8 Awakino Cat(L) 120 Velasquez 3-10-2 Rice 15-1

Main Track Only

9 Head Heart Hoof(L) 118 No Rider 5-2-2 Dutrow 5-2

Perfect Officer owns sit-and-pounce running style that should be well served in ultra-tough opener. Great Mills is speedy and logs fast figs; very dangerous. Fiddlers Patriot regressed in last after fast-figured win in prior. Bridgetown almost always fires his 'A' game.

12 Oxbow 118 Prado x-x-x Lukas 12-1

13 Honorable Dillon(L1) 118 Lezcano x-x-x Kenneally 10-1

Show Some Magic was a clear-cut second behind a next-out winner in last. Hot West fired three straight bullets for debut; stay tuned to tote. Well Lawyered shows work tab that culminated with swift 5-furlong breeze.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Maiden Special Weight.

NY Bred. Purse: $60,000.

1 Bonita Sonata(L) 119 Rosario 5-3-2 Bond 10-1

8 Cinematize(L) 119 Dominguez 4-3-x Dutrow 5-2

9 Bella Silver(L) 116 Garcia 2-9-8 Ferraro 8-1

Bonita Sonata closes and could receive ideal setup in probable pace dynamics. Cinematize was dueled into defeat when 60 cents on the dollar last time; rebound potential Wild Grace (ultra-game third in debut) and Clear Pasaj (bested Cinematize and 'Grace' last time) are both contenders in wide-open heat.

15 Professor Chaos(L) 119 Napravnik 5-9-3 Metivier 15-1

16 Alarmed Ndangerous(L) 119 Velasquez 2-5-3 Rice 5-2

Sonnyandpally owns sprinter's speed and should be well positioned in big field. Frisky Cat (fast final fraction in last) and Alarmed Ndangerous (late-running second in most recent) both must be considered if able to escape AE list. Sam's Buck should move forward in third start since five-month layoff.

16 Wistful Wildcat(L) 117 Cohen 6-10-1 Parisella 20-1

Blue Creek drops and returns to dirt for crafty Wayne Catalano barn. Political Justice could play out as the main speed if able to draw into body of race. Ventura Bar could be the prime beneficiary if pace meltdown ensues. How Do I Win owns fast back figs; damaged goods?

12 Grandpa Len(L) 119 Lezcano 6-6-2 Donk 12-1

13 Escape Artist(L) 119 Castellano 4-2-3 Brown 3-1

Ruthless Alley fired crisp half-mile breeze since game second in last; more to come. Lure Of The South packs potent late kick and will offer fat ticket; worth long look. Reflecting is improving and has benefit of rail on tight-turned course. Candy Feat has trained sharply since willing third in debut; right in the thick of this.

15 Dehere of the Cat(L) 117 Maragh 2-3-4 Trombetta 5-2

Roaring Conquest was pace and trip compromised when a solid third in last. Yankee Kitten is working with a purpose for first start in more than a year. Parachute Coney is riding a two-race winning streak; must consider.

1a Unguided Missile(L) 117 Espinoza 7-4-6 Lostritto 30-1

Adios Nardo tallied swift late pace figure when breaking maiden in last; pairs up. Reserve Currency gets favorable cutback and should pack intensified late kick. Up Above and Standing O both own speed and each must be factored into the mix.

1 Bellamy Brew(L) 121 Lezcano 1-x-x Mott 4-1

8 Fusa Code(L) 121 Alvarado 3-6-5 Asmussen 20-1

9 Major Gain(L) 121 Rosario 5-8-3 Catalano 12-1

Bellamy Brew bested "live" field when winning debut at Belmont last fall and Mott barn excels with runners off the bench. Won Kool Kid has trained strongly since visually and numerically impressive debut; very dangerous. Shrewd One tallied very fast pace and final figs when a game second in last; bounces today?

10

1 Mile and 1 Furlong. The TVG COACHING CLUB AMERICAN OAKS (Grade I). 3yo. Fillies. Purse: $300,000.

6 In Lingerie(L) 121 Castellano 1-1-2 Pletcher 5-2

Questing tallied swift late pace and final figs when a hand-ridden winner in last ready for prime time. Zo Impressive was just that when winning Mother Goose last month; very dangerous. Funny Proposition should improve with return to dirt; don't ignore.

My Sweet Candy owns fast numbers and makes first start since claimed by Bruce Levine. Diamond d'Oro is fleet-footed and was clear-cut second in last; dangerous. Stormy Beauty could prove very tough on a soft lead. Cozy App owns competitive turf figs; don't ignore.
