16: Smokin' Mo (Delorme, Pfeifer)118/30-1
SPIRIT GRABBER will let others sacrifice themselves up front sitting right off the pace with ground-saving rail trip. Price will be right to give a look in attempt to break his maiden. BLUFFS EDGE was a well-bet disappointment, finishing off the board with after a five-wide journey. M/L favorite is tough to put on top with 0-14 record. BEST OF THE BLEU'S will vie for command up front from the break and puts the blinkers on with jockey switch.

16: Permit to Carry (Hernandez, Silva)123/30-1
PENSADOR has four straight stake races under his belt, including a hard fought victory in the Minnesota Derby. Trainer Bravo has solid numbers in first turf attempts and dirt/turf angle. MORE ON TAP had a rough start out of the gate last effort and deserves another chance with clean start. CHICORY BLUE will come flying late at expected heated fractions.

14: Malibu Pro (A.Canchari, Robertson)119/8-1
15: To Persevere (Coddington, Litfin)120/30-1
V. I. DANCER returns off the extended layoff for the Sharp stable with encouraging works. Could prove tough opponent if regains his form. MINA LAKE should be flattered by a fast pace coming from the rear. Must consider at a healthy price. SOMSI cuts back from routing with ample early speed for strong connections. Lightly raced runner should be ready to pop.

12: You Be Gator Bait (Cruz, Butler)123/12-1
STREET FIGHTING drops a notch after running second best last two efforts. Should keep front runners honest on the lead. SHEER TRICK has been improving little by little. Positive jockey switch gives him a shot. BIG MAN STAN comes in from off the pace style victory; take notice that Butler remains aboard.

13: Zero (Becerra, Rhone)123/10-1
KELA BREW wheels back six days after flattening out in route race last out. Should appreciate the cutback. SHOOTERS ALLEY exits same race as Kela Brew, and finished two spots ahead. Think this favorite would prefer staying at two turns. BOLD ADVANTAGE is allowance dropper and has hit the board in all summer starts.

FOLLOW THE SPIDERS plunges in class in hopes of getting to the wire first with her late closing bid. HEY FUNNY too takes significant class drop while cutting back in distance in hopes of turning things around. ACADEMIC BAY is usually improving late but will have to step it up a notch to get the job done.

14: Emerald Point (Hernandez, Miller)123/20-1
DISTRACTION does her best running on the dirt and returns after a below-par effort last out on the turf. Should be the day's best with surface switch and big drop in class. CANTAFFORDANOTHER has back-to-back wins coming in and will be a handful down the stretch. LONELY LOVER and OLTIMATE BROAD are going to be healthy prices but are legit players.

13: Lookin At Larry (Delorme, Kane)123/30-1
SIR NAVIGATOR will be a generous price and will be arriving tardy to the party with all the early crashers tiring late. Big shot at a big price. I think BAR FIGHT has the best shot of the speedballs to last the longest with Scott Stevens aboard. Went all the way on the lead last out at a short price. TRUE WEST will go for third straight win while stalking the pace before making big move down the stretch.

10: Flashy Jewel (Ramgeet, Diodoro)119/12-1
MAJESTIC PRIDE is as consistent as they come and returns to the dirt where he won going away by 15 lengths three back. FEAR THE COWBOY is a dangerous shipper from Evangeline and exits his best race to date, winning big stakes race down there while striding away. PEYTON is a must consider for a strong team and class experience.

11: My Place Or Yours (Mojica, McShane)123/8-1
LEADING THE BAND has good back speed to swallow up the field with the drop in class. Should have enough speed in her view to close on for the win. GRATZIE will be involved from the bell but is too light on winning form to put up on top. SPEEL WINDER hasn't got it done in a year plus, but is always a game fighter. Will be forcing the pace from the get-go.

SOLAMENTE might of found the right group to finally get the job done in his seventh start as the favorite. BEARING NORTH will be in pursuit from the start and seeks better performance after ugly run last out. REGAL RIVAL is legit threat on the lead with Canchari as the pilot, don't overlook at a big price.
