6 Chain Mover(L) 4-2-4 Serpa Ryerson 118 5-2

Known Gambler tallied solid final fraction on dirt two starts back and makes first outing with maiden claiming tag today; close call in contentious heat.

1 Mile. Claiming $50,000-$40,000. 3yo. Fillies. Purse: $46,000.

4 Market Collapse(L) 6-2-1 Castellano Violette 118 4-1

5 Next Exit(L) 3-6-1 Dominguez Trombetta 118 4-1

Little Miss Macho owns sprinter's speed and adds blinkers and could play out as the controlling front-runner in small field. Next Exit gets class relief and makes peak start of form cycle; big-time player. Market Collapse could easily take this on 'A' game; don't ignore.

7 D'bigcat(L) 5-1-6 Castellano Weaver 117 7-2

Eagle Strike broke maiden in key race last out and should have more to give in second start since November. D'bigcat needed last and could formidable as the main speed today. Le Bonne Vie owns competitive figures on best efforts.

8 Sweetsouthernheart(L) 8-x-x Espinoza Schettino 122 30-1

The West Rim tallied swift late pace figure in last and should have more to give in third start since five-month absence. Pearly Blue drops and returns to turf; more than good enough on 'A' game. Cranberry Queen makes peak start of form cycle; don't ignore.

8 Blue Hill Bay(L) 6-4-3 Lezcano Everett 121 7-2

Main Track Only

9 Gia Nina(L) 1-3-7 Cohen Klesaris 121 2-1

Blue Hill Bay exits two routes since starting new form cycle and should possess intensified wallop at sprint. Storm Gal attended fast fractions in last and could play out as the dominant front-runner with aggressive handling. Southside Babe fired crisp 3-furlong drill since willing fourth in last; right in the thick of this.

10 Fortunate Run(L) 4-2-7 No Rider Chatterpaul 117 15-1

Dantastic logged three sharp works since late running third in last; primed for best in second start since seven-month layoff. Dutrow entry: Keeping the Honor made middle move and flattened in last and mate Concert Stage logged fast late pace figure in last; just one goes with Castellano listed on both. Sydney Road tallied two of three lifetime wins on Belmont sod and owns fast figures on best; big-time threat.

1 Mile. (Widener Turf). Maiden Claiming $35,000-$25,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $24,000.

1 Chantilly G.(L) 7-x-x Lezcano Rice 118 8-1

8 Doo Woppa Do(L) 7-7-7 Hill Toner 123 6-1

9 Maux Money(L) 6-11-7 Maragh Penna 118 7-2

Doo WoopaDo faced males in last and now makes first turf start with maiden claiming tag and cuts back to more manageable distance; weakness of field is selection's strength. Crimson Tempest has picked up her game since moving to Belmont sod; very playable. Jazzy Moves owns a running style and pedigree that should be aided by switch to grass; dangerous. Golden Grove was victimized by tough trip in last and now makes first start for capable connections; very interesting.
