8 Moonwalk Beauty(L) 121 Lezcano 6-5-5 Martin, Sr. 15-1

Freud's Notebook gets class relief and owns speed and fast figures. Silver Chest was a clear-cut winner in last at Crc and fits well with locals at this level. Mordecai Jones logged a second and a win last two dirt starts.

6 Furlongs. 2yo. Fillies. Maiden Special Weight. NY Bred. Purse: $40,000.

6 Flea Flicker(L) 120 Dominguez 4-3-2 McLaughlin 4-1

7 Jet Set Reya 113 Birriel x-x-x Persaud 30-1

Peggy Jane was second to an ultra-talented rival in debut. Flea Flicker was fourth in same Oct. 22 heat as top selection; dangerous. A. P. Hutchy returns from helpful freshener.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Maiden Special Weight. Purse: $51,000.

1 Villa(L) 122 Alvarado 7-5-x Albertrani 7-2

3 Westside Singer(L) 122 Luzzi 6-2-3 Parisella 10-1

4 My Lucky Shoes(L) 122 Lopez 4-2-3 Breen 2-1

5 File Gumbo(L) 117 Curatolo 6-2-4 Clement 8-5

6 Miz Shugina(L) 117 Ortiz, Jr 5-3-5 Ubillo 15-1

File Gumbo should pack intensified late kick with return to dirt. My Lucky Shoes regressed in last after fast-figured placing in prior; rebound potential. Time Marches On adds blinkers and could play out as the controlling speed.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. 2yo. Fillies. Maiden Claiming $25,000. Purse: $23,000.

1 Glynisthemenace(L) 120 Velasquez 7-8-x Kenneally 2-1

6 Smokin' Alice(L) 120 Nakatani 4-10-4 Hennig 8-1

7 Very Special Lady(L) 120 Garcia 10-3-10 McPeek 4-1

Tiana moves to dirt and makes peak start of form cycle for Rick Dutrow; weakness of field is selection's strength. Very Special Lady also drops and switches surfaces. Candelabra was second to a tons-the-best winner in last at Prx; must consider.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. The SOFT MORNING. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. NY Bred. Purse: $60,000.

1 Opus A(L) 120 Garcia 5-2-2 Violette, Jr 2-1

3 Bailzee(L) 120 Nakatani 2-4-4 Kelly 8-1

4 Spa City Princess(L) 122 Dominguez 7-3-2 Kelly 9-5

5 Mineralogist(L) 124 Cohen 9-4-1 Kimmel 5-1

Opus A is training strongly for first start since 47-day freshener; primed and ready. Saltamontes is fleet-footed and will prove very tough on a soft lead. Bailzee is 2-for-2 on inner surface ad would be aided by hot fractions.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. NY Bred. Purse: $44,000.

1 Game Token(L) 121 Alvarado 4-2-3 Lalman 6-1

2 Dakota Roadhouse(L) 121 Husbands 3-4-2 Ronen 20-1

8 Wise Stop(L) 116 Ortiz, Jr 6-2-2 Rodriguez 4-1

9 Al's Deputy(L) 116 Curatolo 5-1-3 Baker 15-1

10 Pin Number(L) 120 Velasquez 3-3-3 Galluscio 7-2

Make Note drops and consistently logs field's fastest final fractions. Premium Wine was a fast-figured winner at this level in last; could easily take another. Won Great Classic logged lifetime best numbers on inner surface last winter.

8 Sienna Rain(L) 120 Cohen 5-x-x Contessa 10-1

9 Full of Intent(L) 120 Alvarado 7-x-x Rice 3-1

Carmichael's Prize compiled four tightly grouped works since failing to fire on muddy track in debut; dry land is key. Under A Rainbow drops to maiden claimer and switches to dirt after never getting involved in debut on turf; very interesting. Primed For Success gets price hike after even third as the favorite last out.

1a The Roundhouse(L) 115 Curatolo 3-1-4 Persaud 20-1

Tudor King owns sprinter's speed and projects as the controlling front-runner in big field. Ocean Seven starts from the rail and owns razor-sharp current condition. Giopi makes first start since claimed by Rudy Rodriguez; must consider. Leatherhead logged both career wins on Big A sod.

6 Furlongs. 2yo. Maiden Claiming $35,000. NY Bred. Purse: $23,000.

9 Adriatic Spirit(L) 120 Lopez 4-11-5 Donk 8-1

10 Dan's Gold(L) 115 Ortiz, Jr 9-x-x Aquilino 5-1

Tax Return logged three sharp works since much-improved third in last; continues forward trend. Tesoro Silver bested top selection by more than two lengths when second on Nov. 4; could easily be the play. Adriatic Spirit owns speed and top-shelf front-end rider. Dan's Gold drops after pop and stop in debut.
