9 Willet(L) 117 Maragh 3-2-1 Iselin 8-1

Miss Valentine packs solid late kick on best and could be aided by pace meltdown. Agave Kiss is the one that must be caught. Risky Rachel could easily take this on best efforts.

1a Ali's Winner(L) 115 Garcia 3-5-3 Schwartz 10-1

Pinball logged swift late pace fig in dirt debut and is bred to handle switch to sod. Prime Devil has finished second in last two starts; continues trend? Knock Quietly is 0-for-27 but exits fast-figured placing in last; must consider.

16 Sing to Me(L) 120 Lopez 11-10-x Ferraro 20-1

The Lady Says Yes was a solid second when favored in debut. Group Therapy raced wide in debut and should be aided by today's added ground. Jazzington could benefit from switch to sod and longer trip; price will be tempting. A Prettydixie is improving with each start.

13 Slot Play(L) 115 Rosario 2-1-x Terranova 12-1

14 Smooth Bert(L) 115 Alvarado 1-2-3 Gyarmati 15-1

Slot Play is training sharply for first start since change-of-pace placing in last. Weekend Hideaway bested top selection by five lengths on Aug. 29 but 7-furlong trip could be stumbling block. In Harm's Way was a two-move second in FL stakes last out; dangerous.

8 Dr Disco(L) 121 Luzzi 7-1-7 Brown 12-1

Mine Over Matter is fresh, training with a purpose and packs potent late kick on best. Saginaw logs fast figs with machine-like consistency; could easily take this. Shrewd One is more than good enough on 'A' game.

15 Ginger Snapit(L) 121 Castro 4-3-4 Weaver 4-1

Gitchee Goomie makes peak start of form cycle and logs swift final fractions on 'A' game. Hessonite reunites with Dominguez and will be aided by shorter trip. Mystic City logged three of four wins on Belmont sod; don't dismiss.

12 Matchmadeinheaven 122 Lezcano 1-1-x Englehart 8-1

Agilion regressed in last after pairing up fast numbers in first two starts; rebounds. Kelli Got Frosty demolished a maiden field by 14 lengths last out; very dangerous. Cooper Bluff was a determined winner the first time she touched Belmont loam; very interesting.

7 Saxophone Len(L) 115 Lezcano 1-1-3 Hushion 15-1

8 Lunar Victory(L) 122 Alvarado 2-1-1 Mott 8-5

Saratoga Snacks notched swift late pace figure when winning fourth straight last time and fired half-mile bullet in the interim. Lunar Victory was a tough-trip second in last; be no surprise. Jacobson entry: Big Business is 2-for-2 at Belmont and mate Fiddlers Afleet was pace compromised in last; potent pairing.

14 Beautyinthepulpit(L) 120 Lezcano 1-5-5 Brown 9-5

Unbridled Command compiled four, tightly grouped 5-furlong works since earning fast final fraction when winning Saranac last month; more to come. Lubash is riding a two-race winning streak; big-time danger. Karakorum Legend is speedy and makes peak start of form cycle; worth long look. Compliance Officer has made a career out of winning NY-bred stakes; right in the thick of this.
