1: Prairie Crusader (A. Canchari, Berndt)118/9-2

2: Saviormoney (Rivera, Van Winkle)118/8-1

3: Sam's Silver Star (Ochoa, Rengstorf)118/12-1

7: Bet Your Socks (Stevens, Rhone)118/8-5

8: A P the M V P (Keith, Biehler)118/5-1

BET YOUR SOCKS was claimed by trainer Rhone after a couple of decent starts showing early speed at Prairie Meadows as the veteran of this field of 2-year-olds. I'll give newbies SAM'S SILVER STAR and REGARDS the best chance of winning for trainers who do well with first-timers.

2 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $6,250. Purse: $10,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Royal Wish (A. Canchari, Bethke)123/15-1

7: Slew City Sin (Rhone, Arterburn)123/3-1

8: Smart Masterpiece (P. Canchari, L. Canchari)123/12-1

MY FEET HURT drops in class, shipping up from Arlington Park after four efforts of missing the board. Should find this field more to his liking. COSMIC SURFER enters with a solid series of works off a four-month layoff. Drops in class and should find this field more ideal. FISKEY closed late in two sprints to grab show money; should enjoy stretching it out tonight.

3 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $14,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: George Ray (Eikleberry, Padilla)119/4-1

2: Outoftheclouds (Butler, Lund)119/10-1

3: Casey's On Call (Goodwin, Brinson)123/9-2

6: Thatlleaveamark (Rivera, Van Winkle)119/5-2

7: Jimmy Got Even (A. Canchari, Berndt)119/6-1

8: Free Sailing (Keith, Bravo)119/10-1

THATLLEAVEAMARK plunges from allowance race to claimer with good early pursuing speed. Has run for place honors last two out. CASEY'S ON CALL is all speed and will shoot for third consecutive win. Will have to fend off others up front. GEORGE RAY comes off the rail cutting back in distance as a major player.

4 About 11⁄16 miles. Turf. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $27,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Chatty Lou (P. Canchari, L. Canchari)122/20-1

2: Chongo (Butler, Brueggemann)122/5-2

3: Rico Suave (Eikleberry, Scherer)118/2-1

4: K Js Maddog (Von Rosen, Lund)122/10-1

5: Joshua's Journey (Martin, Lund)122/5-1

6: Finding Candy (Keith, Biehler)118/9-2

7: Human Eraser (A. Canchari, Rarick)122/6-1

8: Al Musaddad (Keith, Biehler)122/3-1

CHONGO had lead last out but weakened late to hold on for third. Jockey change to Butler might make a difference; does his best riding on the grass. RICO SUAVE charged ahead of Chongo to get up for second-best and should be tough coming right back as the deserving favorite. HUMAN ERASER tries the turf for the first time and brings in two consecutive wins.

5 5 furlongs. 2-year-olds. Maiden special weight. Purse: $25,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Finishline Fever (Ochoa, Brinson)118/12-1

2: Blue Star Cat (Keith, Biehler)118/12-1

3: Dashing Dixie Boy (Bell, Hanson)118/7-2

4: Rodriguez (Shepherd, Berndt)118/12-1

5: The K. B. Edition (Vergara, Porter)118/15-1

9: Offers Are Cheap (Olesiak, Smith)118/10-1

10: At My Discretion (Eikleberry, Lund)118/4-1

11: Tiz Happens (Martin, Oberlander)118/5-1

DASHING DIXIE BOY is one of the few with a race under his belt. Broke alertly showing early speed before tiring. First-time starter SOUTHERN CHATTER has some quick works at 4 and 5 furlongs. AT MY DISCRETION has a couple of bullet works for trainer Lund coming in.

6 About 7½ furlongs. Turf. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $20,000. Purse: $19,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Chile Win (Luark, S. Miller)123/8-1

2: Alphabets Tuff Gal (Keith, Porter)123/6-1

3: Seemebythesea (Shepherd, Bolinger)123/8-1

4: Hard Cider (Escobar, Stuart)119/4-1

5: Minnesota Thunder (Eikleberry, Rengstorf)123/5-2

6: Two Bayme (A. Canchari, Porter)123/8-1

7: Feisty Flirt (Stevens, Green)123/12-1

8: Mountain Kitty (Butler, Bravo)119/8-1

9: Miss Frigidaire (Martin, McKenzie)123/10-1

10: Pleasant Life (Bell, Hanson)123/7-2

11: Theatre of Dreams (A. Canchari, Robertson)123/6-1

FEISTY FLIRT's best running has taken place on the grass. Returns after nine-month hiatus from turf racing. Gets HOF jockey Stevens to ride. MINNESOTA THUNDER had past two races taken off the turf because of rain, so sure would love a sunny day because last win occurred on the turf three back. PLEASANT LIFE is a must-use if gets in off also-entered list with a scratch.

7 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $6,250. Purse: $11,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Yu Tiger Yu (Hernandez, Ibarra)118/30-1

2: C J Mamas Boy (Shepherd, Robertson)123/8-1

3: Hava Cigar (Von Rosen, Chambers)123/9-2

4: Brother Dudeleo (A. Canchari, Berndt)123/5-1

5: River Dance (Stevens, Rhone)123/12-1

6: Bandini's Dream (Eikleberry, Lund)123/5-1

7: Franks On Fire (Martin, Riecken)123/6-1

8: Soul Sacrifice (Velazquez, Scherer)123/3-1

9: Scorsese (Escobar, Brueggemann)123/6-1

SOUL SACRIFICE looks much the best on paper and should be much the best with a huge class edge over his rivals. C J MAMAS BOY also drops in class but will need to step it up a notch after failing to respond last out. SCORSESE won by four lengths last out at this level and distance.

8 330 yards. 2-year-olds. Maiden claiming $15,000. Purse: $9,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Corona Bayou (Luark, Willis)122/8-1

2: Tuff E Nagurski (Goodwin, Hardy)122/6-1

3: Two Swirl Merle (Shaw, Haglund)122/10-1

4: Just Stridin Ivory (Suarez Ricardo, Hanson)122/12-1

5: Prayin for Daylight (Von Rosen, Sharp)122/12-1

6: Zoomin Deal (Fennell, Hunt)122/6-1

7: Teller Im Here (Buening, Johnson)122/15-1

8: Uhyusti (Eikleberry, Harris)122/4-1

9: Alllustnolove (Torres, Wessels)122/3-1

10: Sallye Rand (Smith, Hunt)122/8-1

JUST STRIDIN IVORY broke in and went on collision course blowing all chances of win last out. Clean break puts him in the mix. UHYUSTI was a nervous Nelly in the gate before the start and could prove tough if returns to previous relax form. ZOOMIN DEAL lacked late bid in debut but should be stronger second time out.

9 250 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming $7,500. Purse: $7,000.

#/Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Hello Gracie (Frink, Pride)124/8-1

2: Brass for Cash (Delorme, Ibarra)124/12-1

3: A Runnaway Train (Fennell, Miller)124/5-2

4: Sweet Habanero (S. Smith, Hardy)124/6-1

5: Star Cydeana (Luark, Blair)126/9-5

6: Bye Bye First Bird (Von Rosen, Sharp)124/15-1

7: Wheely Rare (Swiontek, Clevenger)126/10-1

8: Soxx a Blazin (Torres, Blair)126/8-1

STAR CYDEANA has landed in second spot last two out and is definitely one to take notice of with a sharp start. A RUNNAWAY TRAIN finished right behind Star Cydeanna last out. HELLO GRACIE and BRASS FOR CASH are must-use on exotic tickets.
