11 Lionator(L) 109 Rodriguez 6-8-11 Schwartz 50-1Mahfouz earned fast numbers when a clear-cut second in last; more to come. Go to the Net is riding an improving line on the figures. War Hitch drops and gets favorable cutback to sprint.2

8 Moshe Diane(L) 111 Rodriguez 6-1-6 Sedlacek 15-1

Jardenia makes first start for Dominic Galluscio after hard fought third in last; rail draw seals the deal. Ready to Party also makes first start for Galluscio and owns fast figs on 'A' game. Marlene's Pearl is a front-running threat on best.

6 Sasueno(L) 122 Dominguez 7-5-6 Asmussen 2-1

Pawleys Porch packs potent late punch and is fresh and rested. Tiz a Lil Meatball looms the main speed on the fence; very dangerous. Sasueno drops and makes peak start of form cycle.4

10 Northern Rush(L) 120 Dominguez 9-x-x Asmussen 5-1

Exciting Missile made wide move and flattened last out; more to give today. Rico Capote is training consistently for first start in 179 days; dangerous. Blake Street Bully's best efforts place him squarely in the mix.

8 Sacred Success(L) 122 Dominguez 1-2-x Dutrow, Jr 3-5

Sacred Success has delivered strong efforts in both starts; prohibitive price is the problem. Princess Reyana unleashed strong kick to win last; worth long look. Fast Fleet Cat owns win and a second in two starts; big-time player.6

1 Mile and 70 Yards. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. $7,500. Purse: $28,000..

11 Crafty N P(L) 120 Lopez 6-6-3 Rice 12-1

12 Chalk Player(L) 115 Camacho, Jr 5-6-4 Persaud 8-1

Sweet As A Kiss is fresh and should be forwardly placed in big field; call based on price potential. Hoopskirt plunges sharply after failing to hold lead in the stretch last time; problems brewing? Zodiac Girl overcame very slow fractions to win last; very interesting.7

6 Furlongs. 4&up. Allowance Optional. Purse: $54,000.

1 Mineswept(L) 123 Montalvo 2-2-1 Jacobson 2-1

10 Al's Deputy(L) 118 Curatolo 6-4-5 Baker 20-1

Obviously Tuesday was done in by scalding splits last time; softer flow predicted today. Mineswept will be sitting in the catbird seat if top selection hits the wall in the lane. Cooper River was a determined winner in last; right in the thick of this.

7 Ginger Snapit(L) 118 Castro 1-4-2 Weaver 15-1

Risk A Chance logged career best final fraction when a clear-cut winner in last; pairs up. Cody Samora needed last and could prove very tough to catch on a soft lead; very dangerous. Opus A tallies fast figs with machine-like consistency; could easily take this.9

9 Olive Eye(L) 115 Camacho, Jr 12-9-8 Good 12-1

10 African Jazz(L) 120 Dominguez 2-8-6 Englehart 5-2

Bayshore Blaze notched solid late pace figure when winning last start and has benefit of the rail today. African Jazz is fresh, owns fast figs and makes first start for Chris Englehart; very dangerous. Miss Mexique is speedy and makes first start since claimed by Rudy Rodriguez; right in the thick of this. Soldierette owns competitive numbers on best.Entries -- © 2012 Equibase Company LLC, all rights reserved.
