7: Mogol (Suarez Ricardo, Black)122/12-1

EXCEPTIONALLY FAST bobbled at the start last out in futurity race and could prove tough with clean break. MISS PATTY CAKES has been knocking on the door with a lot of upside coming in. KATYS ROCKETRAMBLER has exhibited quick gate speed in both starts.

COUNTESS MENACE dueled but lost the head bob last out. JEDI CARTEL has been involved from the bell in both starts this summer and paying dividends at the finish. BAD GO GETTER ships up from Remington Park stepping down in class.

10: Seek the Noblest (Goncalves, Amoss)119/9-5

11: Purimeter (H. Sanchez, Manny Perez)119/5-1

Wide-open affair to start the early Pick 4. MINA LAKE stalked the pace and grabbed the late lead before giving way while settling for the third spot in turf experiment last effort. ALL AMERICAN MAN set the pace before fading late last out; looks to ration speed tonight to conserve oxygen on the stretch run. DOODLE HOPPER runs on the turf for first time after failing to break maiden on the dirt as the favorite last two out.

4 About 7½ Furlongs. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500

7: Born Lucky (Vergara, Diodoro)119/3-1

8: Bert'slittlesister (Butler, Bolinger)119/10-1

BORN LUCKY stalked and led late before tiring after coming off the shelf with the 13-month layoff. Might have needed that race and has been freshened up since. NORA'S SONG shortens up in distance after getting caught late and landing in the second spot. VISUAL BLESSING returns to the turf where she has ran her best races, expect to be prompting the pace from the get go.

5 About 7½ Furlongs. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $16,000. Purse: $22,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

8: Sweet Tango (Martinez, Robertson)123/6-1

9: Tactical Girl (Murphy, Sweere)119/8-1

FOG HAPPENS seeks three consecutive wins on the lawn while stepping up in class and cutting back in distance. A lot of confidence from the Keen stable. PILLOW will attempt to lead the group to the wire once again after getting nipped by a nose last out. SWEET TANGO and IT'S TAMERENO are must-use flying late on the stretch run.

6 5½ Furlongs. State-bred. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $12,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

9: Connie Lee (Murphy, Bethke)123/7-2

10: Belong to One (Velazquez, Sweere)123/9-2

I'll give BELONG TO ONE the tepid nod in the plunge in class with this unstable maiden group; should show early foot coming from the far outside post. CONNIE LEE is your M/L favorite and the one to catch to get the win; trust factor isn't there with 0-26 record. FLYLIKADIVA is a new shooter with some quick works for her coming out party.

7 6 Furlongs. State-bred. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $10,000. Purse: $10,500

8: Castle Queen (Sanchez, Tracy, Jr.)119/3-1

9: Dunkirk Victory (Carreno, Rengstorf)119/8-1

CASTLE QUEEN drops to lowest level in her brief career after failing to hit the board with her 2015 campaign; should get perfect stalking trip in a speed favoring pace. KATO MISS will come out firing and is destined to duel with a few rivals; snappy fractions could take a toll down the stretch. FABULOUS DAHL won lone start after knocking heads most the way before pulling away.

8 5½ Furlongs. Fillies and Mares. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $6,250. Purse: $11,500

7: Meloveda (Delorme, Bends)123/12-1

8: A P Pepper (Vergara, Diodoro)123/5-2

A P PEPPER drops to new low invading from Santa Anita for the Diodoro barn; decent works on the local venue for her Canterbury debut. SPEEL WINDER is usually in the money gimmicks but needs to break the habit of running in holding pattern; will be chasing the pace from the start. LADY'S DAY OFF ships up from Arlington Park after some dull efforts on the synthetic track; might enjoy returning to real dirt.

9 6½ Furlongs. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000

6: Hi Prim (Murphy, Hawley)123/20-1

7: Reflected Cat (Franco, Keen)123/5-1

8: Fire Game (Fackler, Turco)123/20-1

PUREST FORM jumps off the turf to the main track with swift early speed and projects as the one to catch with jockey Martinez aboard controlling his own destiny on the lead. GEORGE RAY will rally late while saving ground with the inside draw; merits respect with strong closing kick. TRAWEEK got the win last out with strong middle move as the favorite.

7: Going for Miles (Martinez, Robertson)123/7-2

SAMPSON COUNTY was second best in his return race and has tuned up with morning works, including a sharp bullet drill. FIRST TO FIGHT takes significant drop in class shipping up from Prairie Meadows in hopes of turning things around. GOING FOR MILES and REAL WINDY are major players coming off the pace dropping in class.
