10 Doctor Chit(L) 119 Dominguez 2-1-1 Pletcher 5-1

Willy Beamin makes quick comeback after easy score versus NY breds in Albany on Wednesday; ready for prime time. Trinniberg is the one that must be caught; very dangerous. Currency Swap is 3-for-3 over Spa loam and fired eye-catching half-mile bullet since winning last; right in the thick of this.

15 Joking 119 Maragh 3-x-x Albertrani 8-5

Ruthless Alley pulls seven pounds from the field and projects as the controlling speed with proper handling. Candy Feat has trained sharply since late running third in last; very playable. Night Site bested 'Feat' by more than two lengths when a solid second in last; be no surprise. Hogue displayed newfound early foot in last and must be considered if able to escape AE list.
