6 Awesome Weekend(L) 116 Saez 4-6-10 Contessa 7-2

7 Kevin Silverlaspia(L) 122 Chamafi 5-3-3 Shivmangal 6-1

Charlie's Punch packs late punch and should be aided by 7-furlong trip. Awesome Weekend gets class relief and logged sharp 5-furlong work since last start; very interesting. Bizzaroworld is speedy and could prove very tough on a soft lead.

11/16 Mile. (Turf). Starter Optional Claiming. 3&up. Maiden Claiming $20,000. Purse: $29,000.

1 Uncle Mitcho(L) 118 Davis 4-8-9 Antonucci 10-1

8 Aurora Lumiere(L) 113 Rodriguez 9-x-x Pugh 12-1

9 Master of Markets(L) 124 Ortiz 6-7-4 Zito 8-1

10 Bedouin Now(L) 118 Velasquez 3-2-3 Jacobson 7-2

Mobridge was much-improved third in last and now makes first start for Bill Mott. Master of Markets is fresh and hails from white-hot Nick Zito barn; dangerous. Trainingforsuccess is fleet-footed and should be tighter in second start since four-month absence.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $16,000. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $23,000.

1 Broadway Hat(L) 118 Saez 7-2-8 Jacobson 2-1

2 King Keene(L) 124 Davis 5-2-3 Contessa 4-1

3 Quiet Miracle(L) 118 Laredo 3-9-7 Granville 12-1

4 Winning Gold 118 Maragh 6-6-5 Persaud 10-1

5 Bernardo 111 Franco 6-9-x Toscano, Jr 20-1

6 Saguaro Blossom(L) 114 Hiraldo 5-8-7 Aquilino 6-1

7 Sunrise Lover(L) 118 Chamafi 5-4-8 Jones 12-1

8 Ardnagall Summers(L1) 118 Castro x-x-x Kenneally 5-2

Winning Gold wheels back in a hurry after logging lifetime best pace figure in last week. Sunrise Lover drops after failing to handle the mud in last; price will be tempting. King Keene is another that regressed on wet track in last; consider. Saguaro Blossom (improved speed in last) and Quiet Miracle (change-of-pace third in last) are two more contenders in wide-open dash.

5 1/2 Furlongs. Claiming $15,000. 4&up. Purse: $23,000.

1 Bwana Booyah(L) 113 Franco 1-8-1 Rojas 12-1

2 Ganador(L) 118 Ortiz 4-7-1 Galluscio 6-1

3 Classic R and B(L) 118 Castro 8-6-3 Sciacca 7-2

4 Terminus(L) 118 Velasquez 2-5-3 Rice 7-5

5 Little Dale(L) 118 Saez 7-3-3 Gullo 5-1

6 D' Sauvage(L) 113 Rodriguez 4-3-2 Chatterpaul 4-1

Bwana Booyah exits front-running score in last and could get jump once again with aggressive handling. Ganador also is speedy and fired half-mile bullet since last start; big-time player. Classic R and B will be in the garden spot if top pair battle for the lead.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Special Weight. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $50,000.

1 D J's Hope(L) 118 Alvarado 8-5-2 DeMola 6-1

2 Bustin Chops(L1) 113 Coa x-x-x Levine 8-1

3 Stone Rocks(L) 118 Velasquez 4-7-3 Jerkens 4-1

5 Closingtothewire(L) 124 Espinoza 8-2-3 Lotruglio 20-1

6 Can't Catch Me Now(L) 108 Hiraldo 8-5-4 Barrera, III 15-1

7 M P Joe(L) 124 Castro 5-3-2 Chin 3-1

8 Magic Q. G.(L) 118 Ortiz 5-2-x Englehart 5-1

M P Joe gets rider upgrade, closes strongly and fired 3-furlong bullet on Tuesday. D J's Hope, another with bullet drill since last race, adds blinkers and should move forward in second start since February. Stone Rocks earned good number when an even fourth in last; consider.

1 1/16 Mile. (Turf). Allowance Optional Claiming. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $57,000.

1 Dual Citizen(L) 122 Velasquez 9-9-6 Duggan 4-1

2 Fortitude(L) 122 Castro 6-3-5 Schosberg 8-1

3 East of Danzig(L) 122 Saez 2-3-3 Pugh 5-2

10 Lemansky(L) 122 Ortiz 3-4-7 Englehart 4-1

11 Jonrah(L) 122 Alvarado 5-3-4 Bush 6-1

12 Dehere of the Cat(L) 122 Maragh 2-6-3 Trombetta 9-5

East of Danzig owns fast late pace figs and owns win and a third in two starts on Big A sod. Thor's Mjolnor tallied deceptively fast final fraction in lone grass start last fall; worth long look at long price. Dual Citizen owns fast back numbers and starts from the fence on tight-turned course; very interesting.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. NY Bred. Purse: $52,000.

2 Cuvee City(L) 121 Alvarado 1-5-2 Asmussen 15-1

1 Overextended(L) 121 Ortiz 5-1-1 Jacobson 5-2

6 Flo's Greatness(L) 114 Tomas 5-1-2 Iselin 12-1

7 Stonely the Lonely(L) 113 Maragh 3-1-3 Levine 6-1

8 Reggie D(L) 119 Saez 2-6-5 Gullo 6-1

Al's Lark was a determined winner in last and shows a history of pairing up victories. Reggie D holds sharp current form and packs potent late kick on 'A' game. Hay Shares visually and numerically impressed when winning debut; very dangerous.

1 1/16 Mile. (Turf). Allowance Optional Claiming. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $69,000.

2 Sweet and Lovely(L) 118 Espinoza 4-5-5 Wilkes 4-1

3 Shakeira(L) 118 Maragh 1-2-2 Brown 5-2

4 Sure Route(L) 118 Saez 7-3-2 Ribaudo 5-1

Main Track Only

7 Ode to Sami(L) 118 No Rider 3-5-5 Contessa 2-1

8 Belle Gallantey(L) 118 No Rider 2-2-4 Friedman 5-2

1a Opalite(L) 118 No Rider 6-1-4 Donk 7-2

Shakeira owns field's fastest final fractions and is working consistently for first start in 153 days. Deanaallen'skitten, an uncoupled barn mate of top selection, delivers strong efforts with machine-like regularity; could easily take this. Zultanite compiled a string of endurance-building works for first start since October; right in the thick of this on 'A' game.

7 Furlongs. 4&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $64,000.

1 Sailmate(L) 118 Alvarado 2-3-4 Kimmel 3-1

2 Big Business(L) 118 Velasquez 2-2-1 Jacobson 5-2

3 N. F.'s Destiny(L) 120 Ortiz 3-1-1 Rice 2-1

4 Schoolyard Dreams(L) 118 Saez 5-2-9 Jacobson 8-1

5 Night Maneuver(L) 118 Castro 2-2-1 Martin 5-1

6 St Liams Halo(L) 118 Maragh 4-8-3 Contessa 12-1

Sailmate was pace and position compromised last time and rates close call based on price potential. Big Business is rested and 1-for-1 at the 7-furlong trip; very dangerous. N. F.'s Destiny owns bullet-like speed and fast figs but distance could be the stumbling block; handle with care at short ticket.

1 Mile. (Turf). 3&up. Maiden Special Weight. NY Bred. Purse: $55,000.

1 My Pal of Pals(L) 124 Fragoso 6-7-3 Sciacca 20-1

11 You Tarzan(L) 118 Espinoza 2-3-5 Ortiz 6-1

12 Volatile Markets(L) 118 Ortiz 4-2-x Violette, Jr 5-2

13 Fiona's Hero(L) 118 No Rider 3-4-x Schettino 3-1

M Six didn't show much as a juvenile, but is training with a purpose for 3-year-old debut for Pletcher; improvement expected. Make a Decision logged fast numbers on GP sod this past winter; very dangerous. Shortcoming tallied better-than-it-looks final fraction in lone turf outing last fall; price will be tempting. My Pal of Pals makes first start since August for barn that's capable with long layoff runners on the turf.
