9 After the Bell 118 Maragh x-x-x Albertrani 12-1
10 Mr. Beer Goggles(L) 113 Camacho, Jr 4-5-5 Persaud 30-1
Wild Target is training with a purpose for first start in 70 days and owns favorable sit-and-pounce style. Unbridled Fire also is working sharply and could prove very tough on soft lead. Love To Run was second by a pole last out; right in the thick of this.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Maiden Claiming $20,000. NY Bred. Purse: $28,000.

8 Ecstatic Cat(L) 117 Garcia 10-12-4 Serey 5-2
9 Sheridan Square(L) 118 Napravnik 3-6-3 Hertler 3-1
Pegasus Papou has had 32 chances but should pack intensified late kick in weak field. Sheridan Square could play out as the dominant speed. Ecstatic Cat owns very fast figs on best efforts.

2 Forward March(L) 118 Castro 3-6-1 McGaughey III 10-1

1 Cold Cast 118 Velasquez 1-x-x Albertrani 12-1
1a Sensor(L) 122 Velasquez 1-6-x Albertrani 12-1
Forward March was pace and trip compromised in most recent and fired swift half-mile drill last Sunday. Stirred Up gets class relief after failing as the the fave in Grade 2 Jerome last out. Street Brawl was a clear-cut winner in debut; must consider.

10 Coronation Day(L) 122 Castro 3-5-9 Weaver 5-2
11 Wishingonadream(L) 122 Lezcano 9-7-5 DiSanto 30-1
Coronation Day was a useful third in last and shoul have more to give in second start since seven-month absence. Pin logged both career wins on Belmont sod; big-time player. Corofin is speedy and owns fast dirt figs; must respect. Saturday At Ten looms the prime beneficiary if pace meltdown ensues.

1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf). 3&up. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $81,000.
2 Colgan's Chip(L) 121 Velasquez 9-7-7 Dutrow 12-1

Main Track Only
11 Malibu Glow(L) 121 No Rider 8-1-8 Weaver 2-1
1a Those Wer The Days (L) 121 Castro 1-1-1 McLaughlin 5-2
Sky Blazer logged three sharp works since notching swift final fraction when an even fourth in last; more to come. Colgan's Chip has been on the bench for more than a year but is training strongly for return and hails from potent layoff stable (Tony Dutrow); very dangerous. Bad Debt was a four-length victor on Atlantic City sod last time and has history of winning races in bunches; dangerous.

1 1/16 Mile. (Widener Turf). 3&up. Maiden Special Weight. Purse: $75,000.
1 Imperial Eagle(L1) 118 Velasquez x-x-x Clement 8-1

11 Ur(L) 118 Maragh 2-2-3 Shuman 10-1
Main Track Only
12 Desert Storm(L) 118 No Rider 2-3-3 Mott 6-5
13 Grandpa Len(L) 118 No Rider 2-7-7 Donk 6-1
Fact is fresh and consistently logs field's fastest final fractions. Night Site was a very game second in first turf outing and has trained sharply in the interim; very playable. Native Wave was much-improved second in last and could play out as the controlling speed in turf debut.

6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf). Allowance. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. NY Bred. Purse: $57,000.

11 Sparks Will Fly(L) 116 Smith 1-2-3 Englehart 4-1
12 Flea Flicker(L) 116 Castro 1-2-2 McLaughlin 10-1
Main Track Only
13 Tapitude(L) 121 No Rider 4-1-3 Brown 4-1
14 Golden Galaxy(L) 121 No Rider 6-1-x Schettino 7-2
Stray Bullet unleashed sustained rally en route to clear-cut score this course and trip last out; razor-sharp current condition is key. Schillerette makes first start for Rudy Rodriguez and packs strong late kick on best; very dangerous. Scat's Lassie is 1-for-1 on Belmont sod; right in the thick of this.

5 Law Enforcement(L) 123 Garcia 1-2-5 Hennig 5-1
6 Mine Over Matter(L) 123 Maragh 1-2-6 Hushion 7-2
Mine Over Matter fired half-mile bullet since tallying swift final final fraction when a last-to-first winner in most recent; rates close call. Saginaw as logged fast numbers while winning four straight; could easily take another. Law Enforcement is rested and more than good enough on 'A' game.

14 Late Starter(L) 118 Napravnik 3-3-6 Dutrow, Jr 2-1
15 Le Grand Artiste(L) 118 Castro 2-2-5 Matz 5-1
Willy Pay has drilled three times since late-running fifth on dirt last time; return to grass plays to strength. Hardrocker didn't deliver best on Keeneland's Polytrack but owns fast turf numbers; dangerous. Power Emblem was a fast-figured second on GP grass two starts back; big-time threat. Rangey is riding an improving line on the numbers; right in the thick of this.
