Post time: 1:33 p.m. Best bet: Bp Painted Lady (9th race). Best play: 50 cent Pick 4 (3,4,5/4,5/1,2,3,7/2,3,7) $36.00 (4th). 1st race 1 mile. 3 year-olds and up. Maiden Claiming $10,000. Purse $11,000. (#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds) 1/Rosyredpepper (Riggs, Hartman)1234-1 2/Tru omega (Rivera Jr., Riecken)1236-1 3/My Gal (Castro, Bravo)1235-2 4/Lady Powerscourt (Butler, Rhone)1187-2 5/Cassidilly (Goodwin, Berndt)1183-1 6/Galway Moon (Trimble, McFadden)1236-1. MY GAL races for the first time for trainer Bravo after being claimed at Arlington facing tougher. Bravo is hitting 38 percent sending out barn firsters. CASSIDILLY also ships up from the Chicago area facing better and puts the blinkers on today. Concern is has yet to hit the board in 4 career starts. LADY POWERSCOURT stretches out after failing to fire in first career start. Looked green and should improve today after training session for trainer Rhone. Butler stays at the helm. 2nd race 5 1/2 furlongs. 3 year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse $26,880. 1/Stillwater Storm (Rivera, Oliver)1214-1 2/Heart's of Gold (Goodwin, Robertson)1215-2 3/Martha's Yankee (Bell, Bogdanovich)1215-1 4/Sputey's Cabin (Riggs, Padilla)1193-1 5/Jills Summer Raine (Stevens, Oliver)1172-1. SPUTEY'S CABIN took the lead, dueled, and pull away from the field in first start of the season 27 days ago. Should be well rested and looks to keep improving today. JILL'S SUMMER RAINE has ran for show money in the first two races of the meet, running evenly in both. Should get decent pace to stalk from the outside but needs to show a final kick third time around. HEART'S OF GOLD stalked last out at this level but weakened down the stretch as the favorite. Needs to regain previous form. 3rd race 6 furlongs. 3 year-olds and up. Maiden Claiming $10,000. Purse $11,000. 1/Symbia (Riggs, Scherbenske)1198-1 2/Hwy Onetwentyeight (Arroyo, Porter)1192-1 3/Rocket Wrench (Butler, Rhone)1235-2 4/Harley Man (Dieguez, Pfeifer)1198-1 5/Run Trevor Run (Prado, Fennell)12315-1 6/Tuff Cowboy (Keith, Biehler)1198-1 7/Alworth (Franco, Silva)1195-1 8/Roger's Star (Trimble, Miller)11910-1. ALWORTH looks tough shipping in from the West Coast after facing tons better. Trainer Silva has started to get rolling with his barn after a slow start. ROCKET WRENCH showed good early speed last out and even grabbed the lead before being out-finished three weeks ago. Should be tough right back with blinkers on. SYMBIA drops to a new low in brief career and is coming off a couple or route races. Needs to show some early speed off the rail with Riggs aboard. 4th race 5 furlongs. 2 year-olds. Maiden Special Weight. Purse $20,000. 1/Mis Guided Missile (Dieguez, Hartman)1186-1 2/Portales (Stevens, Smith)1186-1 3/Divine Doris (Rivera Jr., Corcoran)1186-1 4/Ty's Private Betty (Keith, Biehler)1185-1 5/My Special Rose (Velazquez, Bethke)1134-1 6/Cahuilla Princess (Riggs, Hartman)1189-2 7/Class of Twentyten (Goodwin, Rengstorf)1185-2. PORTALES looks tough after a decent debut at Lone Star and has a bullet drill here locally. Stevens gets the ride. CLASS OF TWENTYTEN works suggest she is cranked for her unveiling today and looks to have the best chance for victory of the new shooters. DIVINE DORIS also begins career today with a solid work tab for trainer Corcoran, who excels with first timers. 5th race About 1 Mile. 3 year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse $21,000. 1/Attar of Rose (Walker Jr., Lund)1218-1 2/Latika Love (Riggs, Robertson)1219-2 3/Hidden Harbor (Stevens, Schindler)1216-1 4/Visual Blessing (Castro, Bravo)1165-1 5/Minnesota Thunder (Butler, Rengstorf)1166-1 6/Morgans a Blumin (Bell, Robertson)1212-1 7/Pomeroy Girl (Keith, Biehler)1235-1. MORGAN'S A BLUMIN looks tough if race stays on the grass. Deep closer looks tough who just missed last out going tad shorter, so added distance is a positive. HIDDEN HARBOR is the one to catch on or off the grass. Won two back on the turf going gate-to-wire and could lull the field to sleep if gets easy fractions. LATIKA LOVE missed hitting the board last effort after running evenly throughout the race and was positioned to strike but failed too. Should show better effort today. 6th race About 1 Mile. 3 year-olds and up. Claiming $25,000. Purse $17,000. 1/Shimmy Tinjo (Riggs, Robertson)1217-2 2/Mr. Bubba Cat (Walker Jr., Scherer)1233-1 3/Far Flung (Goodwin, Silva)1215-1 4/Jix (Dieguez, Pfeifer)1218-1 5/Willie Prevail (Keith, Riddle)12112-1 6/Chisenau (Franco, Silva)12110-1 7/Stalking Lion (Butler, Rengstorf)1189-2 8/Image of Grandeur (Bell, Becker)1215-1. Tough race and could use all button in Pick 4 ticket. Give slight edge to SHIMMY TINJO who finished just short in second career race on the grass closing from deep in the pack. Looks tougher if race switches to dirt. MR. BUBBA CAT will be on the front leading the field as far as he can. Lost by a neck after being reeled in before the finished line. STALKING LION is another front runner who tries grass for the first time today. Shook clear and won by over 4 lengths last out with Butler piloting. 7th race 1 Mile 70 Yards. 3 year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse $10,500. 1/Big Thompson (Riggs, Padilla)1215-1 2/Cowboy Luke (Walker Jr., Padilla)1185-1 3/In for a Song (Rivera, Shryock)1215-1 4/Covert Mission (Castro, Perez)1215-1 5/Carnival Candyman (Trimble, Lund)1215-1 6/Deal of a Lifetime (Velazquez, Davis Jr.)1165-1 7/Northern Thunder (Morales, Rarick)1215-1 8/Tapinot (Butler, Biehler)1215-1. BIG THOMPSON could prove tough after running for place last out after grabbing the lead before losing it after drifting out. Riggs stays for the ride and should improve off that race. CONVERT MISSION is the class of this group after facing much better on the turf at Arlington. Has run well on dirt surface at this level including a dominating win four back. COWBOY LUKE won last out as the heavy favorite but at slow fractions and worked extremely hard. Facing tougher field today. 8th race 350 Yards. 2 year-olds. Trials. Purse $5,000. 1/Brief Case of Corona (Beeson, Johnson)1223-1 2/Midnight Sunlight (Smith, Hanson)1228-5 3/Dashmania (Smith, Blair)1227-2 4/My Magic Perry (Fennell, Miller)12210-1 5/The Clinic (Smith, Johnson)1228-1 6/Nn Absolutely (Goodwin, Hardy)1224-1 MIDNIGHT SUNLIGHT looks tough in the first of four trial Q horse races. Failed to fire last out but if finds previous form, looks tough to beat. DASHMANIA is a new shooter with two bullet drills in both works. Nn ABSOLUTLEY ran gamely in lone start in the mud for trainer Hardy. 9th race 350 Yards. 2 year-olds. Trials. Purse $5,000. 1/Mighty Zoom (Delorme, Svendsen)1225-1 2/Tickle the Ivorys (Smith, Johnson)1227-2 3/Naked Spur (Frink, Hanson)1229-2 4/Mr Shakem Diva (Goodwin, Hardy)1225-1 5/Bp Painted Lady (Smith, Blair)1227-5 6/Mr Buck Ten (Wellington, Johnson)12210-1. BP PAINTED LADY is the most logical single of the four trials. Strong performances in fillies three starts with 1 win and 2 seconds. TICKLE THE IVORYS is going for three straight wins after closing fast and digging in first two. Main challenger to top pick. MR SHAKEM DIVA had the lead last out but had to settle for place honors as the favorite. Goodwin remains for the ride. 10th race 350 Yards. 2 year-olds. Trials. Purse $5,000. 1/Eye a Hero (Smith, Blair)1225-2 2/Tarin Ta Fame (Beeson, Johnson)1228-1 3/Lynns Wagon (Goodwin, Hardy)1225-1 4/Mr Zoomin Away (Smith, Johnson)1228-1 5/Jess Thats Blazin (Delorme, Svendsen)1229-5 6/Streaking Light (Frink, Hanson)1224-1. EYE A HERO faced tougher at Remington after being outrun in both starts. Facing a field more to his liking today which could be the right prescription for first victory. JESS THATS BLAZIN has one victory in three starts and looks to be in the hunt around the finish line. Broke clean from the gate in the past two starts, so looks to be in lead early. STREAKING LIGHT had a steady gain in lone start to grab second for trainer Hanson, who is off to a fast start here. Wide-open race. 11th race 350 Yards. 2 year-olds. Trials. Purse $5,000. 1/Jess Lika Blair (Smith, Johnson)1225-2 2/Coronas Best (Delorme, Svendsen)1228-1 3/Cartel Fame (Beeson, Johnson)1225-1 4/Sr Ivory Queen (Smith, Blair)1228-1 5/Traffic Patrol (Goodwin, Hardy)1229-5 6/Flight Patterns (Frink, Weidner)1224-1. TRAFFIC PATROL won first out here getting up in final stride. Back-to-back wins victories probable as filly should keep improving. FLIGHT PATTERN ships up from Remington after being outrun against tougher rivals. Should enjoy outside post avoiding the bumping at start. CARTEL FAME finished right behind our top pick losing by a neck. Looks to reverse decision this time out. Follow Love at www.exoticplays.com or @StribLove on Twitter.
