7 Justleavemealone(L) 121 Montalvo 5-1-5 Badgett, Jr 3-1

Glacier Bay notched solid late pace figure when winning first outing on Big A turf and now makes first start since claimed by Bruce Levine. One Note Samba has won four in a row and could play out as the dominant speed; very dangerous. War Hoot drops and owns fast figures, but Chad Brown barn has struggled mightily since Saratoga.

10 True Linnet(L) 120 Smith 5-6-6 Aquilino 10-1
Merlin Bay flashed brief speed in last and should move forward in second start since two-month layoff. Prince Dubai would be aided by pace meltdown; price will be tempting. Deflationary Fears was a fast-figured winner on the inner track last winter. Storm Island is riding a forward line on the numbers.
