Nocturnal Submission: The third at Canterbury (9:01 p.m. EDT / 6:01 p.m. PDT) is contentious on the turf, and #9 Sam’s Grindstone has an upset chance. …Also in the third at Evangeline (7:34 / 4:34), also on the turf, also contentious, also a 6-1 morning-line shot: #5 Litefootsue; for added pari-mutuel spice, try #9 Alligator Bootsie. …Fairmount Park’s eighth (11:42 / 8:42) has a pair of enticers at 12-1 morning-line: #7 Winds Due East and #8 Ole Gray. …At Lincoln, the eighth (10:47 / 7:47), #1 Kipling Style is not that big an “if” (get it?), but #10 Sounds Good also deserves a listen. …

That’s quite a bit of action under the lights. Best wishes!
