8 Morine's Victory(L) 3-5-1 Studart Terracciano 122 15-1

9 Gimmearoutine(L) 4-2-5 Hill Barbara 121 6-1

Gimmearoutine closed into hot final fraction when making wide move in last; rates close call in contentious opener. Idaho Joe gets price cut in half after clear-cut victory in last; damaged goods? Jacobson entry: Timber Cruise was a determined winner at this level in last and mate Wolfson is fresh and owns fast figures.

5 Zio Tony(L1) x-x-x Saez Hushion 120 6-1

6 Mohaagem(L1) x-x-x Hill McLaughlin 120 3-1

Devonshire is training impressively for first start since Labor Day; needs help up front. Showmanship adds blinkers and starts from the fence; potential main speed. Zio Tony debuts for Hushion; dangerous if the money shows.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Special Weight. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $40,000.

1 Victoria Lynn(L) 2-4-2 Migliore Friedman 116 9-5

6 Oeuf a La Neige(L1) x-x-x Lopez Parker 116 20-1

7 Remark(L) 8-3-2 Luzzi McLaughlin 116 2-1

Splitting Heirs chased fast fractions last time and logged two half-mile works in the interim; controlling front-runner with aggressive handling. Victoria Lynn logged top-figured second in last; big-time threat. Saint Amore ships up from south Florida and switches back to dirt; worth long look.

4

11/8 Mile. The LADIES. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $100,000.

1 Quiet Mover(L) 6-1-3 Saez Barker 117 10-1

4 Tidal Dance(L) 1-2-1 Hill Hushion 121 8-5

5 Love's Blush(L) 2-1-4 Dunkelberger Jenkins 121 5-2

Tidal Dance compiled string of endurance building drills since fast-figured win in Affectionetly Handicap; primed and ready. Love's Blush packs a potent late kick on best efforts. Weathered is right in the thick of this on 'A' game.

11/16 Mile. Maiden Special Weight. 3yo. NY Bred. Purse: $39,000.

1 Leatherhead(L) 7-2-3 Lezcano Ubillo 121 9-2

1a Adirondack Warrior(L) 7-2-3 Lopez Ubillo 114 9-2

9 Duke of Naples(L) 4-3-x Migliore Levine 121 5-2

Adirondack Warrior bounced last time after fast-figured placing in prior; rebounds today. Duke Of Naples has trained consistently since failing as the favorite in last; must overcome tough post. Storiesinthedark earned deceptively fast late pace figure when a tough-trip sixth in debut; don't ignore.

6 Furlongs. Allowance Optional Claiming. 4&up. Purse: $44,000.

1 The Roundhouse(L) 3-6-5 Jara Pletcher 118 5-2

7 Gridiron(L) 1-6-6 Hill Terranova, II 123 10-1

1a Mister Triester(L) 3-2-4 Luzzi Levine 118 5-2

Pay in Kind notched three tightly grouped works this month for first start since Jan. 21; logged four of five wins on inner track. Valid Sum earned improved pace and final numbers when a clear-cut winner in last; very dangerous. Have You Ever will prove very tough on a soft lead. The Roundhouse will pack intensified punch with cutback to sprint; right in the thick of this.

1 Golden Man(L) 4-7-9 Santiago Arroyo 123 8-1

8 Packer(L) 8-7-7 Corujo Jeannont 116 50-1

9 Commissioner Chris(L) 6-8-5 Musarro Persaud 118 10-1

Golden Man makes peak start of form cycle after tallying swift internal numbers in last; sitting on big effort. Kamboo Man has been idle since Nov. 13, but owns speed and fast on best; must respect. Commissioner Chris could be the prime beneficiary if pace meltdown ensues.

6 Furlongs. Claiming $15,000. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $17,000.

1 Flo's Honor(L) 6-9-10 Bocachica Iselin 122 12-1

8 Brendan's Warrior(L) 8-7-5 Phillips McGillycuddy 122 15-1

9 I'm Hooked Up(L) 7-7-1 Santiago Callejas 116 12-1

Fortune Faded logged only career win on inner track and is fresh and shows three closely grouped works for first start in two months. Gargantua owns a profile (fresh, only win inner strip) that's strikingly similar to top selection; dangerous. Odessa's Hope is another rested runner that tallied only lifetime win on inner surface; big-time player.

10 American Land(L) 2-6-5 Lopez Ubillo 115 15-1

1a Way to Karakorum(L) 3-2-2 Studart Odintz 122 3-1

Sweet Venom gets class relief after posting sharp internal figures in stakes last time and logged three sharp works in the interim; breakthrough predicted. No More Stress has earned fast final figures in all three starts; very dangerous. Sister's Speed owns competitive numbers on best.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $25,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. NY Bred. Purse: $19,000.

10 Money's Sweet(L) 5-2-x Napravnik Rice 116 7-2

11 Mariah Scary(L1) x-x-x Chavez Galluscio 116 10-1

Mariah Scary compiled sneaky-good work tab and debuts in less than stellar group. Fair Lady Olivia has finished second at short odds in last two; trend continues? Classy Jet is speedy and adds blinkers; must respect. Soo's Purse would benefit from hot fractions.
