7 Convocation(L) 118 Cohen 8-3-8 Jacobson 6-5

8 Budge Man(L) 118 Velasquez 3-2-3 Gonzalez 6-1

Photon earned improved pace figure in last and should be circling back to best final numbers. Trumpet Man owns speed and makes first start for dynamic DAS/Jacobson duo. Convocation, also trained by Jacobson, owns very fast back numbers.

5 W. W.'s Lady's Man(L) 111 Franco 4-3-1 Barker 6-1

6 Al's Lark(L) 118 Velasquez 3-2-3 Jacobson 4-1

Ultimo Principe was a front-running winner in last and projects as the main speed once again. Al's Lark could be in the garden spot if pace meltdown ensues. Catalan is 1-for-1 on inner track and bested top selection by a head on Jan. 10; dangerous.

6 Matt and Jesse(L) 119 Castro 7-3-3 Ortiz 4-1

Quorum owns sprinter's speed and may play out as the controlling front-runner in compact field. Reaganomics is fresh and owns fast figs on 'A' game. Adirondack Express makes first start since claimed by DAS/Jacobson; must consider.

1a Risky Predicament(L) 120 Fragoso 7-6-5 Kelly 7-2

Genteela was compromised by wide trip in debut; forward move predicted. A Prettydixie fired 3-furlong bullet since besting top selection by nearly a length last time; very dangerous. What the Frost is firing bullets for debut for Tony Dutrow; could be the goods.

5 1/2 Furlongs. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Claiming $12,500. Purse: $22,000.

7 Azasecret(L) 121 Castro 8-1-3 Jerkens 10-1

8 Mollie's Prize(L) 116 Coa 3-1-1 Toscano, Jr 4-1

Proud Siren owns sit-and-pounce style that should be well served in probable pace dynamics. She's Gosphel logged wire-to-wire wins in last two; front-end threat once again. Mollie's Prize also is fleet-footed and makes first start since claimed; right in the thick of this.

1a Guyana Queen(L) 111 Franco 5-5-6 Persaud 8-1

8 Fall Into Faith(L) 123 Lezcano 2-5-3 Araya 8-1

Still Shea to Me was sandwiched between next-out winners when a clear-cut second in last; rates close call. Pure Afleet take precipitous price plunge for DAS/Jacobson; fire sale? Fall Into Faith closes and owns competitive numbers on best; must consider.

7 Rocket Hero(L) 120 Ortiz, Jr 1-x-x Levine 3-1

Rocket Hero earned solid final fraction when a last-to-first winner in debut; more to come. Wild Finish tallied top pace and final figs when a determined victor in last; could easily take another. In Harm's Way failed to beat a horse in last but is more than good enough on best.

1a Gee Linz(L) 113 Coa 3-3-3 Persaud 15-1

Sweet Sway won both inner track starts by a combined 21 1/4 lengths; gets hat trick. Untapped Secret makes peak start of form cycle and is the one that must be caught; dangerous. Keep Bustin has yet to taste defeat in three outings; big-time threat.

Also Eligible

1a Devolution(L) 116 Silvera 9-7-6 D'Alessandro 15-1

Sharpandwitty earned top internal and final figures when a clear-cut second in last; close call in weak nightcap. Rocky Field packs late punch and looms the prime beneficiary if fractions get hot and hectic. Signora Sofia also would be aided by front-end meltdown. White Crane compiled swift training tab for debut; follow the money.
