THE TASCODA KID is strictly the one to beat with speed figures towering this field. MAVEN HARRY appears to be the main threat to the favorite after uncorking a big run last out. DOC RADKE has a outside shot going down in class but will have to give best performance to date to get the victory.

8: Man of Strife (Shepherd, House)120/10-1

9: Aroney (Mojica, Tony Rengstorf)120/9-2

Trainer Bernell Rhone will be searching for his sixth consecutive win to start the season with LUCKY LEROY BROWN. ARONEY returns to the turf where the veteran gives his best efforts. VOODOO STORM will be my top selection if race is taken't off the sod due to moisture.

3 6 furlongs. State-bred. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $33,000.

7: Richard Thomas (Velazquez, Scherer)124/6-1

8: Bold Raider (Goodwin, Cole)124/20-1

HOT SHOT KID is the logical single on most Pick 4 tickets. RICHARD THOMAS just missed last out after a bumpy trip and off a year absence from competing. TAVERNONTHECROW ran in the spot behind Richard Thomas in same race and too had troubled trip. Capable of making a step forward.

4 7½ furlongs. Turf. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $14,500.

12: With Highest Honor (Shepherd, Holder)120/20-1

13: Bourbon Happens (Acosta, Sharp)120/2-1

JERRYS TWO TICKETS last race on the turf was a late rally win at Remington Park last November. IVER WITH AN E faced much tougher competition last fall and is eligible to improve on the local turf course. SEA TREATY is the beatable favorite here.

5 6 furlongs. State-bred. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $32,000.

8: Joe Money (Lindsay, Silva)119/4-1

9: Nite Goggles (Velazquez, Brinson)119/9-5

10: Dark Captain (Loveberry, Wiley)124/20-1

NITE GOGGLES could prove tough with repeat of last effort in this untrustworthy maiden group. JOE MONEY had some bumper car action out of the gate in return race but managed to get up for show dollars. STAR SPANGLED and SWEET PROUD NATIVE will be dedicated to the front battling it out, waiting for others to arrive.

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

10: Mines Made Up (Velazquez, Berndt)119/8-5

11: Johnny the Jet (Mojica, Riecken)124/5-1

MINES MADE UP drops for over half the price for the Berndt barn transferring up from Keeneland. MONDAY CONFESSION pressed the pace, took over, and faded back to the place position last effort. JOHNNY THE JET should get a nice stalking trip with a speed favoring pace.

7 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,500.

8: Madikwe (Ramgeet, Metz)124/5-1

9: Wildcard (Delorme, Riecken)124/15-1

Good betting race with many ways to go. BATKID makes his first appearance on the local surface transferring over from Emerald Downs. LOGAN'S HEROE got up in every stride to get the win in his lone start. BEST TRICK YET drops to career low and takes the blinkers off in hopes of turning things around for the Canchari team.

8 5½ furlongs. State-bred. 3-year-olds and up. Waiver maiden claiming $10,000. Purse: $11,500.

10: Joker's Mischief (Shepherd, Miller)119/10-1

11: Carosteiin (Loveberry, Biehler)119/10-1

BEST OF THE BLEU'S been training smartly and is facing his weakest field in his brief career. DUOO'S WILD could pull the upset in his debut if ready to fire. TAZ WARRIOR is probably the only other opponent to get the win if favorite isn't set to go.
