8 Servin Aces(L) 111 Curatolo 8-5-1 Ryerson 15-1

1a There Goes Molly(L) 118 Lezcano 5-5-1 Persaud 5-1

Servin Aces was speed sharpened on turf last time and should be tighter in second start since six-month layoff. Persaud entry: There Goes Molly closes strongly on best and mate Grande Roja was a determined winner in last; interesting coupling. Reproduction owns fast figures and returns to preferred footing; likely favorite.

6 Furlongs. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Maiden Claiming $50,000-$40,000. Purse: $29,000.

1 Poetic Touch 111 Ortiz, Jr 3-x-x Parker 15-1

5 Margo Verge(L) 118 Garcia 3-x-x Hess, Jr 7-2

6 Hopeoverexperience(L1) 118 Cohen x-x-x Violette, Jr 2-1

Margo Verge is training with a purpose for first start since claimed from SoCal debut; rates close call. Haunted Melody displayed improved speed on turf last time and now makes first dirt start with maiden-claiming tag; odds will be tempting. Networking logged fast numbers in all three starts; logical, short-priced player.

5 Easy Gallop(L) 121 Luzzi 5-1-6 Rodriguez 8-1

6 The Zipster(L) 121 Castellano 1-4-1 Brown 2-1

I Ain't No Saint was willing third on turf last time and logged fast final fractions in prior two starts on dirt. The Elevator is riding a three-race winning streak and ships in for crafty Jamie Ness barn; very playable. The Zipster was clear-cut winner for this price in last; dangerous.

9 Joe Corrigan(L) 121 Studart 7-6-1 Ubillo 8-1

1a Almighty Silver(L) 121 Espinoza 5-1-1 Ortiz 20-1

Gimme Credit exits fast-figured score and now makes first start since claimed by Galluscio; more to come. Westside Corral was a convincing winner in last and has yet to deliver poor effort in three starts; big-time player. Shrimp Dancer logged deceptively fast late pace figure in last; don't ignore. On dirt: Mighty Morris, Almighty Silver.

Main Track Only

11 Warrior From Above(L) 118 Studart 9-7-x Ubillo 8-1

Yesterday's Story owns solid turf pedigree and moves to grass in bad field. Lloydobler drops and fired swift 3-furlong work since turf debut last time; should move forward. Deccan Odyssey makes first start with maiden claiming tag; must consider. On dirt: Lloydobler, Yesterday's Story.

9 Loyal Shadow(L) 121 Studart 1-7-3 Sciacca 12-1

Main Track Only

10 Landlash(L) 121 Velazquez 4-4-5 Gyarmati 5-2

Starjetta packs a potent late kick on best efforts and is training with a purpose for first start since November. Freedom Rings gets class relief after being pace compromised in last; dangerous. High Cry was a determined winner in last at Tam and owns win on Belmont sod. Tutti Va Bene makes peak start of form cycle; worth long look. On dirt: Landlash.

12 African King(L) 123 No Rider 1-5-5 Dutrow, Jr 4-1

13 Monte Carlo(L) 123 Dominguez 4-6-8 Violette, Jr 3-1

J J's Prophet wanted no part of the slop last time but returns to turf and should pack amplified kick in field where pace meltdown could ensue. Keechi Bullet was a hard charging second at this level in last; dangerous. Manchild is a two-time winner on Belmont grass and is training with a purpose for first start since January. Dr. W's speed must be respected. On dirt: African King.

6 1/2 Furlongs. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $54,000.

1 Devilish Spirit(L) 121 Cohen 2-1-3 Brown 2-1

2 Honor Hymn(L) 121 Dominguez 3-1-5 Dutrow, Jr 4-1

3 Super Slash 121 Velazquez 4-2-5 Klesaris 5-1

4 Spiteful Gypsy(L) 121 Castellano 2-8-5 Fawkes 6-1

5 Taconic Victory(L) 121 Lezcano 3-1-9 Hennig 9-5

Taconic Victory packs powerful late punch on best and lands in small field with ample speed. Super Slash is fresh and owns fast figures on 'A' game. Devilish Spirit is fleet-footed and should be aided by slight cutback.

14 Our Favorite(L) 113 Ortiz, Jr 3-2-5 Gyarmati 12-1

1x Too Tough Sissy(L1) 118 No Rider x-x-x Asmussen 3-1

Rennina logged improved late pace figure when second in first start with blinkers last time and should have more to give in third start of form cycle. Eden Is Burning tallied fast numbers on turf last summer and is working sharply for return. Bazinga was a late running second in turf debut; right in the thick of this. Soinlovewithuam I failed as the favorite last time but should improve in second start since six-month layoff. On dirt: Superior Sarah, Our Favorite.
