* EXACTA: 7-5 BOX, 5-6 BOX, 6-4 BOX
* TRIFECTA: 5/6/7 BOX, 4/5/6 BOX
COMMENTS: NEVER A DOUBT ran the highest last race speed figure in his debut. BEARAMOUR won his debut with ease as the favorite. SALAHUDIN won his debut as the fifty seven cent favorite for trainer Bob Baffert. GRAND YAUPON will look to build on his second race improvement.

SHOW 8-1 4 Floating Beauty E Morales
WILD CARD 7-2 1 Queen Azteca C A Torres

ALTERNATE 2 10-1 6 Union Mist B Curtis

* EXACTA: 2-5 BOX, 5-4 BOX, 4-1 BOX
* TRIFECTA: 2/4/5 BOX, 1/4/5 BOX
COMMENTS: CASH CALL should be at her best in the third up with triple digit speed figure ability. FIVE A SIDE should be involved from start to finish and has a robust late kick at times. FLOATING BEAUTY is super consistent and saves her best for the finishing stretch. QUEEN AZTECA wins on the lead and that is where she should be today.

RACE #6 $250,000 Stakes
7 Furlongs ON THE Dirt - POST TIME: 3:12 PM ET

ALTERNATE 2 15-1 5 Greatest Joy A Beschizza

* EXACTA: 6-2 BOX, 2-8 BOX, 8-1 BOX
* TRIFECTA: 2/6/8 BOX, 1/2/8 BOX
COMMENTS: MANUKA HONEY absolutely smoked the competition in her debut and has excellent works since. VELVET BERETTA won her debut with ease and could offer more with typical second race upside. GLORY RUN is undefeated in two stalking runs. CARDIO CATs resumes says to expect a slightly better run in the second off the sidelines.

RACE #7 $400,000 Stakes
1 Mile ON THE Dirt - POST TIME: 3:42 PM ET
** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $400,000 ELLIS PARK DERBY

* EXACTA: 5-4 BOX, 4-6 BOX, 6-3 BOX
* TRIFECTA: 4/5/6 BOX, 3/4/6 BOX
COMMENTS: PLUTARCH is coming off a grade III win for trainer Bob Baffert. IGNITER ran faster despite going longer in his last. SPUN D M C should be happy to return to dirt after trying grass for the first time and has a pair of bullets prepping. STOP THE CAR drops in class following four graded stakes runs.

RACE #8 $200,000 Stakes

* EXACTA: 9-5 BOX, 5-8 BOX, 8-2 BOX
* TRIFECTA: 5/8/9 BOX, 2/5/8 BOX
COMMENTS: TWIRLING ACES is undefeated in a pair of easy wins. PERCYS BAR has the kind of explosive late pace at times that could make this one look easy if it appears here. A FINE CHARDONNAY should have her best in the third start after a layoff. BETTYS PEARL hit the board in eight of nine on a fast track.

RACE #9 $200,000 Stakes
1 Mile ON THE Dirt - POST TIME: 4:42 PM ET

COMMENTS: BRACKET BUSTER ran three straight triple digit speed figures and the rest of the field has four combined. COAL BATTLE ran in the money in seven of eight on a fast track. HEROIC MOVE could be finally healthy making two starts in a row for the first time in eight months. OWEN ALMIGHTY has a trio of place finishes in three at the distance.
