GIRLSWANNAHAVEFUN got the win last out at a healthy price with a late surge. SOARING NOW had a valid excuse last out after a rough start and trip. IRISH MUSIC will be on the lead with the inside draw, and should be the one to catch in her first turf effort.

11: Cause to Wonder (Hamilton, Silva)122/12-1
12: Showreel (Hernandez, Westermann)120/8-1
FIRST HUNTER drops for over half the price, and for strong trainer/jockey team. HONOR'S PARADE ran career best speed speed figure last out, but missed the top prize by a head. MEMORIES GALORE has sneaky speed for the Diodoro barn, and is a must use for strong connections. STAR HUNTER got the win last out in gate-to-wire fashion.

6: Dialed (Thompson, Rarick)120/8-1
7: Kilarney Blarney (Swiontek, McFadden)124/12-1
MASTER GUNS is a first time starter for the Robertson barn, and supports a strong series of works. MAGIC GUS supports a few quick works out of state, but could prove tough if ready to fire. HONOR STRIKE has more bullets than Bonnie and Clyde's car with his morning works.

7: Tahkodha Star (Hernandez, Rengstorf)124/15-1
8: Skat Happens (Mawing, Rengstorf)119/9-2
MINNY O'PRADO value is cut in half after running for the silver medal on a sloppy track last out.. SKAT HAPPENS ran behind top choice last out, but could pass horses with the stretch out. BELLWOOD FOREVER will be the late closing threat with Loveberry aboard. LIL' RED DEVIL steps up in price after winning by over 14 lengths last out.

7: Congratulate Me (Stevens, Davis)124/5-2
FLYING MR K. drives up from Iowa for the Diodoro stable, with solid speed numbers. . PRIVATE PARTY ran career best speed figure last out at a mile, and comes in sprinting with confidence. SHOOTERS ALLEY most likely will get in a early pace dispute, but got the win last out after a hard-fought duel.

6: King George (Canchari, Bastin)124/12-1
7: Vested Creek (Butler, Litfin)124/4-1
ARCHARCHMONARCH has turned into a winning machine after a long dry spell. VESTED CREEK Six races this summer, might have made the legs tired, so possible favorite gets the second spot for me. FLOKI will be challenging for the lead, and going Duran vs Leonard up front with Vested Creek.

7: Phantom Threeonine (H'nandez, W'termann)120/9-2
DROP OF GOLDEN has plenty of room for improvement, after scoring the minor awards in his two lone starts. BRONK puts the hood on for first time, which is a strong angle for the trainer. PHANTOM THREEONINE Major player in this wide-open race.
