Best Bet: SUMMER SHARE (6); Best Value: GIOPI (5)1

1 Mile. Claiming $15,000. 3&up. Purse: $19,000. (All races on inner dirt.) Post -- 1 p.m.

1 Hope for Today(L) 114 Valdivia, Jr 3-6-10 Hills 8-1

2 My Tapit(L) 123 Lezcano 1-2-5 Ubillo 12-1

3 Tony's Back(L) 123 Pezua 1-2-3 Hertler 6-1

4 Artie's Chapter(L) 121 Dominguez 7-3-7 Barbara 5-2

5 Mystic Era(L) 114 Maragh 7-1-7 Toscano, Jr 20-1

6 Trackmens Star(L) 121 Alvarado 4-5-1 Contessa 8-5

7 Igoturback(L) 116 Chavez 1-9-6 Galluscio 5-1

My Tapit was clear-cut maiden winner in last and consistently logs field's fastest late pace figures. Tony's Back was two lengths behind top selection on Feb. 12 and tallied dominant maiden victory just nine days ago; very dangerous. Hope For Today gets favorably longer trip and has the benefit of the rail; must consider.

6 Furlongs. Claiming $25,000. 4&up. Purse: $21,000.

1 Eve of Destruction(L) 108 Rodriguez 1-2-4 Rodriguez 5-2

2 Bwana Moja(L) 120 Valdivia, Jr 5-2-3 Volk 9-5

3 Scorch the Torch(L) 120 Alvarado 3-3-2 Barker 4-1

4 Jax Maxx(L) 120 Lopez 2-12-2 Perkins, Jr 5-1

5 Iguazu(L) 123 Cohen 1-3-2 Brown 6-1

6 Reading Group(L) 115 Pedroza 7-4-7 Hernandez 15-1

Jax Maxx made hard charging late rally when second by nose last time and should have more to give in second start since three-month absence. Eve Of Destruction is speedy and rested and looms the dominant front-runner on the fence. Bwana Moja owns fast figures but has been idle since Nov. 14; demand value.

6 Furlongs. Allowance Optional Claiming. 4&up. Purse: $46,000.

1 Ricoriatoa(L) 120 Jara 1-5-2 Galluscio 6-5

2 Keechi Bullet(L) 118 Husbands 3-3-4 Ronen 8-1

3 Saint Daimon(L) 118 Luzzi 5-5-3 Jerkens 10-1

4 Who's the Cowboy(L) 118 Dominguez 3-2-1 Englehart 9-5

5 Devonshire(L) 118 Lopez 5-2-2 Grusmark 5-1

Who's The Cowboy fired eye-catching half-mile bullet since pace and position compromised in last; gets there today. Ricoriatoa wired top selection in last and could prove tough to catch once again. Devonshire met tougher last time but split the top pair on Jan. 26; don't ignore.

6 Furlongs. Claiming $7,500. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $16,000.

1 Buddys Dream(L) 123 Alvarado 5-10-8 Martin, Sr. 15-1

2 Indy's Forum(L) 123 Husbands 5-8-5 Chin 8-1

3 Crafty Gem(L) 123 Lopez 4-3-7 Englehart 3-5

4 Tropical Trip(L) 123 Falk 4-6-2 Falk 10-1

5 Decorated Court(L) 123 Studart 8-7-6 Persaud 15-1

6 My Luckey Penney(L) 116 Rodriguez 5-6-2 Ortiz 15-1

7 Bombilla 123 Mangalee 3-4-4 Pringle 6-1

8 Flying Wildcat(L) 123 Thompson 6-5-6 Maroun 12-1

Indy's Forum makes quick return after logging improved internal figures last Saturday; price play in cheap field. Crafty Gem makes first start since claimed by Chris Englehart; more than good enough on best. My Luckey Penney gets class relief and can contend on 'A' game.

1 Mile. Claiming $7,500. 4&up. Purse: $18,000.

2 Five Aces(L) 119 Studart 2-2-4 Contessa 3-1

3 Merlin Bay(L) 112 Rodriguez 4-4-5 Shivmangal 8-1

1 Ecru Egret(L) 119 Lezcano 7-5-10 Persaud 30-1

4 Show Trial(L) 122 Dominguez 1-1-2 Levine 6-5

1a Next Day(L) 119 Lezcano 8-7-5 Persaud 30-1

5 Full Tilt Noogie(L) 119 Espinoza 6-7-6 Barker 10-1

6 Giopi(L) 120 Castro 7-1-9 Baker 4-1

7 Pegasus Ena(L) 112 Maragh 5-4-2 Brown 10-1

Giopi was victimized by wide trip versus tougher field last time and rates the call based on price potential. Show Trial has won two straight at this level; logical short-priced player. Five Aces failed to last when starting from post nine last Saturday but could prove very tough to catch from rail today.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. Allowance Optional Claiming. 4&up. Purse: $43,000.

1 Raffinator(L) 120 Castro 3-1-5 Ryerson 7-2

2 Summer Share(L) 118 Velasquez 6-7-4 Bush 8-1

3 Jimmy Vegas(L) 118 Dominguez 1-4-2 Rice 2-1

4 Smart Enuf(L) 118 Alvarado 3-2-3 Donk 4-1

5 Goodbyeandgoodluck(L) 118 Lopez 6-4-1 Hertler 15-1

6 Stopbluffing(L) 118 Luzzi 1-1-3 Brown 8-1

7 Run Warrior Run(L) 118 Santiago 7-4-1 Conway, Jr 20-1

8 Moon Raven(L) 118 Alvarado 5-1-4 Conway, Jr 10-1

9 Thunder Chief(L) 113 Rodriguez 1-2-5 Gyarmati 10-1

Summer Share has been on the bench since April, but concluded work tab with 5-furlong bullet and logged both lifetime wins on inner strip; primed and ready. Smart Enuf displayed a newfound stretch kick when a willing third in last; dangerous. Jimmy Vegas shows a sparse work slate since dominant victory on Jan. 8; less than 100 percent?

6 Furlongs. Claiming $25,000. 4&up. Purse: $24,000.

2 Make Note(L) 118 Studart 4-6-5 Chatterpaul 10-1

1 Callide Valley(L) 118 Castro 2-4-2 Schwartz 5-2

1a Le Bonne Vie(L) 111 Rodriguez 1-2-3 Schwartz 5-2

3 Prix de Karakorum(L) 120 Alvarado 5-1-2 Odintz 15-1

4 Stormin Bolt(L) 118 Cohen 2-8-2 McLaughlin 3-1

5 In Just We Trust(L) 118 Lopez 2-4-2 Englehart 6-1

6 Al's Deputy(L) 118 Luzzi 9-7-7 Schosberg 30-1

7 Zio Tony(L) 118 Jara 1-7-1 Jacobson 15-1

8 Red Elephant(L) 118 Valdivia, Jr 4-2-10 Breen 7-2

9 New Adventure(L) 118 Dominguez 3-5-7 Imperio 8-1

In Just We Trust has been notching solid final fractions at 7 furlongs and should pack intensified wallop with cutback to shorter sprint. Red Elephant turns back to distance of both career wins and fired 3-furlong bullet this past Saturday; dangerous. Callide Valley owns very fast figures but has been on the shelf since Oct. 16; must take the good with the bad.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. The PROUD PUPPY. 3yo. Fillies. Purse: $60,000.

1 Queen's Harbor(L) 122 Valdivia, Jr 5-1-6 Violette, Jr 6-1

2 Ava K.(L) 120 Dominguez 1-1-x Hushion 6-5

3 Hot Danger(L) 118 Castro 3-1-5 Contessa 15-1

4 All Quiet(L) 118 Velasquez 3-3-1 Schosberg 12-1

5 Midnight Visit(L) 120 Cohen 1-1-x Pletcher 7-5

6 Summer Flick(L) 118 Chavez 1-4-4 Kelly 20-1

Summer Flick was unfazed by wide trip and slow pace when breaking maiden in last and still-developing 3-year-old filly could make another forward move at fat odds. Midnight Visit is 2-for-2 and bested top selection by more than four lengths last year; very dangerous. Ava K. is another that's 2-for-2 and lures Dominguez away from top selection; be no surprise.

1 Mile. Maiden Claiming $16,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $20,000.

1 Vex(L) 109 Rodriguez 4-9-4 Rodriguez 3-1

2 Beautiful Pico(L) 116 Davis 4-10-7 Sedlacek 50-1

3 Real Glory(L1) 116 Velasquez x-x-x Rice 5-1

4 Scout Exchange(L) 116 Lopez 3-6-3 Rossi 5-1

5 Southern Sunsation(L) 116 Castro 7-5-6 Zito 15-1

6 His Precious Lady(L) 123 Chavez 4-3-7 DeMola 15-1

7 Running in Circles(L) 116 Hill 7-6-5 Martin 15-1

8 Now Now Girl(L) 116 Cohen 2-6-5 Levine 2-1

9 My Wild Irish Rose(L) 109 Rivera 7-x-x Donato 30-1

10 Mama Dukes(L) 123 Santiago 2-4-2 Tannuzzo 8-1

11 Western Thriller(L) 116 Davis 2-4-7 Contessa 6-1

Vex drops and draws the fence after failing to deliver on heavy tote support in last; recoups losses. Now Now Girl was a very game second behind a repeat winner in last; could easily take this. Running In Circles is fresh and adds blinkers for hot barn; wakeup potential. Scout Exchange was three lengths behind Now Now Girl last time but could easily close the gap in third start of form cycle.
