7 Warrior Marie(L) 113 Lezcano 6-10-1 Streicher 20-1

8 Tonigail(L) 115 Alvarado 5-5-1 Signore, Jr 8-1

Blondecat closes in sprints and should be aided by today's added ground. Silver Chest makes third start of form cycle; dangerous. Marlene's Pearl is speedy and starts from the fence; worth a look.

7 Peachy Baby(L) 120 Alvarado 2-5-2 Reed 5-2

Peachy Baby is riding a forward line on the numbers and now makes peak start of form cycle. Stay Composed adds blinkers and could play out as the controlling speed. Jet Set Reya is fresh and gets class relief; price will be tempting.

6 Taconic Knight(L) 116 Rodriguez 4-6-9 Guerrero 4-1

7 Dirty Old Town(L) 123 Carr 4-1-2 Baker 5-2

Dirty Old Town regressed in last after fast-figured win in prior; rebounds. Exact Again was front-running winner in last and could play out as the main speed once again. Shoutout drops after never entering contention in last; contender on 'A' game.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. 4&up. Claiming $12,500. Purse: $32,000.

2 The Noz(L) 118 Garcia 7-8-5 Violette, Jr 10-1

7 Alcomatch(L) 113 Camacho, Jr 4-5-4 Toscano, Jr 20-1

1a Understatement(L) 118 Cohen 4-2-2 Jacobson 8-5

The Noz gets class relief and starts from the fence and could play out as the speed of the speed. Jacobson entry: Unbridled Danger is fleet-footed and mate Understatement owns fast figs; just one goes with Cohen listed on both. Alcomatch is right in the thick of this on best efforts.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. 4&up. Claiming $30,000-$25,000. Purse: $38,000.

1 Magical Myth(L) 120 Lopez 4-2-2 Breen 9-2

6 Majestic Hope(L) 120 Dominguez 3-6-4 Brown 2-1

7 Most Happy Fella(L) 120 Ortiz, Jr 5-2-3 Quick 5-2

Magical Myth regressed in last and could bounce back today with rail draw. Majestic Hope logs swift numbers with machine-like consistency. Most Happy Fella is right in the thick of this on best but barn is mired in 0-for-21 slump; mixed message.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. 3&up. Maiden Claiming $15,000. NY Bred. Purse: $30,000

1 Pegasus Hellas(L) 116 Alvarado 3-4-4 Metivier 7-2

7 Pegasus Papou(L) 123 Dominguez 3-3-2 Persaud 3-1

8 Sandican(L) 123 Castro 3-5-3 O'Brien 6-1

There Goes Vinny displayed improved speed in last and now makes third start since four-month layoff; career best predicted. Stonemill was a top-figured second in last; repeat effort would prove more than good enough. Pegasus Papou is 0-for-26 but owns fast numbers on 'A' game.

6 Furlongs. 3yo. Fillies. Claiming $35,000. Purse: $48,000.

1 Dancin On the Sand(L) 118 Silvera 8-6-3 D'Alessandro 30-1

9 McCarren Park(L) 118 Dominguez 4-4-1 Asmussen 5-2

10 Granby Girl(L) 113 Rodriguez 1-2-2 Ortiz 20-1

Mess in a Dress is 2-for-2 since moving to the inner track; more to come. Downhill Joey owns speed, fast figs and drops; could easily take this. McCarren Park failed to get the job done when 70 cents on the dollar last out but is more than good enough on best.

6 Furlongs. 4&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $64,000.

2 De Price(L) 118 Dominguez 2-5-2 Romans 7-2

1 Starforaday(L) 118 Velasquez 3-2-1 Levine 2-1

5 Que Posse(L) 118 Castro 4-2-1 McLaughlin 8-1

6 Hewitts(L) 118 Cohen 3-4-7 Jacobson 10-1

Starforaday consistently delivers a powerful stretch kick and now makes first start for Bruce Levine. Head Heart Hoof returns to claiming ranks after fast-figured placing in Hollies Hughes Handicap; big-time danger. Driven By Solar, a five-time winner on the inner track, owns fast numbers and is training strongly for first start since June.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. 3yo. Fillies. Maiden Claiming $25,000. NY Bred. Purse: $32,000.

1 Class Action Suit(L) 120 Ortiz, Jr 3-9-x Badgett, Jr 10-1

2 Destination Moon(L) 120 Dominguez 6-2-x Jerkens 5-2

3 Royal Suspicion(L) 120 Montalvo 5-3-5 Ryerson 15-1

7 River's End(L) 120 Fragoso 2-4-6 Perkins, Jr 4-1

8 She's a Listener(L) 115 Camacho, Jr 6-4-x Contessa 10-1

9 Three Bet(L) 115 Rodriguez 5-5-5 Hennig 6-1

She's a Listener makes first start since claimed by Contessa, adds blinkers and owns running style that should be aided by two-turn trip. Destination Moon was fast-figured second in debut two starts back and now returns to maiden claiming ranks; could easily take this. Three Bet is working with a purpose for first start with maiden-claiming tag; very interesting. Expect Good News wheels back in a hurry after much-improved fourth last week; developing and dangerous.
