12: Goldemeister (Goodwin, Scherer)119/10-1
13: American Misfit (Bedford, Donlin, Jr.)118/20-1
KELSEYBELLE cuts her value in half, shipping in from Del Mar for new trainer Robertino Diodoro. Should be involved from the bell. I NEVER GIVE UP has been runner-up past two races, and is a big threat stretching out. STORM SHELTER and CRAZY LADY are must-use and will be doing their better running in later stages.

14: Lookin Ata Runaway (Sanchez, Rengstorf)119/10-1
15: Cause to Wonder (Eikleberry, Silva)119/10-1
SHABOOM stretches out with the plunge in class, and could prove tough at a square price facing softer. NORTH OF EDEN is the one to beat and fits plenty well with this group. Expect to be sitting behind the pace. STELLABRINI and ORDINARY LOVE will be waiting in the wings with their inside draws.

12: It's Mike's Turn (Goncalves, Becker)123/20-1
13: London Legacy (Mojica, Diodoro)123/7-2
VALYRIAN will get ideal stalking trip with Eikleberry aboard, with all the speed to his inside. LONDON LEGACY is most likely the horse to beat, but gets tough far outside draw. Going to have to work hard in the early stages to get the job done. SCHERER MAGIC and CONGRATULATE ME will come out firing and are destined to duel with rivals. Expect blazing fractions for first half-mile.

14: Mommy's Soldier (Goncalves, Merrick)119/15-1
PLAYOFF BOUND went gate to wire last out for the win, and projects as the one to catch again. TOMMY GROSSMAN got up for third best last out, after angling six wide to get there. ARTIE'S RUMOR will keep top pick and stablemate company up front. BEST OF BLEU'S is a must-use for strong connections but is still looking for first win of the year.

14: Under Current (Hernandez, Berndt)119/20-1
15: Warrior's Way (Goncalves, Heitzmann)119/8-1
STELLA MALONE is strictly the one to beat and has plenty of speed in her arsenal to get the win in frontrunning fashion. DERBY DANCE tasted victory two back but is mostly a regular in second or third money. MERRI MESSA can pass horses down the stretch, and it's good to see Butler remaining aboard.

CINCO STAR returns to the main track, where he does his best running. Ran second best to Mr. Jagermeister two back in the Minnesota Derby. Stablemate MOONLITE JOEY finished two spots back to Cinco Star in the race. Good to see he's been freshened up with a few snappy works. SHOOTERS ALLEY stretches out to two turns and will attempt to get brave on the lead.

12: Masterpiece Day (Goncalves, Arnett)120/10-1
RUFF HOUSE will be aggressive out of the gate with top pilot aboard. Runner-up last three out is a concern. SAVAGE WARRIOR had a hiccup last race out of the gate, but clean start tonight could mean new ballgame. JAZZ LOVERMAN moves close to the rail with sneaky speed and is the one to catch to cash your ticket.

14: Piper Pegasus (Loveberry, Gordon)120/20-1
YOU FUNNY MAN could get brave up front and try to lead the field to the winner's circle. SPRING D'ORO has been running against tougher at Prairie Meadows, and owns excellent tactical speed. Post could prove tough to overcome for her first local spin. TRIDENT HERO and VESTED CREEK are major players in what appears to be a wide-open affair.

10: Tactical Girl (Canchari, Rengstorf)119/20-1
FLOWERS FOR TEAGAN will attempt to lead the field to the winner's circle as the one to beat. RACEINROSEMARY switches surfaces in hopes of turning things around. Biggest threat to the favorite if returns to her dirt form. SOARING drops to lowest level of her career, and should put pressure from the get-go on top pick.

MINES MADE UP draws the fence with quick turn of foot and for a tough jockey/trainer duo. Stablemate DOUBLE BARREL MAN could run well with the positive change of hands at the jockey position. HAWKS PEAK could run well off the extended rest period. Has run well in the past off the layoff.

MALIBU MAX stretches out for the John Bullit Stakes. Last route race was a Grade 2 effort at Oaklawn Park, where he has way overmatched, but a good learning experience. PATRIOTS RULE will be rolling late from the cheap seats for the tough Diodoro/Mojica team. BEACH FLOWER will be in the mix from the start and was an impressive winner two back on the main track.

HOT SHOT KID got the win last out off the two-month layoff. Will show early speed against the pine with Goncalves aboard. BOURBON COWBOY will be challenging Hot Shot Kid out of the gate for the lead. Didn't disappoint as the favorite last out, winning by nearly four lengths. COASTLINE and SUPER TOUCH are big threats escorting the pace for first assault.

SOUTHERN STREAM cuts back in distance with ample early speed. Eikleberry takes the ride in hopes of turning things around. GOLDEN THUNDER has hit the brakes running longer last two efforts. Tough to endorse as the morning line favorite, but can't leave off the ticket. BLUE MOON BELLE had career-best finish last out on the big drop in class.
