1a Our Entourage(L) 118 Cohen 6-7-1 Jacobson 1-1
8 Lil O's Expression(L) 111 Tomas 4-6-5 Barrera, III 30-1
Wanstead packs solid late kick on best and rates call based on price potential. Jacobson entry: Black Pen is speedy and Our Entourage drops sharply; just one goes with Cohen listed on both. Terminus is fresh and owns three wins from five starts on main track; right in the thick of this.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Maiden Claiming $25,000. NY Bred. Purse: $30,000.
1 Beat of the Drum(L) 118 Maragh 5-5-6 Jerkens 6-1

6 Sunrise Lover(L) 118 Lezcano 4-8-4 Jones 10-1
7 Cepheus(L) 124 Saez 2-x-x Quartarolo 7-2
Treblemaker adds blinkers and drops after speed and fade in debut. Hoboken Joe debuts for Rudy Rodriguez; could be the goods. Sunrise Lover was an even fourth in last; must consider.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Claiming $12,500. Purse: $22,000.
1 Ginger's Joe(L) 117 Coa 9-6-8 Held 15-1
2 Revere(L) 122 Ortiz 4-5-1 Serpe 9-5
3 Tycoon Cat(L) 122 Camacho, Jr 5-3-5 Granville 6-1

6 Bwana Booyah(L) 117 Franco 8-1-7 Rojas 5-1
7 Handy Andy(L) 124 Silvera 1-6-4 Badgett, Jr 5-1
Tycoon Cat wheels back quickly, goes turf to dirt and should pack intensified kick in wide-open field. Bwana Booyah is fleet-footed and will prove a tough customer on a soft lead; very playable. Luxury Appeal owns fast back figs. Revere can take this on 'A' game.

1 Mile. (Turf). 4&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $69,000.
1 Tricky Hat(L) 118 Velasquez 9-6-1 McGaughey III 4-1

10 Sailmate(L) 118 Alvarado 2-3-4 Kimmel 8-5
11 Schoolyard Dreams(L) 118 No Rider 5-2-9 Jacobson 7-2
Hangover Kid consistently logs field's fastest late pace figures. Westside Corral owns two wins from three starts on Big A sod; very dangerous. Malibu Way should move forward in second start since nine-month layoff.

6 1/2 Furlongs. 3&up. Maiden Special Weight. Purse: $60,000.
1 Bad Hombre(L) 118 Ortiz 4-4-7 Kimmel 7-2
2 Mr. Right(L) 124 Lezcano 4-x-x McLaughlin 3-1
3 Able Baker Charlie(L) 111 Tomas 2-2-3 Hertler 8-1
4 Inchcape(L) 118 Velasquez 3-x-x Rice 7-2
5 Foggy Road(L) 118 Alvarado 5-x-x Rodriguez 5-1
6 All That(L1) 118 Maragh x-x-x Brown 6-1
7 One Man One Vote(L1) 118 Saez x-x-x Romans 10-1
8 Ocean Storm(L) 117 Franco 5-3-x Lotruglio 30-1
Bad Hombre logged four tight works since willing fourth on the grass at GP in February; rates close call. Inchcape was victimized by poor start in debut at GP and now makes first start since claimed by Linda Rice; big-time player. Able Baker Charlie has finished second in last two outings; right in the thick of this.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. NY Bred. Purse: $54,000.
1 Mighty One(L) 122 Falk 9-3-3 Falk 30-1
2 Writingonthewall(L) 122 Maragh 1-2-6 Levine 7-2
3 Dr Disco(L) 122 Lezcano 3-3-3 Jacobson 4-1
4 Odea(L) 122 Ortiz 1-2-1 Jerkens 3-1
5 Isn'tlovejustgrand(L) 117 Rodriguez 4-4-4 Aquilino 12-1
6 Pearl of Wisdom(L) 122 Saez 6-4-1 Rodriguez 8-1
7 Verbosity(L) 122 Hill 3-2-2 Hushion 5-2
8 Modern Child(L) 122 Silvera 6-3-5 Imperio 15-1
Verbosity delivers fast figs with machine-like consistency. Writingonthewall was a swift-numbered, front-running winner in last; could easily pair up. Dr Disco pursued hot fractions last time and should move forward in second start since 57-day absence.

1 Mile. 3&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. NY Bred. Purse: $57,000.
1 Archer Hill(L) 116 Solis 10-7-1 Lewis 5-1
2 Crea's Law(L) 122 Ortiz 8-5-3 Englehart 30-1
3 Call for the Clock(L) 116 Maragh 3-1-4 Hennig 12-1
4 Beyond Empire(L) 116 Velasquez 1-x-x McLaughlin 2-1
5 Swag Daddy(L) 122 Alvarado 4-6-5 Rodriguez 10-1
6 Hope Still Springs(L) 122 Cohen 1-4-9 Ness 20-1
1a Lawyer Jim(L) 122 Solis 6-1-2 Lewis 5-1
7 Everyotherdayhero(L) 116 Lezcano 5-1-9 Zito 20-1
8 Junior Officer(L) 122 Saez 3-3-2 Rodriguez 4-1
9 Game Token(L) 122 Luzzi 4-2-3 Schosberg 6-1
10 Ego Friendly(L) 116 Morales 2-1-6 Kimmel 12-1
11 Rock Star Charlie(L) 117 Coa 2-5-1 Contessa 20-1
Beyond Empire visually and numerically impressed when winning debut and logged three tight works in the interim; more to come. Game Token was pace compromised when an even fourth in last; price will be tempting. Hope Still Springs (crushed weaker field last time) and Junior Officer (game third in last) are two more contenders in contentious field.

6 Furlongs. The DISTAFF (Grade II). 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $200,000.
1 Hearts of Red(L) 115 Velasquez 6-2-1 Nicks 20-1
2 Spectacular Sky(L) 119 Saez 2-1-6 Wolfson 5-2
3 Nakano(L) 116 Solis 4-3-4 Wolfson 6-1
4 Cluster of Stars(L) 117 Alvarado 1-1-1 Asmussen 1-1
5 Los Ojitos(L) 114 Maragh 2-1-3 Canani 12-1
6 Miss d'Oro(L) 114 Lezcano 1-1-3 Servis 12-1
7 Villanesca(L) 114 Ortiz, Jr 1-4-1 McLaughlin 8-1
Villanesca logged fast final fraction when a clear-cut winner in last and is ideally posted in competitive Distaff Handicap. Cluster of Stars is 4-for-4 and owns an edge on pace and final figures; short price is the problem. Spectacular Sky is speedy and a serious front-end threat on best.

1 Mile. 3&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $67,000.
1 Visionary Man(L) 122 Maragh 1-6-2 Canani 8-1
2 This Hard Land(L) 122 Hill 3-6-4 Ubillo 12-1
3 Incognito 116 Luzzi 1-2-3 McLaughlin 2-1
4 Windafull(L) 122 Velasquez 1-4-1 Rodriguez 7-2
5 Risk Management(L) 116 Ortiz 1-2-x Violette, Jr 10-1
6 Cap the Moment 115 Tomas 1-2-3 Smith 20-1
7 Late Starter(L) 122 Cohen 4-2-1 Jacobson 4-1
8 Blue Creek(L) 122 Alvarado 3-3-1 Rice 15-1
9 Washington's Rules(L) 122 Lezcano 1-2-4 Jacobson 8-1
Visionary Man tallied swift late pace figure when winning last and is 1-for-1 on Big A's main track. Cap the Moment holds razor-sharp current condition and is likely to be overlooked in the wagering. Late Starter was less than a length behind top selection when a game second on March 1; must be factored into the mix.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Maiden Claiming $16,000. NY Bred. Purse: $23,000.
2 Purple Pico(L) 117 Tomas 8-5-8 O'Brien 30-1
3 Discreet Code(L) 119 Coa 3-2-3 Levine 4-1
4 Woburn 118 Saez 5-2-4 Dunham 10-1
5 Final Foose(L) 118 Lezcano 2-7-x Contessa 7-2
6 One Smokin Cat(L) 118 Silvera 6-5-x Gullo 6-1
7 Keyaly(L) 124 Luzzi 2-6-2 DiSanto 12-1
1 Thank's Forthe Son(L) 118 Velasquez 8-6-x Galluscio 3-1
1a Huge Asset(L) 118 Velasquez 5-6-x Galluscio 3-1
9 Winning Gold 118 Maragh 6-5-8 Persaud 10-1
10 Armed U S A(L) 118 Lezcano 10-6-x Zito 5-1
11 Saguaro Blossom(L) 114 Hiraldo 8-7-9 Aquilino 50-1
Final Foose displayed much improvement when second to a tons-the-best winner in last and fired half-mile bullet in the interim. Armed U S A hails from the white-hot Nick Zito barn; worth long look at long price. Discreet Code is a logical, short-priced player that can certainly take this based on any of his last three starts. Keyaly is 0-for-40 but regularly lands in the exotics.
