1: Awesome Emmit (Juarez Jr., Donlin)124/5-1
2: All Shacked Up (Negron, Litfin)124/8-1
3: Please the Court (Quinonez, Litfin)124/2-1
4: C Dub (Wade, Diodoro)124/8-5
5: Flash Attack (Kennedy, Diodoro)124/7-2
FLASH ATTACK was claimed four back by Diodoro. Two of those starts were on off-tracks, which it appears he doesn't appreciate. Better effort expected on a fast track. ALL SHACKED UP appears to be lone speed, which is always dangerous. Hasn't visited the winners circle since the fall of 2017. He's definitely due. C DUB likes Canterbury, having won three of five here, but steps up in class.

5: Well Told (Eikleberry, Harty)119/5-2
6: Fallen Empire (Lindsay, Van Winkle)124/9-5
WORTHTHEMONEY returns to the dirt after starting his three-year-old campaign on synthetic and grass at Arlington. Possesses natural early speed and will try to go wire-to-wire. WELL TOLD is owned by Godolphin stable, which was busy last weekend capturing a little race called the Belmont Stakes. Showed speed going longer at Thistledowns and Tampa Bay. May like the cut-back in distance. FALLEN EMPIRE is a $450K Keeneland purchase that needs to step up his game to start whittling away at that purchase price.

5: Arnold's Patsy (Butler, Rhone)124/8-1
6: Pretty Sweet (Canchari, Robertson)124/2-1
PRETTY SWEET has some question marks coming into this race but returns to the Robertson barn after a race with his dad. Returns to the dirt and takes a major class drop. INTHEMISTYMOONLITE showed some early zip on the turf in last. Throw out her turf races and she's 4-for-4 in the money. Should appreciate the return to her preferred surface. LIBERTY FLIES ran a career-high speed figure in first local start. Does she have another improvement in her?

6: Tuffenoughtostart (Valenzuela, Rarick)119/9-2
7: Beautiful Babe (Kennedy, Diodoro)124/3-1
MILLARD'S COMET could be the controlling speed but is versatile enough to stalk if needed. Claimed for $20K at Oaklawn by top connections and runs for $5K today. BABY BEE MERRY broke her maiden on New Year's Day at Tampa Bay. Showed some early speed against tougher down south. Drop in class will provide relief. TUFFENOUGHTOSTART ran even in the mud in last race. Could show a late kick if the pace is right.

8: Rosehill Road (Butler, Rhone)119/8-1
9: Ringaroundtherosie (Wade, Williams)119/9-2
GHOST OF GENEVIEVE showed impressive speed in last, which has turned into a key race with the first- and second-place finishers returning to win next time out. Will be tough to beat on the rail. RUNAWAY A. TRAIN has more talent than displayed last time out. Dropping from maiden special weight and second off the layoff could be the key. BOOZIN AT BOZOS ran against better last summer and fired a bullet workout on May 22.

6: Loyal and True (Wade, Biehler)119/8-1
7: Love Ya Most (Arroyo, Stuart)119/8-1
8: Mizzanna (Lindsay, Sheehan)124/12-1
DEFEND THE ROSE will be loose on the lead and dictating the pace. The turf course has been favorable to speed recently. Ran two nice races over the Canterbury lawn last summer. FOXGLOVE raced well on the weeds this winter/spring at Tampa Bay against some competitive fields. Will need someone to pressure the top pick to improve her chances. LITTLE MISS BELLE tries the Canterbury sod for the first time and makes her first start for Cappellucci, who wins at 25% with newcomers to his barn.

9: Tapage (Wade, Richard)122/4-1
10: Buckys Pick (Fuentes, Keplin Jr.)124/8-1
TAPAGE made a nice closing move to take the lead in the deep stretch in the slop last time out only to be outclosed. Split two next-out winners and returns to a race with plenty of early pace. SUPER CONSTITUTION flopped as the favorite in his last race in the slop. Looks to make amends today with a winning effort. PAYNTER PARTY raced against some classy ones this spring at Oaklawn and will be closing from the clouds.

6: Visual Magic (R. Fuentes, Flores)122/6-1
7: Machos Vision (Quinonez, Biehler)122/8-1
8: Wildly Dramatic (Wade, Biehler)119/7-2
MACHOS VISION turns back in distance after showing speed form the 10 post last out. Should be able to navigate a nice trip from the outside and pass all of them in the stretch. BLUES MARY has speed to spare and has tried this distance seven times with one victory. Raced eight days ago in Chicago. Very quick turnaround. LASTING LIGHT chased a very hot runner last out after being rained off the turf. Could be prominent early.
