6: Ears to Me (Williams, Swan)118/12-1
7: Cause I'm Leavin (Juarez Jr., Rarick)118/7-2
HURTS SO BAD was a $120K purchase at Fasig-Tipton last fall. Win early sire and steady works indicate readiness and the Robertson barn wins often with babies. KISSALOT was on the rail in debut and started sluggishly. Adds blinkers today to keep him focused and his sibling won first-out for this barn. CAUSE I'M LEAVIN started slowly in his two starts and wasn't able to recover. Needs to break alertly today.

5: That Would Be Nice (Hernandez, Rengstorf)119/9-2
6: Icywilburnyeh (Mawing, Bedford)119/6-1
STAR OF THE NORTH has done little wrong in her seven-race career with six wins and $239K in earnings. However, breeding suggests she won't like to go too much farther but should be able to control the pace today. THAT WOULD BE NICE has won going two-turns but on the grass. If the top pick falters with the added distance, she could pick up the pieces. MINNESOTA NICE won by 11 lengths in a dirt route to break her maiden but faces tougher here.

5: Big Whiskey (L. Fuentes, Woolley Jr.)119/8-1
6: Biz Kid (Hernandez, Rhone)119/12-1
BREXTON showed some speed on the turf in last going two-turns and now cuts back to 6½ furlongs on the dirt. Drops in class and will be forwardly placed. INCRIMINATION raced evenly from a tough post in his first race back after an 18-month hiatus. Probably needed that start. EL CENTENARIO will be racing for Diodoro for the first time but came from a high percentage barn in California and has yet to win.

6: Danzig Star (Canchari, Litfin)124/5-2
7: Rabbit Twenty Two (Arroyo, Rickert)119/15-1
MAJESTIC ICE drops again in class and is third off the layoff. Only dirt start was a disaster when she totally blew the start. Expect a better showing today. DANZIG STAR has early speed and could shake loose but tends to hit a wall in the stretch. CRAZY GOOD has yet to live up to her purchase price but she may have found her level here on the dirt.

8: Circle Back Girl (Juarez Jr., Flores)118/6-1
9: Ghosted Girl (Mawing, Garrett)118/10-1
OUTWORKTHEOKIEGIRL is bred to be precocious as her sire has produced many two-year-old winners. Biehler is capable with first-time-starters and gets top jock aboard. BECAUSE has only three workouts in preparation but that may be a positive sign that she's ready to go. Jockey Hamilton will get her involved early. HEART ON THE RUN had a sibling win first-out last summer at Canterbury for this barn.

8: Heavenly Gazebo (Mawing, Tranquilino)119/15-1
9: Gabriel's Legend (Juarez Jr., Donlin Jr.)119/10-1
NATURAL CHILL battled for the lead until the top of the stretch before tiring late in last. Moves from the 12-post in his debut to the rail today. Should be prominent early. TOP DOG closed into fast early fractions in last passing top pick late. Will appreciate added distance from a breeding standpoint. MACHO RAPIDO has a lot of experience and could be closing late if the pace is hot.

9: Haddy Up (Eikleberry, Berndt)124/7-2
10: Loyal and True (Lopez, Biehler)119/12-1
WAR FALCON broke her maiden on the dirt but has been racing primarily on the turf since. Returns to the dirt, drops in class and gets leading rider. HADDY UP has incredible early speed and will be on the lead but faces open company for the first time after switching barns. SHEDIALED BURREAUX has only been on a fast/dirt track once and won by six lengths. Will appreciate the footing.

9: Sequins Storm (Conning, Weir)124/15-1
10: Fair Challenge (Lopez, Diodoro)124/7-2
ROLLS ROYCE DEAL improved dramatically in first start for the Broberg barn. Winner of last came back to win again. Could work out a nice trip. FAIR CHALLENGE drops substantially down the claiming ladder and speed figures indicate he's a contender in this field. NICE WORK was claimed by Cappellucci last time out and that's a 31% move for this barn.

8: Steal the Thunder (Wade, Lund)124/5-2
9: Wee Ms. Burnzie (Butler, Padilla)124/5-1
MRS. D'S CONCERTO has not won since 2019 but may get things her own way today. When she's loose on the lead, she can be very brave. STEAL THE THUNDER takes a plunge in class but has been racing in turf routes and today is a dirt sprint so the footing/distance could be a question. ORTS DREAM will be closing late with patient rider Harr if the pace is hot up front.

11: Holly Jess Is Sweet (Williams, Swan)124/12-1
PR LITTLE MISS GUNS was off slowly in career debut and then was pinched and had to alter course. Should improve in second start. THE MINNESOTA MOON returns to the maiden ranks after trying the Futurity in last. Will appreciate the class relief. RUNAMOK just missed last time out but continues to improve for top trainer.
