½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $12,500. Purse: $13,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Haley's Comet (A.Canchari, Robertson)123/12-1

2: Orphan Shoes (Velazquez, Rengstorf)123/12-1

3: Atilla Katie (Goodwin, Pride)123/5-1

8: Shoot the Bullet (Jimenez, LaZarre)123/30-1

9: Only One Wish (Mojica, Sharp)118/15-1

10: Hurricane Mary (Butler, McShane)118/15-1

11: Hankypank Girl (Vergara, Diodoro)123/9-2

12: Correspondence (Lopez Jr., McFadden)123/30-1

13: Aura's Star (A.Canchari, Thompson)123/30-1

Wide-open second leg to the pick 4. CORRESPONDANCE will be a huge price at post time, but this veteran's running form fits right in with this group and could surprise if catches a late gear. LIVE FOREVER and GOGOGIO will be attempting consecutive wins and should get similar stalking trips. ATILLA KATIE projects as the one to catch but has faltered late in both summer starts, could catch a breather if able to set soft fractions.

5 About 5 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver claiming: $20,000. Purse: $19,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Ranger Loots (A.Canchari, Tracy Jr.)123/6-1

2: Stormy Rhonda (Butler, Robertson)123/2-1

3: Cabby Joshtin (Shaw, Reedy)123/12-1

4: Kissin Katy (Velazquez, Walker)118/10-1

5: Sierrastorm (Castro, Silva)118/15-1

6: Asdrubal (Vergara, Diodoro)123/7-2

7: Danzig Flare (Mojica, Silva)123/8-1

8: Zenergy (Hernandez, McFarlane)118/6-1

9: Myshadeofgray (Cruz, Silva)118/20-1

STORMY RHONDA has yet to finish off the board in her four career starts and enjoys a win three back in this turf sprint. Seducing Butler to ride doesn't hurt and is most likely favorite at post. ASDRUBAL comes in off her impressive win in her unveiling and now switches surfaces for the Diodoro barn. Expect DANZIG FLARE and RANGER LOOTS to be a handful early as major pace players.

6 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $25,000. Purse: $32,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: John's Luck (Rosier, Heitzmann)119/4-1

2: Harnersbach (Ramgeet, Lund)121/6-1

3: Smoltz (Delorme, Rhone)119/8-1

4: He's So Zazzy (Butler, Bravo)115/3-1

5: Saturdaynitelites (A.Canchari, W.Rarick)121/5-2

6: Six Ninety One (Mojica, Berndt)121/7-2

I'll give SATURDAYNITELITES a pass for an ugly run last out on the sloppy course; possibly could get back to winning ways with a dry surface. Will be closing from midpack, so hotter the pace, better for him. HE'S SO ZAZZY is proven at this level and will be a key factor on the front end. Been invigorated with a couple of quick morning drills since last effort. SIX NINETY ONE will be scrapping from the get-go and is clearly fast enough to run with this group. Winner last out in frontrunning fashion.

7 6½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $20,000. Purse: $20,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Solomon (Ramgeet, Lund)123/3-1

2: Kluszewski (Castro, Silva)123/8-1

3: Hot Yankee (A.Canchari, Scherer)118/12-1

4: Hansboro (Nolan, Sweere)123/8-1

5: Nesterenko Ridge (Mojica, Rengstorf)123/6-1

6: Expect Greatness (Goodwin, W.Rarick)119/6-1

7: Ensign Eli (Delorme, Padilla)123/10-1

8: True Ten (Vergara, Diodoro)123/4-1

9: Awesome Emmit (Butler, Bravo)119/12-1

KLUSZEWSKI steps up in class with loads of confidence after wide margin victory at the lower claiming level. Should get similar garden spot trip with ton of speed in front of him. SOLOMON failed as the favorite last out in allowance race and might have found the right level to turn things around. Will be closing late if ready to fire. TRUE TEN and EXPECT GREATNESS will be scrapping early at decent prices, might be best used as wealthy exotic plays.

8 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $20,000. Purse: $14,500.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Shal Pal's Castle (Hernandez, Fauchald)123/20-1

2: P J's Angel (Goodwin, Scherer)123/4-1

3: Stellabrini (Delorme, Donlin)123/7-2

4: Da Kleinen Schatzi (Mojica, Rengstorf)119/3-1

5: Kato Miss (Joubert, Hanson)123/6-1

6: Your Last Warning (Butler, Rhone)123/9-2

7: No Rain (A.Canchari, Turco)123/20-1

8: Renamed (Vergara, Biehler)119/6-1

DA KLEINEN SCHATZI went gate-to-wire last out and will attempt to duplicate that effort cutting back a half-furlong. YOUR LAST WARNING is undefeated in both starts this meet with Butler at the helm. Should get perfect trip tracking the pace near the front. P J'S ANGEL will close from the back of the pack and loom the late threat if things unravel down the stretch.

9 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $28,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Blue Key Rosie (Joubert, Hanson)119/8-1

2: Kings Own (Butler, Bravo)119/5-1

3: Sacey Bow (Ramgeet, Lund)119/3-1

4: I Have a Secret (Mojica, Bravo)119/7-5

5: Custom Paint Job (Rosier, Heitzmann)119/8-1

6: Flying Freud (Delorme, Padilla)119/6-1

I HAVE A SECRET chased the pace in a holding pattern in her debut and has been freshened up since with two quick morning drills. Trainer Bravo has strong numbers in second starts. Bravo also sends out KINGS OWN, who will be the rabbit for I Have A Secret to catch. BLUE KEY ROSIE is a intriguing play coming from far off the pace if the speed gets too heated up front between the two stablemates.

10 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Starter optional claiming: $5,000. Purse: $17,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Deadly Truth (Vergara, Diodoro)123/7-2

2: Pennant Fever (Joubert, Hanson)123/6-1

3: Unstoppable Colby (Butler, Diodoro)123/6-1

4: Gentle as a Breeze (Ramgeet, Van Winkle)123/10-1

5: Aunt Ruby's Kitten (Mojica, Litfin)123/4-1

6: Duty Proper (Velazquez, L. Rarick)123/7-5

DUTY PROPER will be pursued by all when jockey Velaquez puts him on the lead from the break, going hell-bent-for-election to the finish. Will get pushed by a group of hunters so pace meltdown is a major concern. AUNT RUBY'S KITTEN will be one of the runners keeping Duty Proper honest up front and is a winner two back after stalking the pace. DEADLY TRUTH drops for over half the price and will picking up the pieces late.
