7 Willy Beamin(L) 119 Castro 9-5-1 Schettino 7-2

Pure Grit consistently logs fast final fractions and could get ideal setup in compact field. Star Distinction ships north after front-running score in last at GP; dangerous. Willy Beamin was a determind winner in lone start on Big A's main track; worth long look.

5 Star Of New York(L) 123 Velasquez 3-1-1 Dutrow, Jr 3-1

Groomedforvictory tallied improved internal figs in last and is a seven-time winner at mile trip. Star Of New York endured rough trip in last after winning prior two starts; big-time player. Manteca was fast-numbered second in first start in more than a year last time; right in the thick of this.

Sneaky Girl is riding a forward line on the numbers and wheels back in a hurry after late-running third on Sunday. Fiddlers Diva will prove very tough on a soft lead. Santorini Moon drops off the claim after regressing in last; fire sale?

5 Giant Sensation(L) 123 Alvarado 1-3-5 Pletcher 6-1

1 Mile. 3&up. Maiden Claiming $45,000-$35,000. Purse: $37,000.

9 Cat Man Fu(L) 115 Carr 2-6-3 Hosang, Jr 30-1

Buckeye Heart closed in both starts at 6 furlongs and should be aided by additional quarter mile. Acadian Blues is fresh, training sharply and owns field's fastest final figs; could easily take this. Mr. Beer Googles owns speed and could play out as the controlling front-runner.

6 Pleasantfriday(L) 115 Camacho, Jr 1-1-1 Friedman 3-1

Emily Allstar gets class relief after spinning her wheels in the mud last time; call based on price potential. Taconic Victory was compromised by soft pace and wide moved when second in last; dangerous. Pleasantfriday is riding a three-race winning streak; must respect.

9 Outside Love(L) 122 Rodriguez 7-4-1 Maver, Jr 30-1

10 Raffie's Bandit(L) 116 Cohen 5-2-3 Ryerson 12-1

D' Sauvage makes quick comeback after making five-wide move into hot final fraction on Sunday; more to come. Thor's Mjolnor flashed improved speed in last and could make serious impact with return to rating tactics today. Quiet Eyes logged very fast pace and final figures when a dominant winner in last; bounces with just two weeks' rest?

10 Blazing Arches(L) 123 Silvera 2-5-4 Toscano, Jr 7-2

11 Snipp(L) 116 Rivera 6-12-9 Johnson 15-1

Shes Tuff As Nails drops after even fifth in last; weakness of field is selection's strength. She's A Listener made middle move in last and will benefit from cutback in distance. Fall Into Faith is riding an improving line on the numbers. Private Councel could easily impact on 'A' game.
