7 Aspire to Silver(L) 5-3-1 Lopez Galluscio 117 6-1

Main Track Only

8 Tar Beach(L) 2-6-2 No Rider Brown 121 3-1

Freshman Dorm closed into hot final fraction when second in last; more to come. Livin Large exits determined placing in last; dangerous. New Yawker was less than a length behind 'Large' after tough trip last time; right in the thick of this.

6 Furlongs. Claiming $7,500. 3&up. Purse: $20,000.

1 Morine's Victory(L) 5-6-3 Santiago Terracciano 121 10-1

2 Four Star General(L) 8-5-2 Studart Lostritto 121 15-1

3 O'Kid(L) 5-1-4 Cohen Jacobson 121 7-5

4 Karakorum On Black(L) 4-2-1 Lezcano Odintz 121 5-1

5 My Daddio(L) 7-6-3 Rodriguez Toscano 114 2-1

6 Wollaston Bay(L) 6-7-6 Lopez Sciacca 114 8-1

My Daddio sheds the blinkers and gets class relief in suspect field. O'Kid takes precipitous drop and returns to dirt; damaged goods? Karakorum On Black can contend on best efforts.

3

1 Mile. Claiming $15,000. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $23,000.

1 Adam Boy(L) 7-4-5 Espinoza Ferraro 117 15-1

4 Relatively Ready(L) 5-7-8 Lopez Donk 121 7-2

5 Elder Skatesman(L) 3-8-7 Lezcano Allyn 121 8-1

6 Five Cases(L) 7-3-4 Santiago Gyarmati 121 4-1

7 Merlin Bay(L) 4-1-5 Lezcano Albertrani 117 1-1

Five Boroughs dons the shades after speed sharpened in sprint return; controlling front-runner. Merlin Bay has logged solid numbers in all three starts; likely chalk. Elder Skatesman would be aided by hot fractions; price will be tempting.

4

6 Furlongs. Starters Allowance. 3&up. Purse: $30,000.

2 Rapid Mon(L) 1-5-1 Rodriguez Terracciano 114 7-2

3 Show Trial(L) 1-5-9 Hill Sacco 117 20-1

4 Wicked Climb(L) 3-1-6 Lezcano Rodriguez 120 2-1

5 Unbridled Danger(L) 2-6-4 Lopez Young 120 6-1

1a More Than a Reason(L) 2-6-1 Cohen Persaud 120 6-5

Wicked Climb is fresh, owns fast figures and hails from Rudy Rodriguez barn. Persaud entry: Marina Market was compromised by poor start in last and mate More Than a Reason closes strongly on best; potent pairing. Rapid Mon bested a next-out winner when taking last; must consider.

5

1 1/16 Mile. (Widener Turf). Starters Allowance. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $42,000.

1 Hooked On Hope(L) 5-5-1 Cohen Tagg 121 5-2

8 Exclusive Scheme(L) 4-6-6 Lezcano Badgett 121 5-1

Main Track Only

9 Conga Bella(L) 3-2-1 No Rider Dutrow 117 3-1

Unique Citizen logged fast final fraction when a determined winner in last; pairs up. Bearursa switches to sod after handy score last month; razor-sharp and very playable. Upper Gulch will be aided by cutback to shorter trip; don't ignore.

1 Dark Cheetah(L) 6-9-4 Espinoza Odintz 123 20-1

8 Golden Man(L) 6-9-4 Lopez Arroyo 116 20-1

9 Call Tiger(L) 2-5-5 Lezcano Hernandez 123 4-1

King Bo Bo makes first start since claimed by crafty Chip Dutrow stable; breakthrough predicted. Missile is rested, training sharply and could play out as the main speed; big-time threat. Always On The Move will pack amplified late kick with turnback to 6 furlongs. C T Chimes owns fast figures on best efforts.

1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf). Claiming $25,000. 3&up. Purse: $26,000.

Main Track Only

12 Rasher(L) 5-3-4 Lezcano Dutrow 117 2-1

Millennium Jet was compromised by wide trip in last and deserves another chance at fat price. Verveitup logged fast late pace figure when a hard fought second in last; dangerous. Golly Day (just head behind top selection on June 19) and Nobody Like Mike (pair of swift half-mile works since last race) are two more contenders in wide-open heat.

8

9 Mustang Island(L) 3-2-1 Cohen Clement 120 7-2

Main Track Only

10 Prix de Karakorum(L) 1-8-4 Lezcano Odintz 116 6-1

Victorious Leader logged clear-cut score when receiving Lasix again on June 26 and owns ideal stalker's style in bulky field; more to give. Conflicted has trained strongly since game placing behind streaking rival last month; very playable. Mustang Island earned fast number in all three turf starts; right in the thick of this.

6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf). The JAIPUR. (Grade III). 3&up. Purse: $200,000.

1 Yield Bogey(L) 1-7-7 Samyn Kelly 118 6-1

2 Dubai Rainbow(L) 4-2-1 Hill McLaughlin 118 10-1

3 Escrow Kid(L) 6-2-1 Santiago Doran 113 15-1

4 Stradivinsky(L) 1-1-1 Lopez Dutrow 118 2-1

5 Formidable(L) 4-4-1 Lezcano Jerkens 118 9-5

6 Our Friend Harvey(L) 3-7-4 Espinoza Hills 118 10-1

7 Perfect Officer 4-8-3 Cohen Weaver 118 5-1

Formidable returns to turf after pressing fast fractions and paying the price last time; pair of bullet works in the interim seals the deal. Perfect Officer fired half-mile bullet since late-running fourth at Mth last out; dangerous. Stradivinsky is fresh, fleet-footed and working with a purpose for Rick Dutrow; big-time player.

10

7 Furlongs. (Widener Turf). Maiden Claiming $25,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $22,000.

1 Besa Me Por Favor(L) 5-6-7 Lopez Parker 111 30-1

2 Awedacious Caren(L) 11-7-6 Husbands Garofalo 123 20-1

3 Disarming(L) 5-x-x Lezcano Duggan 123 8-1

7 Smarty Sister(L) 3-4-6 Santiago Lobo 118 9-2

8 Indian Flirt(L) 9-x-x Lopez Brown 118 12-1

9 Officer Flirt(L) 2-2-2 Cohen Contessa 123 3-1

10 Soo's Purse(L) 5-6-3 Bermudez Alvarez 123 15-1

11 Princess Cugat(L1) x-x-x Lezcano Jerkens 118 8-1

Main Track Only

12 Royalstraightflush(L) 3-3-9 Corujo Kelly 111 7-2

Blazing Honor tallied swift late pace figure when a willing third in last and should possess intensified kick with cutback to 7 furlongs. Officer Flirt has finished second (twice as the favorite) in last three starts; logical player. Soo's Purse adds blinkers after tough-trip fifth in last; price will be tempting. Awedacious Caren's speed gives her a puncher's chance.
