3:37 SAR 6th O SHEA CAN U SEE (#4, 6-1) rallied to win his first two starts of 2020 and has landed in three straight pace dominated races since; needs the right set up while facing a strong field for the level but he is in form for a hot trainer. -Mike Beer

3:39 LS 3rd SPORTY FLYER (#2, 7-2) finished in front of some of these last out when second and earlier in his career lined up against steeper. He could could get a decent pace setup. -Mary Rampellini

4:12 SAR 7th GAELIC GOLD #6, 5-1) debuted early in the year at Tampa and did not have an easy trip in that race while facing a solid field of maidens; well-bred filly is out of Grade 3 turf winner Strike It Rich and is a half to Saratoga maiden winner Kerry's Ring, both of whom also raced for Clement. -Mike Beer

5:17 SAR 9th Distance seems likely to play a major role in the outcome of this entry-level allowance for NY-bred fillies and SINGULAR SENSATION (#8, 3-1) has run the best race in the field over course and distance; didn't get to run again after just missing with an 83 Beyer in that effort but she got in a start off the layoff last month, where she gamely prevailed for 2nd behind a runaway winner. -Mike Beer

5:48 SAR 10th FLATTERING EYES (#1, 8-1) has been competitive with maiden claimers and is dropping back down in class following three starts vs. better early in the year; contends here with her good race as she drops back down and will likely be a price. -Mike Beer

5:55 LAD 5th TAPIT'S TEMPLE (#3, 6-1) is by a 8% debut turf sire. His dam was un-raced. Two sibs never tried the green. We like that connections wanted the turf in his debut but it got washed off. Turf breeding is solid and this gelding draws fine. This barn is 23% with their second time starters. -Scott Ehlers

6:40 CBY 3rd KRIS ME DEADLY (#5, 6-1) switched barns from Diodoro to Guillory and improved...a lot. There is something we don't write everyday. Some horses just need a change of scenery. Pop and stop in last but some horses just don't like Prairie Meadows. This horse has run well on the stretch-out before and it came here. We think he is the speed of the speed and if so then an early breather is his reward. -Scott Ehlers

6:46 LS 9th CARLOS SIXES (#1, 7-2) is seeking his fifth win on the year. He put up his best career Beyer Speed Figure at this mile trip two starts back at Lone Star. -Mary Rampellini

6:49 LAD 7th SILVER SIREN (#7, 10-1) tried the grass for the first time last out and beat three home. She did so off a layoff. We expect a more fit horse today and we love the fact that connections want the grass right back. Another good sign is that Dominguez stays put. -Scott Ehlers

7:40 CBY 5th SHE B GLAMOROUS (#1, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers).

8:10 CBY 6th DON'S FINAL FINAL (#4, 8-1) has only run poorly once and that came three back when first on this dirt and off a layoff. Main pace foes are drawn inside so maybe, just maybe, Quinonez lets those go early and shoots for a stalking trip. -Scott Ehlers
