MARY LOIS showed talent in first two starts, both turf routes so she's proven. She hasn't run in a couple months but that's not a big issue with this barn and while it's a longer trip she's bred for it and the way she's run on in her first two starts says she'll handle it. She's kin to Mister Mister (16-1-0-1, $16K, all on turf in Europe and Saudi Arabia, 1 SP). CONSENSUS VIEW hails from the barn as the top pick, has worked well and is bred to run all day long, though debuting going this far is no small task. STAND THE RAIN showed talent in her only turf start, that on this course last fall. She was then gone a while, came back with an OK run in slop here May 25 and returns to turf, which has to help. Her lone sib is Baby Sassicaia (19-3-4-1, $121K, no turf starts). CHARTIST showed turf talent at DEL recently so she could be a factor. Her daddy won the 12F G1 Belmont so she's bred to go this far. Two of her three sibs (all fulls) are winners including Analyst (13-2-1-3, $32K, 1-0-1-0 on turf).

BLENHEIM BABY looked super blasting rivals here March 19 at this trip. She wasn't quite as good when 3rd here April 4 but has been freshened and is reunited with Prat, who was up for that smashing March 19 win. LADY WISDOM won a race just like this here May 8 in smart fashion so the circumstances suit. Tougher and slop proved too much for last time but this is a much better situation. THAT'STHEFACTJACK has seemingly turned the corner with two straight wins here. Nobody will call you 'psycho' for siding with her or tell you to 'lighten up'.

FIND YOUR PATH didn't run badly in her first turf try, a sprint at this level on the inner here May 3. It's nice to see no drop and with that turf experience behind him he might enjoy this longer trip. Five of her six sibs to race are winners including Honey Money (38-9-6-7, $515K,1-0-0-0 on turf, 1 SW) and turf winner Identity Crisis. NO NEED TO PANIC hasn't been much of a factor in four starts but all four came vs. tougher straight maidens so the drop might prove key. All five sibs to race are winners, 3 of them turf winners including Not Phar Now (24-6-3-4, $271K, 15-4-2-2 on turf) and Icy Flavor (15-3-4-1, $160K, 7-3-1-1 on turf), also kin to Out of Orbit (24-4-5-6, $319K, 2-0-0-0 on turf, 1 SW, 1 SP). MIA SOPHIA was a decent 3rd on SAR turf vs. tougher last summer. She was then not seen for 10 months and came back dull here June 11 but there's not another layoff and no further drop so maybe she can get back on track. Two of her three sibs are winners including Always Charming (21-3-1-1, $122K) but those two are 2-0-0-0 and 1-0-0-0 on turf, respectively.

LES REYS was far from disgraced when 5th in a tough LRL stakes May 15. That run looks even better when you note the three to have exited that race so far ALL won next time out. That was also her first start in four months so she figures fitter and tougher. READY TO JAM was away slowly and no factor in a very tough G2 at SAR June 4 but not only did the start do her in it was her first outing in a long time. With that under her belt and the drop she can surely do better. LESLIE'S HUMOR ended 2025 on a high note winning her last two, both turf sprints on this course. She hasn't run since so there's a bit of a layoff but that's not usually a bit concern with this barn and if primed for this step up in class could prove dangerous.

FLIGHT COMMAND is from the first crop of the great Flightline and there are loads of expectations for his progeny (first two runners ran 2nd at CD and won in Japan). He cost a pretty penny and has worked well for this first run. DETER brings plenty of works into this first run including a few brisk ones for a trainer who's more than capable first time out. It's also nice Prat sees fit to ride. One of his two sibs to race is winner Ethics (9-1-0-2, $43K, 1 SW, 1 SP). PERFECT DREAM brings some brisk drills into this first run for a trainer who has super debut-win numbers.

SECURED LANDING was away slowly and very wide in a tough sprint at SAR June 7 so you can forgive that run. He's back in for a tag and returns to a track and distance he loves. NEON BORDEAUX comes off two good races at LRL after a couple months off so he's doing well and returns to the site of his best work. TREATY OBLIGATION found turf and tougher too much to handle a couple months ago. He's been freshened, is back to dirt and down in class and that combo resulted in a game win here Jan. 22.

DESPO'S DREAM looks back in peak form for Trainer Rudy. He claimed her off a game win here May 7 and got a sharp 2nd as a return at this level here June 11. Her speed can have her in it from the start. JACKSON'S DIXIE has speed to be prominent from the start and and it's no small matter Prat takes the wheel. MURSAL has held good form since last fall. She likes it here and those last two show her a solid fit at this level.

LUPINE was no factor in a SAR turf sprint June 3 but not only was that her first try vs. winners she had a lousy start and more trouble down the backstretch. She drops and returns to the outer course on which she earned her diploma May 3. HEADS IN BEDS is a scary new face as she showed speed and ability out West. This is her first start in a long time for a new barn but she fired off a layoff last summer and has worked smartly for new trainer Joseph Jr. ROCKYTA returns to turf which might help after trying synthetic at GP a few weeks ago.

CEDERBERG was no factor in his ELP debut on turf last summer but not only can you always forgive a first run there's a layoff since which works well for this barn and a class drop. Yes, it's a tad disconcerting they paid $250K for him and are willing to part with him for just $75K but this may simply be where he belongs. It's first time turf but he's bred for it. REBALANCING gives Brown a second bullet along with the top pick. The gelding debut with lots of works and daddy is proving a smart turf sire, even if he never ran on the stuff. CHESTER BOY wasn't disgraced in first two starts, both turf routes and today's drop might prove key. EXECUTIVE has likewise been facing tougher and he's shown turf talent and might well appreciate the drop.

SHIPSATIONAL has been knocking on the door of late vs. cheaper and the price hike speaks of optimism. He has tactical speed and versatility, though it's a bit worrisome he's 0 for 24 here. At least six 2nds show he can handle this place. EXPENSIVE CUT just missed vs. $10K foes here June 13. Kantarmaci not only saw fit to claim him he brings him back more than doubled in value, which encourages. QUIET WISDOM comes off a string of decent efforts all vs. tougher so today's drop might prove key for likely his last crack at a track he likes.

GOLDEN SYMPHONY looked good whipping $25K foes here June 12. and it's most encouraging off such a win he comes back in a spot where they can't lose him to another claim. His best works (all four wins) has come here, too. FARM TEAM ran on well for 2nd behind the top pick and with some better racing luck can cut into, negate or overcome that gap, particularly as Prat stays. FEVER NIGHT gives Rice two cracks at this along with the top pick. The 4yo gelding came back from a layoff to gamely win here April 30 so he's doing well and while they risked him for a tag April 30 they take no such risk here. His speed and the rail can have him in it from the start.

SPEIGHTFUL STORM has spent all his time facing tougher straight maidens and has shown talent. Today's drop in for a tag, the biggest drop in the game, might be just what the Dr. ordered and he's worked fast since his last. Six of his seven sibs are winners including Speightful Kitten (25-3-4-3, $220K) and Make Mischief (21-7-4-4, $753K, 3 SWs, 8 SPs including 1 G1, 3 G2s, 1 G3). RICHIES LOVE has been knocking on the door and might be ready to break through. He has tactical speed to get a nice stalking trip. CHRIS'S SONG didn't do much in first three starts but all came vs. straight maidens and all when fresh. He dropped to this level for the first time here April 26, with blinkers and Lasix, and perked up so could be he's found his proper level and i getting things figured out. All three sibs to race are winners including Foxy Cara (43-3-6-10, $332K) and Playtone (1 SP).

IRON SIGHT ran on decently for 5th when last seen at SAR last summer. Yes, that's a long layoff but with this barn that's not a big concern. He's been working regularly and Prat stays, and remember he cost a pretty penny so there were once expectations. His lone sib si Mischief Mania (8-2-1-2, $69K). GOLD SOVEREIGN gives Brown two big looks at this along with the top pick. He has more experience than his stablemate and comes off two good 2nds vs. this caliber after a layoff. One of his two sibs is winner Golden Note (17-2-2-2, $25K). BRITISH INVASION showed talent in his first two starts last summer. He hasn't been seen since but has worked steadily for a barn strong off the bench. He's kin to winners Camphor (18-1-2-3, $49K, in Europe, 3 SPs including 1 G2) and a full to Max Vega (49-6-4-3, $334K, on turf overseas, 4 G3 SWs, 5 SPs including 4 G3s). DUTY gives Clement a couple big looks at this along with BRITISH INVASION as he comes here fresh after a big turf 2nd on TAM turf Jan.2. He's kin to six winners including Hello Don Julio (22-6-5-1, $460K, 21-6-5-1 on turf, 2 SWS on turf, 2 SPs on turf including 1 G2).

INSPEIGHTOFCHARLIE comes off a super 2nd in a race like this on the main course here May 10 and not only was that his first try vs. winners, it was his first start in three months so he's surely eligible to improve. Oh, that May 10 heat has been highly flattered, too (produced four next-out winners). WILLPOWERED has fired in all three turf starts and the last two came in spots like this. There's no layoff to worry about and with just four races under his belt he's certainly eligible to improve further. ENGLISH CASTLE was ambulanced off when last seen here last November but he's worked steadily for this return for a barn having a big meet and does NOT return with a tag attached. His speed, if in tact after the layoff, can have him forward from the start.

MATH TUTOR may well have turned the corner. After some not-so-hot work from last summer into this winter he perked in mud here Feb. 21 and then vaulted forward for a smashing win here April 10.He's been freshened since such a big run and if that's the true bill he's dangerous, though that's no small 'if', is it? MANHATTAN CHROME came into his own here in March with a nice maiden win and then a smart win over $30K N2L foes. He hasn't been seen since, which is a bit alarming, but returns for the same price for a trainer who's having a big meet and who has super numbers off a layoff like this. TYPHOON FURY hasn't won in a long time but the bulk of his work has come vs. tougher. A slow start didn't help last time as he's got tactical speed when on his game.

CARC BROTHERS looked super in his only two starts, romping in both. It's a tad worrisome he as offered for a tag in each but that isn't the case here. He has speed to be in it from the start and keeps the hot-riding Franco. HARD CIRCLE looked super blasting lesser on the inner here June 14. He has tactical speed and versatility and note his maiden win May 1 came on this main turf course. WAR OFFICER finished with good energy for 4th in a tough claimer at CD May 10. That was his first start in 2 1/2 months, too, so he can improve. A couple nice works since encourage, too.

TEUTONIC perked up in start No. 2 when moved to turf. He drops further and that plus the turf route experience might be just what the Dr. ordered. WAR ANTHEM was no factor in his turf sprint debut here May 16 but you can always forgive a first run. Nevin has solid 2nd-time-out numbers, there's a drop, an addition of blinkers, addition of Lasix and move to more ground so he can surely improve. TAIL RISK improved in start No. 2 here June 11 when moved to turf and dropped in for tag. It was also his first try with Lasix and first with blinkers. That was his first start in seven months so having that run under his belt with the drop could easily add up to a move forward. He's kin to five winners, three of them turf winners including Mississippi Delta (21-7-3-1, $731K, 18-5-3-1 on turf, 3 SWs on turf including 1 G3, 4 SPs, all on turf including 3 G2s, 1 G3).

BEST IMPRESSION fizzled vs. tougher here April 9 but off the claim has been freshened and drops. This barn is solid off a claim and her big win here March 20 came at this level. PROBLEMATICA has been knocking on the door for some time and off the freshening might be ready to break through. OPEN SOUL AUTISM finished behind the top two in a few outings here this winter/spring but a return to top form makes her a threat.

TWO BY TWO BY TWO was not disgraced at all vs. tougher in her first turf try here last summer. She hasn't run since but that kind of layoff is less of a concern with this barn and the drop helps, too. Her lone sib is a winner. SPINNING CLASS has had her share of chances but the good news is she's improved of late since moving in for a tag so could be she's found her proper level for Shug. Her lone sib to race is a winner. MAPPY handled turf and this caliber decently in Florida last fall and winter. She's been given time since by a trainer who's solid off a freshening. Her lone sib to race is a 2-time winner.

CALLING CARD comes off a couple 2nds vs. more expensive and today's price drop might be just what the Dr. ordered. His best work has come here at this trip. DUCKY MEDWICK came out firing to win his debut here 14 months ago. Things haven't gone so well since but that all came vs. tougher so maybe today's drop can lead to him barreling one up. THE OBLITERATOR was a bit dull as the chalk here May 17 when 5th behind the top pick but Morley saw fit to claim him, has been strong off the claim and drops him. His best work has come here and at this trip.

DOT'S DOLLAR found $25K foes too much to handle here June 12 but drops to a much better level. He's been a pro for a long time and done much of his best work here (seven of his 10 wins). GRAYWING did some good work in the spring but was very dull in his last two. In his defense, those came vs. tougher so maybe today's drop can get him back on track...maybe. HE'S GOT THIS wasn't far behind the top two when 4th for $16K here May8. He then found routing and tougher too much to handle but the drop and return to one turn might rejuvenate him.

Should this come off MTO TOGA D'ORO figures tough as the gelding comes off a sharp 2nd going 7fs at this level here June 14. He cuts back a furlong in distance but that shouldn't be a bother. It's encouraging they try to get one more local race out of him before the curtain comes down on this track. If this stays on AFTER TAXES might be the one to beat. He hasn't run since last summer but this barn is super off the bench and the drop doesn't hurt. He darn near won on this course off a layoff last fall. ARCHIMEDES didn't fare so well in his last pair in Kentucky but those came vs. tougher off a layoff. With the drop the numbers add up better for him.

KAREY, an MTO, gets the call should this come off as she exits a decent run in slop here May 24 vs. similar so she handles the track, trip and level. BRILLANTE rates the nod if this stays on. She was a dramatic winner of her U.S. debut at TAM in Jan. 2024 but then dull in a G3 there in March 2024. She hasn't been seen since but such a layoff isn't as big a concern with this barn and that big U.S. debut win came off a layoff. She also gets some serious class relief. STARLIGHT DANCER got her diploma on this inner course at this type of trip a year ago so she handles this place. She likely needed her last start here April 18 after a long layoff.

SULLY chassed and fizzled vs. $20K N2L foes at KEE April 8 but Rice saw fit to claim him, has given him ample time to regroup and encouragingly brings him back up in price. Rice has had considerable success the last few years claiming horses in Kentucky then bringing them back in NY. BOLD LOVE posted ;two good efforts here in the spring before being overmatched at SAR a few weeks ago. She's back to a better level and has done her best work here. MO SPICE found turf and tougher too much to handle here May 23 but moves back to dirt and drops and maybe that combo can get him back on track.

WARALO closed out 2025 in raging form when moved to turf and after the winter off came back just as good, posting a game SW over similar on this course at this trip May 2. If anything he might actually improve, too. SACROSANCT comes here sharp and while this is his first start on turf he's bred to relish it being by a crack turf sire. He has speed to be forward but is no need-the-lead type. RUN CURTIS RUN packs a late punch when in the mood and things break his way. He rallied for 3rdin this last year and looks just as good now. BOLD JOURNEY was a good 2nd in this last year. He was a respectable 7th not beaten far at all in a G1 at SAR a couple weeks ago so there's ample gas in the tank at age 7.

AEOLIAN blossomed in Kentucky last fall, topped off by a big win at CD. She hasn't been seen since but that's not that big a concern with this barn. Still, it IS a long layoff and it's first time vs. winners so there are hurdles. Two of her three sibs are winners including full-bro Tapit Trice (13-6-0-3, $1.8 million, 4 SWs including 1 G1, 1 G2, 2 G3s, 2 G1 SPs). ABSOLUTE HONOR hinted at ability last year and put it all together at GP Feb. 5 for a big maiden win. She hasn't run since but that win came off a layoff. She's kin to two winners including Sweet Solare (9-2-0-2, $135K, 1 SP). SHE'S GRAND is much more proven than the top two having beaten winners six times already and has done some good work here. She comes here in peak form, though Beyerwise she needs a boost if the top two reproduce what they did when graduating. COQUITO is another veteran who comes here off a long run of good form including four wins in her last six starts, all coming here. Nice race.

PLAYING TRICKS was smart beating N1X foes here March 21 off a layoff but didn't repeat that effort at this level here April 25. In his defense, maybe mud was the culprit. He's been freshened and it's nice to see no drop. MAKES SENSE had to be vanned off last time at CD but some fast works since indicate all is well. He's won here before. ELIMINATE won nicely at this trip here May 3 and then posted a near-career-top Beyer here June 13 though that was only good enough for 3rd. Rice saw fit to claim him for $50K and is not only strong off the claim it's encouraging she brings him back where she can't lose him to another claim. There were once some expectations here (cost $525K).

SUPER DAVE came back from a long layoff with a sharp 2nd in a race just like this here May 9. A repeat of that or any kind move forward likely gets the job done. TAKEITEASY CHARLIE has lots of works including some brisk ones for a barn capable first time out and he's by a crack turf sire. Five of his six sibs are winners including Foolish Ghost (56-13-9-6, $629K,.1 SW, 1 SP) and turf winner Second Chance. SON OF A PHAROAH is another firster with plenty of works including some brisk ones for a trainer who can fire first time out. One of his three sibs is winner Quicker (21-4-2-2, $49K).

MY MOM FOREVER did little in his debut but did get some play when sent off at 6-1. Team Alter are 2 for 5 with their 2nd time maidens. This is dam's first foal so no help there. This colt draws more outside today and drops a notch and that rounds out the appeal. AWEGOD has run well going seven panels and a flat mile so he likes this distance. He has some speed, draws well, and picks up Herrera all while second out for new barn. We do spy some other speed but this guy draws outside all of it. BETTER THEN LOTTO is by a 11% debut sire. His dam went 3-0-0-0. Of 10 sibs to race, 6 won and 3 beat winners. Full brother Wine Not is 25-3-7-4 and earned 281K (224K when routing). Maybe this 4YO will like this distance in his debut.

NEVER A DOUBT is by a 12% debut sire (all sire stats are for 2YO's only). His dam went 14-0-3-0 and earned 13K. Of 7 sibs to race, 6 won with 5 having beat winners. The best earned 299K. We spy three sibs that won their 2YO debut. Works are solid. KING COUSIN B is by a 14% debut sire. His dam went 8-2-1-0 and earned 66K. Of 8 sibs to race, 4 won with 3 having beat winners (66K, 259K, and 111K). This colt sold for 65K even though his stud fee was only $8,500. VERMONT is by a 24% debut sire. His dam was un-raced. One of two sibs won and is a multiple winner of 76K. Team Casse are 15% with their debut maidens so that and a win early sire can only help. RENEGADE JO is by a 16% debut sire. His dam was un-raced and this is her first foal. READY TO RAGE is by a 5% debut sire. His dam went 25-2-2-0 and earned 26K. Of 5 sibs to race, 4 won with all 4 having beat winners (672K, 45K, 151K, and 23K). BOYHOOD DREAM is by a 14% debut sire. His dam went 19-1-4-4 and earned 35K. This is her first foal.

BRICK CITY ran great in his debut even though he was reluctant to load and broke last. This guy then stepped up in class to break his maiden so all good so far. Was a flat mile a tad far two back? Another poor break hurt in his most recent. This 4YO gets in light today and puts the blinkers ON all with a pair of recent works in tow. STEP SLOW did run well two and three back. Class drop is hard to miss. Herrera keeps the faith and is 29% for team Abreu. BIG TIMER caught off tracks in his last two starts yet ran OK in both. Tactical speed might help the trip along with half furlong cut back.

ENCHANTING TALE blew the start in his debut but did manage to beat a few home. Class drop makes sense for a horse that only cost 22K. This is dam's first foal so no help there. We like that connections want a route of ground so early in this guy's career. COACH KAIN has tried nothing but routing in his career. Second off the layoff and second time at this level might prove the tipping point. Jock switch is noted. APACHE ONE SIX tired late in his return while not getting much play. Jock switch to Morelos hints at better with 19% jockey/trainer combo. Voided claim from two back is now water under the bridge. Those turf tries before the layoff are solid and perhaps this colt will like the synth something he tries for the second time. BLAME IT ON LINDA exits a key race where 2 of 6 returned to win with figs of 51 and 64.

MO LIGHT NOW won nicely in her 2YO debut at Canterbury but then went on an extended vacation. This filly could have returned there to face easier yet ends up here. She tried tougher in her return and even got some play while running evenly. Class drop and upside go hand in hand and we like that Morelos keeps the call. This barn is 20% second off this type of layoff and we are betting the price will entice today. BALL UP TOP gets some pace to chase and likes the synth. Her only poor start came in her debut going turns on the turf and that is easy to dismiss. Team Sweezey are 18% with their horses that won their last race. UNCAPTURED DOVE returns off the layoff with well spaced works in tow. This barn is 17% off a long layoff. This mare can pass runners so a good trip is more likely than not. Can she fire fresh though? HIDDEN AGENDA exits a key race where 2 of 2 returned to win with figs of 90 and 80.

HAPPY RIDE likes the front end and finds a great spot to clear off again. This mare obviously loves this surface right now. Added half furlong actually helps front end plans. Musical jockeys continues but that just doesn't bother this horse. JOKES UP just chased our top pick around the track and will probably be an even better price today. Is 5 1/2 furlongs her best distance? Well, she has hit the exacta going this far in six of eight starts. HEIR TO THE ROAR exits a key race where 3 of 5 returned to win with figs of 80, 72, and 75 (another finished 2nd with a 69 Beyer). This mare just missed when last seen returning off a layoff. Race flow is OK for this hard trier and she hails from a top barn.

GOLDENTOWN just got a nice confidence boost. He draws the rail again as he cuts back a half furlong. There is little speed in this race so this guy won't be that far off whomever finds the front end. With a good break, we wouldn't be shocked if this guy wanted to be up close and personal early. Camacho gets a leg up and is 4 for 4 with team Jones. PURE CLASS is feeling great. He likes to win and he likes to win on this surface. He cuts back a full furlong and is 6-1-2-0 going this far. WISTUCKY tried tougher last out and held his own. Yet to win going this far is a small knock. Here is another that might want the front end.

WIN N JUICE just ran a Beyer top and did so by 14 points. Trainer stats are rock solid and this horse just worked a bullet. There is good speed in this race and that means a top trip for this colt. LOSMASTIX has figs going in the right direction. We like how he puts races together and draws outside. He wants to pass runners and gets good race flow. ITZA LOCK escapes stakes foes and puts three races together. This guy has done all of his winning on this synth. A pair of recent works is just right.

NOAHS PRIDE has speed and draws outside for a good trip. Class dip could prove the tipping point. An early breather would be better. WAR WARRIOR does have some back class. Better than that is the fact that he puts races together for the first time since March of last year. Class dip helps but race flow isn't the quickest. MAJESTIC NOIR actually got play last out even though trying tougher. That recent work was sharp and now this colt gets easier all with some upside.

ANAMNESTIC goes for a new barn that is an incredible 44% off the claim. Connections find a great spot and of course we like Herrera up. Race flow isn't that fast but it isn't pace-less either. Beaten favorite angle applies if you like that. THE HONEYMAN just ran better and does like this surface. This gelding can put good races together. This gelding only gets an average pace to chase but wasn't that the case last out? Here comes a good price, right? K. C. CHIEF has speed and puts three races together. His best efforts have come on the front end and this looks to be a good spot for that. Class dip is noted.

MINDFUL GRACE was a step slow in her debut which didn't help and then only beat a few home. It...was...her...debut so cut her some slack. Then she tried two turns on the turf which is even tougher than her debut and this time she beat zero home. Things just aren't working out hence the barn switch to Joseph who finds this filly a much better spot. Works are plentiful and Husbands gets a leg up. VICTORIOUS SECRET was only 3 1/2 lengths back with a furlong to go in her second start and that was her first start on the grass and going two turns. We don't care all that much how much she tired late. Now she gets back to sprinting all while dropping a notch. STILL SURPRISING did nothing in her debut except get valuable race experience. We like that debut rider keeps the call all for a barn that is 10% with their 2nd time maidens.

SKY OVER KINGSTON won her debut as the chalk and did so as a 4YO. We dig these older horses that get a late start to racing. She followed up with an even better try here. Did that good track help or hurt? Second time here is great while added half furlong might help front end plans. MISS MAGICAL comes out of the common race with out top pick but didn't fare nearly as well when 5th of 10. Breaking 8th had to hurt. That was a good try two back and it came going this far. This attack post is never a bad thing going 6 1/2 panels. LADY QUESTION did run well two and four back and perhaps that bodes well for today. She adds a full furlong but is a bit unlucky to draw the rail.

O CAPTAIN is better of late and now puts three races together all while drawing outside. Open claimers might help the price. Beaten favorite angle applies while regular rider tags along. DIME PAPI just won nicely and did so at 7-1. He gets in light again. That pace two back was just too fast, right? Did a sloppy Joe track hurt three back. That was a good try four back going this distance. Alas, this barn is 0 for 8 with their repeating winners but that sample size is small. BAY OF BENGAL might find the front end and laugh all the way to the bank. Stick 'em up.

JANANA HAN is by a 14% debut sire. Her dam went 23-4-4-4 and earned 135K. This is her first foal. This 4YO gets a late start to racing but we actually like that. Works are perfect. Herrera ends up here and that says volumes. EXQUISITE ran well in both starts and now returns off the freshening. She has some speed and could easily find the front end. STREET BELLE did beat over half the field home in her return try. That maiden claiming line helps the price as she tries special weights. Second Lasix is fine with us and this horse adds a full furlong.

MAITRE D goes second out for new barn, drops in class, has speed, and could find the front end. This guy digs the Tapeta where he has hit the exacta in 6 of 10 starts. Wire please. BEAUTY BOLT ran well two, four, and six back. That just has to bode well for today. Breaking 8th from the rail in his most recent didn't help matters. He draws better today. KING JULIEN did pass runners to win in his most recent even though he often showed speed before. Did this guy learn a new trick? New barn is noted. SANTO DIOS is the X factor. His last race came back key when 2 of 9 retuned to win with figs of 80 and 64.

ONE HUNDRED KINGS gets off the rail and adds a full furlong. He has worked twice since his most recent and keeps Camacho. We don't think this guy is done improving. Versatile style is always nice. DEMOLITION powered home nicely in his debut and now connections want stakes. All three sibs were great and earned 309K, 249K, and 283K. This barn is 22% with their repeating winners. Connections waste little time finding this colt a race and that we think that is a good sign. RAMAJAY has run a Beyer top in two of his last three starts. He doesn't need an early breather to run well and hails from a top barn.

Our top two choices both run for team Jospeh and then have four entrants in this stakes race. INDY BAY can put good races together just look at those tries at Oaklawn and Saratoga. Graded foes off the layoff were tough but this filly has settled in nicely here and just won easily. Race flow is average and maybe that helps this filly a little more than others. COOEY has speed and the rail. A good break is key and she has run well from the pine in two of her last three times there. She adds a full furlong and that should help front end plans along with a return to the dirt. JUST A PHILLY is feeling great so why not take a shot here. She loves it here and draws best.

AUGUSTINIAN was getting good before his last race. Did something go awry? He returns as a new gelding. A stalking trip off a legit pace should work well all with Herrera up. SABIAN did get some nice figs only two and three back. Was that the rare third race bounce previously? This gelding gets back to the synth where he has done all of his winning. STICKY MCSHNICKENS is a hard trier that ran well off the layoff. Team Orseno are 18% second off this type of layoff. Penchant for less is the main knock.

MOVENTOTHECOUNTRY improved in her second start off the bench when third on the drop to this $7.5K conditioned class. She's moving out to the appropriate distance of 1 1/16 miles from seven-eighths with the capable Reyes back aboard. MCKENZIE ROAD changed trainers over the winter after the now retired McKnight sent her out to wire $5K non-two stock Nov. 27. Minshall has excellent numbers with new shooters. BEAUTIFUL SKY is plunging to a new low from $25K and could make some noise in her third start back.

CLEAR POSITION finished a clear second with the aid of an inside bias after making an early move to the lead in the stretch when filling out the exacta for the third time in a row three weeks ago. She has most of the highest recent Beyers in the field and could be on the brink of a breakthrough. SUNNYVILLE was along for second in each of her last four outings dating back to November. This second race off a winter vacay could be a peak one. BERTHA, a daughter of outstanding broodmare sire Distorted Humor, is dropping from $25K under new rider Maragh, who's 1 for 2 for the barn.

DEWOLF won the Bull Page Stakes on the main turf two years ago at 2 before placing in the Cup and Saucer, G3 Grey and Coronation Futurity. He endured the sophomore jinx last year and returned to action this spring as a new gelding. He stumbled at the break during his troubled comeback, finishing third, and then ran wide against an inside bias most recently when fifth in another Tapeta sprint. Going back to the grass could be just what the doctor ordered here with the live bug Douglas gaining the mount. PRIVATE LABEL posted solid grass form last year and could be considered as an inner turf horse-for-course. Leading rider Pietro Moran picks up the mount for the powerful Dale D barn. AWESOME RAINBOW comes off an overdue and perhaps confidence-building score for $25K on the Tapeta. He merits another chance on the grass, over which he went unplaced in three starts.

WILD RED defeated two next-out winners when graduating over $15K maidens after a lovely stalking trip with a 57 Beyer May 29. She's breezed an average half-mile since and the Beyer par for this non-two level is 60, so she's in the ballpark. TANZANITE LILY was protected by waiver when third in her comeback for $7.5K and was in too deep most recently for $25K. This $15K class could hit her right between the eyes with Pietro taking over for red-hot trainer Sid Attard. CLOSING APPEAL polished off $10K non-two rivals with a 59 Beyer last time after ending up fourth in Wild Red's graduation.

FOURFIFTYFOUR went three-wide on the turn and wider in the lane while closing for fourth over a track that strongly favored inside and speed horses in her May 31 season opener. She should be prominent at a square price in this similar N1X with that tightener out of the way. DOLCE FORTUNA will be favored off her unbeaten record, even though she's been sidelined for a year. She's been working weekly since late April for a high-percentage layoff trainer and probably won't need one. I GOT MURPHED cleared two OS allowance conditions in May using her tactical speed and should be a factor if she runs her usual race.

LADY IZZY was a troubled fifth the last time she competed on the inner turf Oct. 2. After missing the break in her seasonal bow, she closed from sixth for second going seven-eighths on the Tapeta under Aebly, who retains the mount and is 4 for 13 at the meet for Sid. RATINGS UPGRADE beat OS/$40K maidens on the inner turf last August before struggling in some difficult spots. She's cheapening up to where she could get back on track in her second start off the shelf. YOU BE THE JUDGE is going long for the first time while continuing her slide down the value ladder. The 5yo is a half-sister to stakes-winning routers Cruden Bay (G2), Cooler Mike and Sav.

MIDNITE SADIE ran three-wide after breaking way out en route to a distant fifth behind two next-out winners in her improved second race off the bench. Her hot trainer has fared well when adding blinkers and she doesn't have much to beat in this $10K maiden claimer. SILVERDART is plunging from $25K off a subpar showing and isn't worth backing at a chalky price because this owner's droppers have disappointed here this spring. ANELA KAI hasn't raced since August but she can acquit herself well when fresh and could round out the top three with blinkers off.

SHAMATEUR fought for the lead on a live rail before giving way late when a clear second after exiting a four-month break while dropping to this bottom conditioned class June 12. Maragh takes over and the meet's fifth-leading rider is 1 for 4 for this hot barn. ONENIGHTSTANDARDS lagged behind the field on the backstretch before closing inside for fifth over a track that favored speed and rail runners vs. $15K rivals in his latest. THREE SONNY SIDEUP might be poised to take a step forward in his third start off the bench.

LEMON TWIST raced three-wide on the turn and wider in the stretch when a hard-ridden sixth over an inside-favoring track three weeks ago. His April 26 season opener, a front-running third, was more representative of his ability and he could hit the board as a longshot. MISS D'S PRIDE is shortening up a furlong off a late-running second going seven-eighths when descending to this level the other day. ALFRED BELLOWS and YODDHA are prospects for the lower rungs of the exotics.

ARYA'S QUEST earned the highest last-out Beyer in this field by a good margin when beating non-two opponents decisively and is a likely repeater under regular rider Hoyte. DePaulo had a 10% strike rate with last-out winners over the past five years ($1 ROI). REACH FOR THE TOP raced wide all the way after getting away slowly when fourth against tougher in her recent second try off the sidelines. CRUMLIN TROUBLE is jumping off up a $7.5K claim by hot trainer and might not be out of her league with these.

BACCARO POINT got fried in a speed duel when stretching out a mile in a recent inner turf experiment vs. $25K maidens. He's descending to a new low in this $15K Tapeta sprint and could make all the running under Munger. INTERIM ANALYSIS is reacquiring blinkers off an improved third in his second race off the shelf, during which he had a wide trip over an inside-biased track. MAC GOWAN is cheapening up to where he probably belongs. Use him on the bottom of vertical wagers, along with CARRICK ON STAGE.

GALLEY HEAD couldn't cut it against N2X/$50K opposition last time after winning an N1X Tapeta route while racing three-wide over an inside-favoring track May 3. She beat $20K claimers in her last grass outing in late March at Gulfstream and is a good fit in this $25K seller on the inner turf. MY GIRL SKY had a wide journey after a sluggish beginning when seventh in her seasonal bow vs. N1X/$32K stock. ZISISIT is another dropper from N1X/$32K company who could have a say in the outcome in the second start of her form cycle.

HEAVEN'S CHAMPION raced wide over an inside-preferred track when second in his second consecutive solid showing at this $15K non-three class June 7. He's worked well since and could break through with leading rider Pietro Moran gaining the mount. TUTTI CONTENTI benefited from an inside bias when a stalking second while protected by waiver in a longer sprint at this level in his May 23 comeback. FRACEN MACHO has to be better than his recent form would indicate and could wake up at a price.

PROFESSOR RELOAD raced wide throughout while closing from sixth to third over an inside-biased track when exiting the sidelines in a seven-furlong sprint on Tapeta, over which he made all nine of his starts. If he takes to the turf then he should be dangerous with clean trip. TREVALLY is protected by waiver for his first outing since a victory over $25K maidens on the Tapeta Nov. 15. The son of 13% turf sire Blame worked well last weekend under Moran. SILVER RALEIGH can handle either surface and should be a factor if he doesn't have too wide a journey from the outside post. CATEGORY FIVE is bred for the grass on the dam's side.
