6 Essence of a Hero(L) 118 Luzzi 6-8-6 Belsoeur 15-1
No Nukes drops and should pack amplified late kick with cutback to sprint. Kick'n Butt is riding a forward line on pace and final figures. Campion Lane was a clear-cut second in last; must consider.

5 Exclusive Sarah(L) 113 Rice 8-7-6 Jacobson 12-1
6 Taking a Chance(L) 118 Franco 2-3-1 Demasi 8-5
Taking a Chance bested a next-out winner when second in last at Prx; call based on price potential. Quiet Sunshine was a determined winner in last; very dangerous. Kaitlyns Cat also won last and could have more to give in third start of form cycle.

4 Alice and Trixie(L) 118 Franco 3-5-5 Contessa 3-1
5 Gingee(L) 117 Worrie 6-6-3 DiSanto 12-1
Naughty Matilda is fresh, training with a purpose and could play out as the main speed. Gingee was compromised by wide trip in last; price will be tempting. Sundae School gets class relief and owns fast figures on 'A' game.

2b Guyana Princess(L) 118 No Rider 3-3-2 Contessa 7-2
Island Wind Racingentry: Ascended Fever makes peak start of form cycle and logged both wins on grass and mate Imanindianoutlaw is speedy; potent pairing. Downtown Hottie owns three wins on Big A sod; very dangerous. Go Olivia Go consistently fires strong efforts; must consider.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $40,000. 3&up. Purse: $38,000.
2 Love's Dreams(L) 118 Ortiz, Jr 4-x-x Nevin 4-1

6 Surfspun(L) 124 Ortiz 3-5-4 Englehart 6-5
7 Beau Who(L) 124 Franco 5-3-2 Brown 6-1
In Speight Ofitall was an even third in last and should move forward in second start since four-month absence. Surfspun owns speed and makes first start with maiden claiming tag; dangerous. Love's Dreams was compromised by wide trip in debut. My Pisano is training with a purpose for first start in 118 days; don't ignore.

8 Bi Light of Day(L) 119 Rice 7-3-2 Hertler 12-1
9 Legally Bay(L) 124 Esquivel 3-4-4 Coffey 10-1
Fire Ship notched improved final fraction when a clear-cut second in last; more to come. Penella could be aided by today's added ground. That's No Limit is another that could benefit from longer trip.

61/2 Furlongs. Claiming $16,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $26,000.
1 Granby Girl(L) 122 Lezcano 6-6-3 Ortiz 5-1

7 Precious Franca(L) 115 Mejias 5-1-9 Grusmark 10-1
8 Finders Key(L) 122 Arroyo 6-5-4 Perillo 5-2
Casual Elegance cuts back and should pack intensified wallop in weak field. Finders Key is speedy, fresh and fired 5-furlong bullet last week. Sweetest Side has won two straight and will offer generous price; worth long look.

7 Furlongs. Allowance Optional Claiming. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $64,000.
1 Hot Rendezvous(L) 122 Franco 2-1-1 Contessa 5-1

4 Six Queens(L) 122 Saez 1-2-1 McLaughlin 7-5
5 Love to Score(L) 122 Ortiz, Jr 4-6-7 Rodriguez 6-1
Hot Rendezvous was a tough-trip second in last after winning prior two outings; rates close call in small but contentious field. Elena Strikes logged swift internal and final numbers when a dominant winner in last at GP; very dangerous. Love to Score is right in the thick of this on 'A' efforts.

1 Mile. (Turf). Claiming $25,000. 3&up. Purse: $35,000.
1 Smokey Brown 122 Saez 7-7-1 Toscano, Jr 5-1

10 Nelson Avenue(L) 122 Garcia 7-5-7 Quartarolo 30-1
Main Track Only
11 Jesses Giant Dunk(L) 122 Velasquez 5-5-1 Rice 6-1
12 Volatile Markets(L) 122 Maragh 5-2-4 Englehart 4-1
13 Mulheb(L) 122 Ortiz, Jr 5-5-5 McLaughlin 8-5
Sonnyandpally gets rider upgrade and returns to preferred footing; call based on price. Smokey Brown is rested and notched only win on turf; very interesting. Insighting exits sprints and should be favorably positioned in big field. Nelson Avenue needed last and owns fast-figured placing on Big A sod; worth long look at long price.
