10 Mr. Hopps(L) 116 Ortiz 6-5-1 Violette, Jr 15-1

Indigene Charm drops and returns to dirt; takes this on 'A' game. Captain Canuck also gets class relief and switches surfaces; very dangerous. Rutherford B. has improved dramatically in last two starts; right in the thick of this.

12 Bake Shop(L) 119 No Rider 3-7-x Bush 5-2

Post Pattern logged solid late pace fig when a tough-trip third in last; more to come. The Kenosha Kid owns speed and is from a dam that's produced two turf winners; big-time player. Sneaky Kitten held two lengths to the good on top selection when second in debut; very dangerous.

5 Sam Sparkle(L) 121 Ortiz, Jr 3-3-5 Contessa 6-1

Star Harbour was done in by hot fractions in last; softer flow today. Sam Sparkle fired crisp half-mile drill since third in last; dangerous. Self Control is fresh and owns fast figures.

14 Back Room Deal(L) 123 Dominguez 9-8-2 Nicks 4-1

15 No More Taxes(L) 116 Garcia 6-9-7 Prine 50-1

Titus Catienus tallied swift number when sprinting on the Belmont sod in debut last spring; 11-week layoff is key. Wicked Irish needed last and should be aided by today's shorter trip. Fullcontrol displayed good turn of early foot in debut; must respect.

Also Eligible

13 Springcourt(L) 121 Cohen 4-2-3 Jacobson 4-1

Chilton returns to claiming ranks after speed and fade in last; two works in the interim seals the deal. Love Man made wide, sustained rally when fourth in last and shows a forward line on the numbers. Atitlan didn't give best on "soft" footing last time; dangerous on firmer ground.

1 1/16 Mile. (Widener Turf). Allowance. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $77,000

1 Island School(L) 121 Lezcano 2-4-5 McGaughey III 3-1

11 Victory for V L Ts(L) 121 No Rider 3-2-1 Rice 6-1

12 Hard Life(L) 121 Dominguez 3-2-1 Dutrow, Jr 4-1

Fire Assay makes peak start of form cycle after notching career best final fraction in last; more to come. Island School held a half-length to the good on top selection when a tough-trip second on May 31; could easily take this. Town Flirt won last on dirt and is equally capable on turf. Color Blind has trained sharply since winning turf debut on May 6; right in the thick of this.

Main Track Only

15 Live for Today(L) 117 Alvarado 2-7-2 Schettino 2-1

Gossip Column tallied swift final fraction when a clear-cut maiden winner in last; pairs up. Adirondack Dancer owns fast figs on 'A' game; could easily take this. Camp Topridge is rested and would be aided by hot pace; price will be tempting.

5 Gypsy Robin(L) 123 Garcia 1-1-1 Ward 5-1

6 Sea Island(L) 116 Garcia 1-1-2 McGaughey III 10-1

Agave Kiss holds edge on pace and final numbers. Jamaican Smoke is riding a two-race winning streak; worth a look. Gypsy Robin has won three straight; don't dismiss.

6 Mucho Macho Man(L) 118 Smith 3-1-1 Ritvo 4-1

7 To Honor and Serve(L) 120 Lezcano 3-1-1 Mott 9-5

Endorsement is fleet-footed and rested and could get early jump in contentious Suburban Handicap. To Honor and Serve owns very fast figs on best efforts; big-time player. Stay Thirsty compiled eye-catching work slate for first start in 51 days.

15 Take Down Two(L) 120 No Rider 1-3-2 Rice 4-1

16 Bravo Romeo(L) 113 Garcia 3-1-2 Rodriguez 5-2

Sly packs potent late kick and could receive perfect setup in field with ample speed. Fisherman's Wharf could easily take this on best efforts. Ezzy's speed must be respected. Saints Alive is another front-runner that could prove tough on unchallenged lead.
