Best Bet: OUTTA MY MIND (5); Best Value: BACKCOUNTRY BOY (1)

1 mile. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. Claiming: $25,000. Purse: $25,000. Post - 12:30 p.m.1 Spiritual Tune(L) 120 Chavez 2-3-9 Barker 15-1

2 Jazzy Moves(L) 120 Espinoza 5-6-1 Barbara 12-1

5 Curlina(L) 120 Velasquez 2-1-3 Gullo 6-1

6 Australis Princess(L) 121 Hill 4-1-2 DiPrima 8-1

7 Spring Elusion(L) 115 Pedroza 3-7-9 Rice 9-2

8 Repreive(L) 120 Cohen 2-5-5 Levine 2-1

My Honey Laurie earned very fast late pace figure when a much-the-best winner in last; more to come. Australis Princess could prove very tough to collar on a soft lead; big-time player. Repreive was fast-figured second as the favorite in last; logical, short-priced contender.

6 Furlongs. 3yo. Maidens and Fillies. Purse: 42,000.

1 Corleone(L) 120 Cohen 9-2-6 Pletcher 3-1

2 Espresso Martini(L1) 120 Dominguez x-x-x Pletcher 7-2

3 Portside(L) 120 Velasquez 5-4-x Contessa 4-1

4 Satilla Shores(L1) 120 Alvarado x-x-x Terranova,II 8-1

5 Kerfuffle(L) 120 Hill 3-5-x Albertrani 5-2

6 J C's Queen(L) 120 Castro 7-5-9 Toscano, Jr 30-1

7 Siggi the Alien(L1) 120 Da Silva x-x-x Terranova,II 8-1

Kerfuffle earned field's fastest final figure when third in last and should have more to give in second start since August. Corleone could play out as the main speed on the fence with aggressive ride; very dangerous. Espresso Martini attracted Dominguez for debut and logged half-mile bullet on Dec. 19; follow the money.

1 Mile (Inner Dirt). 4&up. Maidens. Purse: $43,000.

1 Good to Be Me(L) 122 Alvarado 2-2-4 Brown 15-1

2 Savannah Bay(L) 122 Lopez 4-6-6 Zito 15-1

3 So Much Heart(L) 117 Hill 7-6-9 Reiff 50-1

4 Captain Stone(L) 122 Dominguez 2-6-4 Levine 9-5

5 Megaholtz(L) 122 Cohen 3-3-3 Pletcher 3-1

6 The Brush(L) 122 Valdivia, Jr 3-3-3 Zito 6-1

7 Que Posse(L) 122 Da Silva 2-2-x McLaughlin 2-1

Que Posse closes in sprints and could be aided by today's additional ground. Megaholtz consistently logs fast numbers, but is 0-for-10 and will offer short ticket; your move. Captain Stone compiled three works since last race and is right in the tick of this on best efforts.

6 Furlongs (Inner Dirt). 4&up. Maidens. Maiden Claiming: $12,500. Purse: $15,000.

1 Intrepid(L) 120 Dominguez 3-2-6 Dutrow, Jr 9-5

10 Blue Horseshoe(L) 120 Rivera 8-7-5 Martin, Sr. 30-1

11 Upper Afleet(L) 120 Lopez 9-4-7 Kelly 20-1

1a Gold Is Good(L) 120 Dominguez 5-7-6 Dutrow,Jr 9-5

All My Chips is fleet-footed and projects as the controlling front-runner in big field. Intrepid is fresh, starts from fence and drops to lifetime low for Rick Dutrow; could easily take this. Ulterior Motive ships in from South Florida and owns competitive numbers; don't ignore.

6 Furlongs. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $17,000.

1 Who's the Cowboy(L) 118 Cohen 1-6-1 Englehart 5-2

8 Mitigation(L) 118 Chavez 4-6-2 Gullo 15-1

9 Good Karma(L) 118 Rivera 8-6-5 Martin, Sr. 30-1

10 Miles Heir(L) 120 Alvarado 1-8-1 Volk 10-1

Who's The Cowboy wheels back in a hurry after earning fast late pace and final figures when winning last week; pairs up. Mitigation gets class relief and owns fast back figures; price will be tempting. Poppa's Pick drops after chasing swift fractions in last; big-time danger.

6 Furlongs. 3yo. NY Bred. Maiden Claiming $25,000. Purse: $21,000.

1 Hot Danger(L) 120 Castro 5-x-x Contessa 5-2

8 The Point Is(L) 120 Lopez 7-x-x Brown 20-1

9 Sunny Isles Girl(L) 120 Velasquez 4-x-x Maker 12-1

Hot Danger made menacing middle move when a tough-trip fifth in debut and is favorably posted for first two-turn start. Summer Flick has logged solid numbers since adding blinkers and Lasix three starts back; very playable. Dita made mild rally in first outing and could be aided by today's added ground.

6 Furlongs. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $15,000.

9 Unbridled Grit(L) 115 Amaro 3-4-3 Grusmark 12-1

10 Zen Village(L) 115 Pedroza 2-3-3 Jacobson 5-1

Mr. Hadif exited maiden ranks the first time he touched the winterized inner oval and could pair up victories at generous ticket. Scorch The Torch earned strong numbers when a willing second at this level in last; very dangerous. Swinging At Siro's drops into restricted claimer for white-hot Rick Violette barn; must respect.

5 Super Espresso(L) 118 Alvarado 1-2-3 Pletcher 5-1

6 Sing My Song(L) 118 Valdivia, Jr 2-2-1 Barbara 8-1

Indian Blossom packs powerful late kick on best and is training with a purpose for first start in 68 days. Obey The Rules makes first start for Rudy Rodriguez and starts from fence; potent combination. Super Espresso compiled eye-catching work slate since clear-cut score on Oct. 27; very dangerous.

6 Furlongs. 4&up. Claiming $7,500. Purse: $15,000.

9 Good Night Lucy(L) 122 Luzzi 3-6-2 Odintz 9-2

10 Lady Alma(L) 122 Espinoza 4-4-7 Kelly 15-1

Good Night Lucy earned improved internal numbers in last and could be primed for breakthrough in weak nightcap. Soldierette held length to the good on top selection when a wide second in last; very playable. Dreamnote exits game placing in last; logical, short-priced player. Hennessy Light drops to lifetime low and switches to Dominguez; must consider.
