13 Happy Week(L) 1-4-2 No Rider Pletcher 115 5-2

Quebrada Shiner is a last-race winner that owns closing style that should be well served in deep opener. Stormandaprayer could play out as the speed of the speed in turf debut. Rose Catherine is riding a two-race winning streak; big-time player.

9 Hard Two Imagine(L) 9-x-x Cohen Phipps 119 20-1

10 D' Sauvage(L) 5-2-2 Castellano Kimmel 119 6-1

7 Flying Pegasus(L) 4-2-2 Gomez Nicks 120 8-1

8 Safe Trip(L) 6-3-1 Leparoux Kenneally 116 7-2

Callide Valley was rapid-figued winner in first Spa start; one more before the bounce. Mr. Fantasy owns fast figures but has been idle for more than three months; mixed message. Safe Trip has tangled with Discreetly Mine in last two starts; dangerous.

4

11/16 Miles. (Mellon Turf). 3&up. Claiming $25,000. Purse: $28,000.

1 Solar Panel(L) 9-7-1 Hill Bush 117 20-1

Also Eligible

13 Pagan Ruler(L) 6-1-8 Cohen Barker 123 20-1

14 Time for Tutt(L) 2-1-6 Maragh Allard 117 10-1

Avenging was front-running winner in last and looms the main speed once again. Golly Dolly will be in the garden spot if top selection hits the wall in the lane. Cullinan drops after tough trip in last; price will be tempting.

14 Trackman(L) 6-x-x Lenclud Dodgen 119 15-1

Main Track Only

15 Loquacious(L) 3-5-2 Maragh Albertrani 119 4-1

My Tapit tallied deceptively fast late pace figure in debut last fall and has benefit of rail on tight-turned course; price play. Bellhouse owns sprinter's speed and could play out as the controlling front-runner in turf debut. Doctor Peach returns to grass after firing swift half-mile drill last week; don't ignore. Rock America must be considered if able to escape AE list.

Also Eligible

15 Whistlin' Dixie(L) 6-x-x Velasquez Penna 119 20-1

1a Gallant Dreams(L1) x-x-x Maragh Albertrani 119 8-1

Anthony's Cross made nice recovery after hitting gate and racing wide in debut; more to give. Astrology did the dirty work up front when the beaten favorite in same July 31 dash as top selection; could easily take this. Punster was an ultra-game second in last; big-time player.

9 Solo Piano(L) 4-4-5 Desormeaux Mott 116 10-1

Main Track Only

10 McVictory(L) 2-3-2 Velazquez Pletcher 116 2-1

Fantasia logged three tightly grouped works last month for first start since compromised by wide trip in Just A Game; primed for breakthrough. My Princess Jess gets class relief and has fired two bullet works since Grade I Diana; very dangerous. Be Fair could play out as the controlling speed on the fence; must respect.

8

11/16 Miles. (Mellon Turf). 3&up. NY Bred. Allowance Optional Claiming. Purse: $45,000.

1 Come Undone(L) 10-2-7 Lezcano Serpe 116 8-1

Main Track Only

12 Eire's Run(L) 8-1-5 No Rider Rice 116 4-1

13 Jimmy Vegas(L) 4-2-1 No Rider Rice 120 9-2

Abilio was unfazed by fast fractions when a dominant, front-running winner last time; more to come. Pegasus Tommy D. is fresh and gets confident class boost by Rick Dutrow; very playable. Stormy Success could be in the garden spot if fractions get fast and furious.

7 Furlongs. 3&up. THE FOREGO. (Grade I). Purse: $250,000.

2 Bribon(L) 3-1-5 Gomez Pletcher 124 4-1

9 Checklist(L) 1-4-3 Velazquez Pletcher 124 15-1

10 You and I Forever(L) 3-3-8 Castellano Bush 124 20-1

Omniscent turned the corner on the numbers when winning last two and has worked sharply in the interim; ready for prime time. Godolphin entry: Vineyard Haven owns speed and fast figures and mate Girolamo was is firing bullets for return; potent pairing. Warrior's Reward is training impressively for first start since Memorial Day and is more than good enough on 'A' game. Big Drama earned fast number when second in A G Vanderbilt; must consider.

10

11/8 Miles. 3&up. THE WOODWARD. (Grade I). Purse: $750,000.

1 Convocation(L) 1-2-4 Castellano Jerkens 126 6-1

6 Tranquil Manner(L) 1-5-1 Garcia McLaughlin 126 15-1

7 Mythical Power(L) 5-4-8 Gomez Baffert 126 12-1

Convocation logged three tightly grouped workouts since game win at the distance last time; rail draw seals the deal. Quality Road is a killer on 'A' game, but simply had no excuse last time; your move. Tranquil Manner tallied swift final fraction when winning last; price will be tempting.

15 Jello Shot(L) 5-4-4 No Rider Kelly 122 15-1

16 Marsh Haven(L) 2-10-x Hill Baker 122 12-1

River In The Woods displayed a solid late kick on tirf last fall and is training with a purpose for return. Runaway Jim exits sprints, has an inside post and could secure clear lead with aggressive handling. City Train earned good number when a game second in last; logical player. Whateverittakes logged two crisp half-mile drills since last start; don't ignore.
