Preview of Thursday night card that opens final week of meet at Lone Star Park

Lone Star Park near Dallas moves into the final week of its Thoroughbred meet on Thursday night, with an eight-race program that starts at 6:35 p.m. Central. There is an $87,848 carryover in the Fortune 6. The main track is anticipated as fast and the turf, firm. It is currently 100 degrees, according to The Weather Channel.

In the title races, jockey Richard Eramia leads Iram Diego 65-60 heading into Thursday night's card. Steve Asmussen leads both the owner standings, 30-26 over Keene Thoroughbreds, and the trainer standings, 75-51 over Karl Broberg.

Below is a look at a few of the races: 

In the opener, U R My Last Chance (2) moves back to a mile and an eighth, where he ran well, and the straight claiming ranks, site of his last win. Eramia is aboard for Asmussen. 

Big Commission (1) returns to the claiming ranks after a pair of respectable races against first-level allowance foes and the last time he ran for a tag he romped by 10 lengths. Eramia is named to ride Big Commission, as well as the horse he is coupled with, Henderson Country (1A), for Asmussen. 

Reflector (5) gets the nod in the third race, as he is moving back into the statebred ranks for the first time since the Premiere Stakes, when he ran third to five-time stakes winner Supermason. Eddie Martin, Jr., has the mount for Broberg. 

Tough call in the fourth between Senora Acero (7) and Christina's Comet (4) with the former getting the endge for her experience at two turns on turf. Christina's Comet is making her first start under such conditions, but like that she ran well last out in her first start on the grass. It came over five eighths of a mile and she closed well. 

King Ptolemy (2) shakes Ibaka in the seventh race, an optional $40,000 claimer over a mile on turf. He was second to that rival, a seven-time stakes winner, at a similar level last out at Lone Star. King Ptolemy did well to close as Ibaka controlled the pace, and it appears King Ptolemy could get a better set up this time around. Eramia has the mount for Asmussen.
