Post time: 1:30 p.m. Best bet: Already There (3rd race). Best Pick 3: Race 2, $1, (1,3,4,5,/2,/1,2,4,6,7,8,), $28 1st race 1 mile 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $3,500. Purse: $9,000. (#/Horse, Jockey, Trainer Wt.Odds) 1/Mr. Rancho Vista, Walker Jr., Martinez1233-1 2/Jestintime, Stevens, Van Winkle1239-2 3/Tsar Tops Dancer, Butler, Rhone1237-2 4/No Laughing Matter, Velazquez, Martinez1235-1 5/Barclay Drive, Delorme, Courtemanche12315-1 6/Gesundeit, Canchari, Rengstorf1185-1 7/Consulate, Riggs, Padilla1234-1 TSAR TOPS DANCER should enjoy the stretchout after bidding 5-wide in sprint to get up for second in last effort. Have to like the two works coming in for the Rhone barn. MR. RANCHO VISTA could make a living running for place money this summer and why change position today going for his fourth consecutive silver medal being the one to catch. JESTINTIME will be closing late as he did in his six sprints this meet and should too enjoy added distance. 2nd race 6 1/2 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $3,500. Purse: $9,000. 1/La Malinche, Delorme, Suter1236-1 2/With All My Heart, Canchari, Erfle11812-1 3/Shamus On Me, Goodwin, Gourneau1235-2 4/Cryptic Affair, Morales, Weidner12310-1 5/All Bets Are Off, Butler, Rengstorf1239-5 6/Dangerous Peg, Castro, Fauchald12330-1 7/Tiger Grove, Velazquez, Courtemanche12312-1 8/Ourprettysalleyjo, Keith, Axmaker12310-1 9/Hole in One, Riggs, Scherbenske1238-1 SHAMUS ON ME missed last out by a nose after drifting out down the stretch at a huge price. Could be tough if jockey Goodwin can maintain this 8 year-old mare running straight towards the finish. ALL BETS ARE OFF gets jockey switch to Butler and looks to get first win this meet after five consecutive dividend payouts. CRYTIC AFFAIR cuts back in distance and should be sitting off the heels of the front runners. 3rd race 6 1/2 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $10,500. 1/Don't Rush Justice, Castro, Berndt1186-1 2/Already There, Morales, Brinson1209-5 3/Northern Thunder, Velazquez, Rarick12115-1 4/Just Say It, Walker Jr., Rarick1215-2 5/World of Color, Shino, Jensen1218-1 6/I'm the Gold, Dieguez, Pate12110-1 7/Slew the Tiger, Canchari, Weidner11620-1 8/Resley Creek, Delorme, Smith1218-1 9/In for a Song, Canchari, Fauchald11615-1 ALREADY THERE could prove tough opponent if runs back to last performance. Brinson gelding shook loose from the field at quick fractions in first appearance shipping in from California. JUST SAY IT is the obvious danger pressing the pace and is always in the mix but has trouble getting picture in the winner's circle. Must use on exacta/trifecta tickets. DON'T RUSH JUSTICE took a step down last out after dull performance and needs to regain previous form to be a factor. 4th race 1 mile 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $11,000. 1/Bean, Riggs, Fallford1196-1 2/Third Rail, Canchari, Shryock1145-1 3/Hansomely, Shino, House11910-1 4/Not So Fast Festus, Keith, Biehler1196-1 5/Raton Pass, Walker Jr., Rarick11910-1 6/High Spirit, Velazquez, Brinson1193-1 7/Syd Licious, Rivera, McShane1235-1 8/Vini Vidi Vinci, Goodwin, Scott1237-2 Brinson has a decent shot to win two consecutive, sending out deep closer HIGH SPIRIT, who closed fast but wide to get up for third last out. Should have faster pace scenario today. VINI VIDI VINCI is yet another dangerous closer who won last out circling the field and was claimed by trainer Kelly Lynn Scott. Goodwin remains as the pilot. NOT SO FAST FESTUS comes off a gutty victory at this distance after setting the pace and hooking up in early duel. 5th race 7 1/2 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $13,000. 1/Bravo Prado, Goodwin, Biehler1213-1 2/Beat Your Bluff, Butler, Rhone11912-1 3/Melbas Slew, Velazquez, McKinley11920-1 4/Gold Country Cat, Rivera, Biehler1236-1 5/Brax, Canchari, Hop11415-1 6/Erv the Banker, Stevens, Rengstorf1238-1 7/Tymaker, Bell, Lund11910-1 8/Ballet Way, Dieguez, Pate11915-1 9/Blast'em, Franco, Silva1198-1 10/Brave Little Bull, Prado, Newman11930-1 11/Sommelier Smarty, Rivera, Van Winkle1198-1 12/Tricky Causway, Riggs, Hartman1195-2 BRAVO PRADO, who appears the one to beat, won two back at this level and distance. Goodwin should come out firing from the gate and will be on or near the lead off the rail. TYMAKER will be sitting off the pace and will be in the hunt as usual with many close calls for victory this summer. Good underneath play. GOLD COUNTRY CAT returns to turf coming off a victory on the main track sprinting. Runs well on any either surface. 6th race 6 1/2 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $11,000. 1/Big City Bernie, Riggs, Rarick1194-1 2/Marathon Moon, Butler, Bends1198-1 3/Sugar Peaks, Rhone, Arterburn11912-1 4/Tahkodha Bill, Keith, Hanson1196-1 5/Stratos, Dieguez, Suter1197-2 6/Express Air, Canchari, Erfle11612-1 7/Buddy George, Shino, Fallford11912-1 8/Peckinpah, Delorme, Kirby11910-1 9/Duke Deluxe, Goodwin, Donlin1233-1 DUKE DELUXE is a win machine on this track and is seeking his fourth consecutive today. Should enjoy tracking inside speed starting from outside post with Goodwin at the helm. STRATOS won last out by a neck length closing well while running wide. Repeat performance makes this veteran tough. BIG CITY BERNIE drops in class off the turf and should enjoy cutting back in distance from ground saving rail position. 7th race 5 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $21,000. 1/Gracias, Dieguez, Silva1236-1 2/Songofthecity, Bell, Mamakos11912-1 3/Avenue Sister, Riggs, Robertson1199-2 4/Letters for Lunch, Shino, Corcoran1198-1 5/Isabella the Lady, Butler, Bravo1198-1 6/Machorina, Keith, Biehler1213-1 7/Medical Angels, Goodwin, Kirby11910-1 8/Mining Town, Delorme, Smith1196-1 9/Second Street City, Walker Jr., Scherer1195-1 MACHORINA looks real tough here after winning in front speed fashion last out after three-month layoff. Should be set to fire once again with Lori Keith pushing the go button. AVENUE SISTER probably will get first crack to pounce if Machorina gets hooked up in a speed duel and weakens. Has beaten favorite last two out. SECOND STREET CITY is a consistent runner who had a bumper car experience last effort finishing off the board. Expect better trip today. 8th race 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $5,000. Purse: $10,500. 1/Pyrocies, Castro, Salazar12115-1 2/Cherryful Lady, P. Canchari, L. Canchari11312-1 3/Call Me Dutchess, Shino, Falldorf1216-1 4/Lime Cat, Walker Jr., Litfin12112-1 5/Mane Slick, Goodwin, Danger1216-1 6/Ms Manana, Velazquez, Lund1185-1 7/Threat Assessment, Keith, Hanson1214-1 8/Shuffie J Bear, Riggs, Robertson1189-2 9/Nabisco Cat, Trimble, Corcoran1235-1 10/My Sweet Revenge12120-1 THREAT ASSESSMENT should get a nice view of the heated pace up front to get first attack on. Won both races in June before running second last out on a muddy track. MAIN SLICK and MS MANANA are just a couple of the speedballs in this race who will be hooking up early. Both have had their picture taken in winner's circle this meet. SHUFFIE J BEAR has two wins and a place honor coming in for trainer Robertson.
