Lone Star Park puts on a nine-race card Friday night and the main track is anticipated as fast and the turf, firm. Jockeys Iram Diego and Lindey Wade enter the program on the verge of riding milestones. Diego is sitting at 998 Thoroughbred wins in North America, and Wade, 994.

In the opener, Runner Loose (5) is appealing on the move into a conditioned claiming spot after running well against first-level allowance rivals. She also seems like one who can be closer to the pace than last time.
In the second race, Frances Is Smokin (4) might appreciate the fast track tonight after setting the pace over a wet, laboring kind of surface last time out.
There is a great deal of speed in the third race, and while Royal Kate (4) is quick, perhaps her post will give jockey Richard Eramia options. She is situated outside of her three primary pace rivals.
For a spotplay, the 8-1 Preacher Preacher (1) is appealing in the ninth race. He makes a meaningful class move after he was beaten just two lengths for everything last out when facing steeper.
