7 Good Luck Gus(L) 122 Rosario 1-4-1 Rodriguez 3-1

Bullheaded Boy adds blinkers after chasing swift splits last out; better price of the two Pletcher runners? Ostrolenka tallied swift late pace and final figs when a dominant maiden winner last out; very dangerous. Good Luck Gus was an easy winner in last and has yet to take a backward step on the numbers.

9 Temper Mint Patty(L) 122 Ortiz, Jr 1-1-x Romans 8-5

Quezon notched rapid final fraction when a dominant winner in debut; more to come. Hard to Stay Notgo could play out as the main speed on a soft lead. Lady Bling makes dirt debut and could be aided by pace meltdown. Temper Mint Patty has yet to taste defeat in two starts; right in the thick of this.

7 Saturday Appeal(L) 118 No Rider 2-5-2 Schosberg 3-1

Kharafa compiled three tight works since even third in last; forward move predicted. Lubash bested top selection by four lengths when a hard-charging winner last time; big-time player. King Kreesa is speedy and will prove very tough on a soft lead.

9 Champagne Ruby(L) 122 Rice 4-1-7 Rice 20-1

Willet owns field's fastest final fractions on 'A' efforts. La Verdad is the one that must be caught. Risky Rachel fired two half-mile bullets for first start in 58 days; must consider.

15 Navy Blue(L) 120 No Rider 3-9-5 Contessa 10-1

16 Touch of Paradise(L1) 120 No Rider 4-7-x Albertrani 7-2

Brother O'Connell was pace and trip compromised last time; forward move predicted. Ode to the Hunt bested top selection by two lengths when a hard-charging second last time; two half-mile bullets add to the appeal. Foxhall Drive is fleet-footed and must be factored into the mix if able to escape AE list. No Texting gets blinkers/Lasix makeover and should improve in second start.

1a Awesome Vision(L) 118 Alvarado 5-3-4 Albertrani 6-1

So Lonesome has trained strongly since fast-figured score 55 days ago; call based on price. Sioux has won last two starts by a combined 15 lengths; very dangerous. Sinistra was an even third in last but packs a potent late kick on best efforts.

15 Devious Maddy(L) 117 Rosario 1-3-4 Gyarmati 30-1

Old Harbor upped record to 2-for-4 on Belmont turf when a determined winner in last; more to give. Discreet Marq gets class relief and owns fast final figures; very dangerous. One Time Only owns speed and should be favorably positioned in big field.

11 Crafty Dreamer(L) 115 Davis 1-5-5 Iselin 20-1

Noble Cornerstone tallied career best late pace figure when winning last and owns ideal stalker's style. Big Business consistently logs swift numbers and should pack enhanced kick with cutback to sprint. Crafty Dreamer notched two endurance-building works since late-surging score in last; price will be tempting.

Runaway Posse tallied swift final fraction in lone turf start and logged three sharp works at Fair Hill in the interim. Manoffire notched fast late pace number in debut on GP sod; very playable. Spider Roll's late-running third on Polytrack at Pid bodes well for switch to sod. Junger is speedy and rested; don't dismiss.
