10 Book(L) 6-5-1 Velasquez Callejas 121 12-1

Never Give Up dons blinkers and projects as the main speed with aggressive ride. Next Day never got involved on turf last time, but drop and owns fast dirt figures; big-time player. Bridge to Nowhere makes first start since moving to white-hot Rudy Rodriguez barn; very dangerous.

8 Fantastic Lisa(L) 11-8-2 Velazquez Walder 120 4-1

9 Diva in Training(L) 4-1-2 Prado Rodriguez 121 3-1

Lilly of Paradise logged crisp half-mile drill since tough-trip placing in last; gets nice setup in probable pace dynamics. Fantastic Lisa drops to lifetime low and returns to dirt for dangerous Peter Walder barn; very playable. Diva in Training wheels back in a hurry and drops after failing as the favorite on Wednesday; must consider.

1a Stratford Hill(L1) x-x-x Castellano Albertrani 118 5-1

6 Kells Blues(L) 4-x-x Cohen Jerkens 118 3-1

Enclosure showed late interest in debut at GP and fired swift half-mile drill last week; rates close call based on price potential. Kells Blues, another that's trained sharply since first outing, adds blinkers for potent second-out stable; very playable. Lloydobler was an ultra-game second behind a perfect-trip winner in last, but shows light work tab for first start in 35 days; mixed message.

Main Track Only

15 Titletown Tiger(L) 3-3-4 Gracia O'Brien 113 10-1

16 Whateverittakes(L) 4-2-2 Dominguez Schosberg 118 2-1

Desenfrenado earned swift late pace figure when a hard charging second in debut at Tampa and now makes first start versus NY breds. El Matador, another that faces Empire breds for first time, owns top-shelf turf pedigree and should be favorably positioned near the front; very playable. Belongs to Sheila moves to grass and gets rider upgrade; worth long look at long price.

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

15 Margaro(L) 8-6-8 Lopez Sciacca 115 30-1

16 Marie's Babe x-x-x Rodriguez Lotruglio 111 20-1

Spiritual Tune drops to lifetime low, switches back to sod and should offer generous odds; weakness of field is selection's strength. Tidal Slam is riding an improving line on the numbers and makes grass debut for McLaughlin; big-time player. Olive Eye turns back to shorter trip after facing pricier on GP turf; right in the thick of this.

11 Gimmearoutine(L) 5-2-4 Santiago Contessa 121 8-1

1a Wolfson(L) 5-1-6 Cohen Jacobson 121 7-2

Mr. Bourbon Street is fresh and rested and could play out as the speed of the speed in bottom level claimer. Super Shape takes suspicious plunge after soundly defeating pricer in last; your move. Dakota Dunes, another precipitous dropper, is more than good enough on 'A' game; nice time to take lunch break.

10 Spencerific(L) 4-6-4 Velazquez Cedano 123 8-1

11 Muy Guapo(L) 4-2-x Santiago Hernandez 123 5-1

Audies Champ adds blinkers and barn reaches for go-to rider after slow start in debut; 5-furlong work last Sunday seals the deal. Virtues Under Fire drops and goes turf to dirt and long to short; logical, short-priced player. Spencerific logged improved pace figure in last and closes strongly on best efforts; don't ignore.

Main Track Only

14 Fortyninegeorgest.(L) 1-1-1 No Rider Imperio 121 3-1

Eire's Run was a dominant winner on dirt in last and now returns to turf in first start since claimed by Linda Rice; controlling speed. Quiet On the Tee consistently logged swift late pace figures last year and will be the prime beneficiary if top selection hits the wall in the lane. Gamblin Fever notched his only lifetime win on the Belmont sod; don't ignore.

11/8 Mile. The DWYER. Grade II. 3yo. Purse: $200,000.

6 Codoy(L) 5-2-12 Velasquez Hubley 116 15-1

7 Fly Down(L) 9-1-1 Lezcano Zito 116 7-2

Remand tallied swift pace number when a tough-trip third in Bay Shore and looms the dominant speed in Dwyer that's light on front-runners. Drosselmeyer was third in Louisiana Derby and owns fast figures and potent late kick; short price is the knock. Turf Melody regressed in Illinois Derby after fast-figured fourth in Gotham; rebound potential.

14 Abilio(L) 1-7-x Hill Rice 116 7-2

15 C'Est Qui Ton Pere(L) 1-4-1 Cohen Galluscio 116 5-1

Ezzy has trained sharply since setting pressured pace in key race last time; main speed on sod. Mustang Island was a clear-cut winner in lone turf start last fall and should pack ampliifed kick at 6 furlongs; very playable. Joey's Chance logged his lone victory on the Belmont grass last spring; right in the thick of this. Strategic Move is firing bullets for return and owns turf breeding on both sides of pedigree; must respect.
