13 Think I'm Hooked(L) 116 No Rider 4-8-5 Contessa 12-1

1a Alarmist(L) 121 No Rider 7-1-2 Jacobson 20-1

Barrel Of Love logged only win on Belmont sod and is training consistently for first start since November. Goodtime Boy compiled four eye-catching workouts since ultra-game placing in turf debut last month; could easily take this. Sirtori, a determined winner in last, moves to turf in first start since claimed by potent Drawing Away/David Jacobson tandem. All Class fired half-mile bullet for first start since 154-day layoff; price will be tempting. On dirt:Goodtime Boy, Sirtori, All Class.

1a Crepe Au Sucre(L) 119 Smith 4-1-5 Kelly 12-1

Fiddlers Patriot is 1-for-1 on Belmont turf is working sharply for first start in 213 days; potent layoff barn. Noble's Promise makes peak start of form cycle and owns fast figs on best efforts; very dangerous. Bergerac was game second in Grade 2 Commonwealth at Keeneland; big-time player. Leave Of Absence owns swift dirt numbers. On dirt:Flat Bold, He's So Chic, W.W. Lady's Man.

7 Sweet Moonbeam(L) 119 Espinoza 6-3-2 Serey 5-2

Sweet Moonbeam drops two price levels after being compromised by wide trip in last; can wire these on 'A' game. Dear Elizabeth is fresh and was a determined winner in most recent dirt start; very playable. Born Flirt also returns to dirt and is more than good enough on best efforts.

16 Gramercy(L) 115 Ortiz 7-3-5 Shivmangal 15-1

Indigene Charm holds sharp current form and is from a dam that's produced two turf winners. Kid Wando has run second in last three starts; trend continues? Joburg Star regressed in last after fast-figured fourth in prior; rebound potential. On dirt: Kid Wando.

8 Bobity Boo(L) 121 Luzzi 5-1-1 Sciacca 3-1

Bobity Boo owns two wins and a third in three starts at Belmont and could receive ideal setup in cheap field. Sixty Acres could play out as the main speed with aggressive ride. Skiddles n' Bob was a confident, pace-setting winner in last; very dangerous.

16 She Is a Lioness(L1) 123 No Rider 4-x-x Allard 10-1

Cozy App should pack amplified late kick with cutback to 7 furlongs. Margaret Lilian is speedy and is another that will be aided by today's shorter trip. First Face is improving with each start and will offer fat ticket; very interesting. On dirt: Bandini's Diamond.

2b Digger Karakorum(L) 114 Ortiz 1-1-4 Guerrero 4-1

11 Lincoln Penny(L) 121 Pezua 13-8-4 Ortiz 30-1

Jacobson entry: Winaholic wheels back in hurry after failing to handle slop last week and mate Congo drops to lifetime low; just one goes with Cohen listed on both. Ruffino rings up fast figs with machine-like consistency. Good Law is fresh and owns swift numbers on 'A' game. Digger Karakorum is another that could impact on best; contentious heat.

6 Granby Girl(L) 111 Hernandez 6-2-5 Ortiz 30-1

7 Naughty Or Nice(L) 121 Dominguez 4-1-6 McLaughlin 5-1

Street Mate defeated a next-out winner when a determined victor in last start; close call in smal but competitive field. Heir To Dare logged nothing but fast figs in South Florida; very dangerous. Emma's Encore was riding a two-race winning streak before being overmatched in Grade 2 GP Oaks last time; worth long look.

Main Track Only

12 Reception Point(L1) 118 No Rider x-x-x Levine 5-1

13 Carolina Chant(L) 123 Lezcano 8-9-7 Persaud 15-1

Trickey Guy was done in by wide journey in last and is bred to handle switch to sod. Scrap Dragon gets rider upgrade and surface switch after tough trip in last; big-time danger. Mingunade could wakeup at juicy ticket with return to grass. War Hitch is fleet-footed and should benefit by cutback to sprint.
