16 My Golden Opinion(L) 122 Dominguez 4-4-1 Rodriguez 7-2
Ziptronic was tough-trip third in last and should pack amplified kick at 6 furlongs. Ezzy gets two-level price hike after front-running score in last; very dangerous. Sly could impact at fat ticket if pace meltdown ensues.

7 Grand Rapport(L) 121 Nakatani 4-1-2 Contessa 4-1
8 Keep Me Informed(L) 121 Alvarado 1-1-5 Mott 3-1
Voodoo Storm was a clear-cut winner last month at Keeneland and has trained sharply in the interim. Lighthouse Sound drops and packs solid late punch on 'A' game. Achilles is 2-for-2 and ships in from SoCal for Neil Drysdale; dangerous.

8 Tramici Bay(L) 118 Cohen 3-7-x Servis 8-1
9 Readthebyline(L) 118 Velazquez 4-4-2 Schosberg 7-2
Notmyfirstime displayed sharp speed in debut at FG in December and has worked with a purpose for return. Readthebyline will be in the garden spot if top selection hits the wall in the lane. The Snickers Kid is riding a forward line on the numbers; right in the thick of this.

8 Sea Island(L) 118 Garcia 1-2-2 McGaughey III 3-1
9 Centrique(L) 116 Luzzi 1-8-5 Parisella 20-1
Sea Island tallied solid final fraction when besting a next-out winner en route to clear-cut maiden score last out; more to come. Mizzen Donald ships in from SoCal with fast figs. Silverette fired two bullet works since last start and could play out as the main speed.

Also Eligible
1a Eltheeb(L) 121 Cohen 3-6-6 Jacobson 5-2
Sumo is fresh and fired bullet half-mile on Monday and may get early jump in big field that's light on speed. Poni Colada gets class relief and looms the prime beneficiary if fractions get hot and hectic. Monastir is another that could impact with pace meltdown.

9 Colonial Flag(L) 118 Leparoux 1-5-x Matz 2-1
Colonial Flag notched swift late pace fig when a determined maiden winner last time. Dreaming of Cara has won three straight and could be overlooked in the wagering; very interesting. Fashion's Flight was a game second on Belmont sod last summer; don't ignore.

15 Deluxe Package(L) 121 Luzzi 4-1-2 Rice 6-1
16 Shipshape(L) 116 . 4-1-11 Mott 8-1
Nine O Wonderful was pace and trip compromised in last and logged only win on Belmont turf. Indy Sea compiled string of stamina building workouts for first start in 225 days; price will be tempting. New Yawker and Kanagaro were both strong seconds in their last starts; neither would surprise.

Also Eligible
10 Truth Will Tell(L) 121 Castro 1-2-3 Baker 5-2
Rogue's Jewel has been on the bench since November but fired big effort when fresh and rested last summer; history repeats. Weekend Fantasy owns speed and could prove very tough on an unchallenged lead. La Pernelle gets the meds for stateside debut; don't ignore.

16 Touch of Revenge(L) 118 Alvarado 2-4-7 Reed 5-2
Princess Malia drops and hails from white-hot Rick Dutrow barn. Chubbalita's Joy was making strong rally before hitting rail and losing rider in turf debut last time; very playable at juicy ticket. Bangzoomtothemoon failed to deliver on sloppy surface last time but could easily rebound with return to grass. St. Jean returns to turf and is riding a forward line on the numbers.
