4: Cokato Cartel (Clark, Harris)126/2-1
5: Ms McDreamy (Martinez, Olmstead)124/9-2
6: My Dynasty Chick (Ricardo, Hanson)126/6-1
Ms McDREAMY has four consecutive diseased starts but prevailed last out getting up in time for win. Clean break and could pull the upset. COKATO CARTEL faced tons better last season and could prove tough foe if ready to fire. FAST EDDYS EYEYINYOU enters with back-to-back wins and is the one to beat.

6: Queen of Caddo (Goodwin, Hybsha)124/8-1
7: Hal Merry (Castro, Pride)124/12-1
SHESA SHAZOOM looks for first win but must break her bad gate habits to do so. Barn is off to quick start. THIS DOLL CA RUN usually finishes strong and enters with a couple of nice works. KISS ME I'M COUNTRY broke sharply but failed to hold lead and had to settle for show dollars off extended absence.

8: Bear Down (Franco, Riecken)123/20-1
9: Dazzle Man (P.Canchari, Cole)123/6-1
10: Holy Brass (Castro, Weir)123/7-2
If ORFAN OLE can transfer his early speed with the surface switch to the grass, the veteran might be able to dictate the pace and steal his first win in 20th attempt. WHO LET DACAT OUT tries the turf for first time in third career start off the long layoff. Pedigree suggests he might take a liking to the grass. Lukewarm M/L favorite HOLY BRASS will be pressing issues from the start but tough to put on top with a 0-17 record. Worthy to put underneath.

10: Schindlers Risk (Delorme, Schindler)123/15-1
11: Golden Touch (Rosier, Litfin)119/15-1
GOLDEN TOUCH gets class relief in second effort on the turf and figures to run better coming from off the pace, benefiting from contested fractions. Expect GAVAR and ANXIOUS DREAMS to be involved from the bell destined to duel. Both come off pace-setting victories.

8: Makinmymark (Hernandez, Lund)119/9-2
9: Magnificent Margo (Rosier, Sharp)119/4-1
If MANILLE regains her form from last year, she'll be awfully tough to beat. Solid work tab coming in for her 2016 love campaign. Stablemate LUVIN BULLIES tagged along from the east coast too for her first race of the year. Looks like the one to fear rolling late. D R C's PRETTY SKY tries the turf experiment tonight but has a strong class edge on the field. Look to come flying out of the gate with her quick early foot.

5: Diggin My Toes (Hernandez, Butler)118/8-1
6: Hi Lo Silver (Goodwin, Silva)118/5-1
Little separates these baby girls going by their workouts in preparation for their initiation to racing. R J's SILVER SYD supports three decent morning clicks for meet's hottest trainer. DANCING WITH EVE gets the ideal inside draw for these 3½-furlong sprints and seduces top jockey to ride. Stablemates PRINCESS SUNRISE and HI LO SILVER will be my other two selections to start my Late Pick 4 ticket.

6: Qahr (Delorme, Sheehan)123/20-1
7: Sunday Prohibition (Sanchez, Rengstorf)123/5-2
PEONARI was a slop specialist last out, going gate-to-wire on muddy track. Usually shadows the pace on fast track which would be the best decision in group stocked with speedballs. BELLAMY RUN comes off impressive late-closing win on the turf here last week and now brings his confidence to the main track. LEAVINGLOSANGLES stretches out to two turns with tactical speed and should be part of the sacrifice up front for the late runners.

5: My Place Or Yours (Martin, Jr., Litfin)119/5-2
6: Always a Chance (Carreno, Diodoro)119/9-5
ALWAYS A CHANCE should be schlepping along in the rear with a foundation of speed in front of her. Expect to gather up rivals late. MY PLACE OR YOURS escorted the pace last effort and had brief lead before giving way prior to wire. Usually gets in the gimmicks but hasn't seen the winner's circle in nearly two years. MY CRAZY DAYSE's past two races on the dirt were front-running style wins at Fonner Park. Will be in the hunt from the start.

5: The Checotah Kid (Goodwin, Riecken)123/10-1
6: Knightinmoderation (Joubert, Hanson)119/5-1
DIABLO CABALLERO finished well ahead over four of tonight's opponents last time out for second. Like to see him sit closer to the pace tonight. KNIGHTINMODERATION is lone speed with goal of lulling field to sleep up front at relaxing fractions. Threat to upset the field. BLUE STAR CAT came flying late to get the fourth spot but still couple of lengths behind our top pick.
