9 Chasing Bubbles(L) 120 Rosario 1-7-6 McPeek 5-1

1 Loose Money(L) 118 Ortiz 6-8-x Lewis 10-1

8 Risky Sour(L) 118 Jimenez 7-7-7 Kelly 10-1

9 El Viejo Verde(L) 118 Carmouche 2-2-3 Cannizzo 8-5

Spark to Ignite is fleet-footed, rested and fired half-mile bullet on June 11. O'Bear makes third start of form cycle; price will be tempting. El Viejo Verde owns speed but lacks heart; must take the good with the bad. River Knight was a game second in last; right in the thick of this.
