Post -- 1 p.m.

1 Stormin Bolt(L) 122 Cohen 3-2-8 McLaughlin 6-5

2 Mount Karakorum(L) 122 Luzzi 6-1-9 Odintz 12-1

3 Cajun Jet(L) 122 Husbands 9-6-5 Baker 8-1

4 Fayoum(L) 115 Rivera 6-4-3 Robinson 20-1

5 Mr. Grievance(L) 117 Pedroza 3-5-7 Asmussen 3-1

6 Mind Boggling(L) 122 Lezcano 4-7-3 Ferraro 8-1

7 Gold Is Good(L) 122 Velasquez 3-1-1 Dutrow, Jr 4-1

Stormin Bolt gets class relief after being dueled into defeat last time; main speed today with aggressive ride. Mind Boggling packs a potent stretch kick on best and could be in the garden spot if pace meltdown ensues. Mr. Grievance will prove very tough if able to shake clear from other frontrunners.

1 Mile. Maiden Claiming $35,000. 3&up. Purse: $24,000.

1 Redwood Falls(L) 118 Velazquez 6-3-x Pletcher 9-5

2 Wild Hero(L) 124 Luzzi 6-3-4 Baker 8-1

3 Mugger Hugger(L) 124 Blake-Baeza 5-7-8 Creary 30-1

4 Joker Jack(L) 118 Velasquez 2-4-x Rice 7-2

5 Lime Zest(L) 118 Espinoza 3-x-x Martin 8-1

6 Megaholtz(L) 124 Cohen 2-2-6 Pletcher 2-1

Lime Zest displayed good speed in debut and could play out as the controlling frontrunner with today's added ground; rates call based on price potential. Megaholtz has failed at 35 cents on the dollar in last two starts, but owns field's fastest final figures; prohibitive price once again. Redwood Falls regressed in last after fast-figured third in debut; dangerous on the rebound.

6 1/2 Furlongs. Starters Handicap. The PIPING HOT. 3&up. Purse: $26,000.

1 Missile Motor(L) 117 Rodriguez 4-5-1 Chatterpaul 5-1

1a Barnie's Bullet(L) 115 Rodriguez 1-2-1 Chatterpaul 5-1

2 Sure Success(L) 122 Castro 3-4-1 Parboo 4-1

3 The Zipster(L) 118 Cohen 1-3-2 Brown 3-1

4 Sheraguska(L) 119 Luzzi 3-1-2 Shivmangal 6-1

5 Frazil(L) 123 Velasquez 1-2-1 Rice 8-5

6 Viable(L) 116 Pedroza 1-1-3 Hertler 15-1

Frazil was a handy, five-length winner at two turns in last and should pack amplified kick with cutback to sprint; close call in ultra-contentious heat. Zipster was fast-figured winner on St. Paddy's Day and now makes first start since claimed by Bruce Brown; could easily take this. Viable has won two straight and will likely offer fat odds; worth long look. Chatterpaul entry: Missile Motor and Barnie's Bullet both own swift numbers; just one goes with Rodriguez listed on both.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $12,500. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $15,000.

1 Digital Joe(L) 124 Cohen 2-2-3 Contessa 5-2

6 Pegasus Papou(L) 118 Hill 3-6-4 O'Brien 5-1

7 Cella Muffler(L) 113 Rodriguez 7-5-5 Toscano, Jr 20-1

Isn'tlovejustgrand earned improved late pace figure when a clear-cut second in last; more to come. Digital Joe exits tough-trip placings in last two; obvious contender. Vision of Magic makes peak start of form cycle after earning improved numbers in last two; very dangerous.

1 Mile. Claiming $10,000. 3&up. Purse: $21,000.

1 Idol Image(L) 122 Studart 2-3-2 Chatterpaul 7-2

4 Copper Cascade(L) 122 Castro 5-3-7 Galluscio 5-1

5 Bai Bai Dubai(L) 122 Lopez 4-8-8 White 12-1

6 Pegasus Ena(L) 122 Cohen 1-3-5 Brown 9-5

Pegasus Ena gets price hike after logging quick final fraction when winning last; pairs up. Parkinson Field defeated top selection by nearly nine lengths on Feb. 26 and consistently earns fast numbers. Idol Image closes in sprints and has run well at today's mile trip.

1a Ferocious Won(L) 124 No Rider 2-1-3 Sciacca 6-1

2b Dealing Lucky(L) 119 Rodriguez 5-2-1 Persaud 15-1

Budget is 1-for-1 on Big A sod and could offer best price potential of the contenders in wide-open turf heat. Close to the Vest is fleet-footed and could prove very tough to catch on soft lead. Smart Enuf owns fast grass numbers and could be in the catbird seat if pace meltdown ensues.

6 Furlongs. Claiming $7,500. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $17,000.

2 Our Montana Dream(L) 115 Rivera 8-7-9 Attwood 50-1

3 Autumnlady(L) 122 Davila, Jr 6-4-4 Tebbutt 5-2

4 Saratoga Tiger(L) 122 Hill 6-1-2 Shivmangal 7-2

5 Karakorum Jete(L) 122 Davis 1-7-3 Odintz 8-1

6 Lovable McGriff(L) 122 Wolliaston 4-6-5 Henry 20-1

1 Indy's Forum(L) 117 Rodriguez 5-2-6 Persaud 2-1

1a Decorated Court(L) 117 Rodriguez 6-8-8 Persaud 2-1

7 Thunderin Your Ear(L) 117 Pedroza 5-1-10 Campo, Jr 12-1

8 Spiritual Tune(L) 122 Alvarado 4-4-5 Barker 6-1

Indy's Forum succumbed to sizzling splits in last but should capitalize on softer flow today. Autumnlady is 1-for-2 on Big A's main track and should be ideally positioned if top selection wilts in the lane. Saratoga Tiger spun his wheels in the slop last time but was determined winner on dry land in prior; bounce-back potential.

8 Fulton Street(L) 116 Cohen 1-2-1 Kimmel 8-1

9 Pete's Parley(L) 122 Espinoza 3-4-1 Aquilino 4-1

Midnight Billy compiled an eye-catching work tab for first start since Thanksgiving and should pack intensified late wallop in main-track sprint. Fiery Footwork chased hot fractions when an even third in last; improving and dangerous. Pete's Parley is speedy and owns fast figures; must consider.

11 Illgiveyouwattever(L) 124 No Rider 2-4-6 DiPrima 3-1

Tulane Up was a better-than-it-looks fourth in debut on grass last summer and now makes first turf start versus NY Breds. Isabella Bella has been training with a purpose at GP for debut; worth long look if the money shows. City Vice is a 6-year-old mare that's 0-for-26, but owns speed and could be in the hunt. Mommy's Dearest could wakeup at juicy price with switch to sod.
