Best Bet: CRYO (2); Best Value: SERIFOS (8)

FIRST: Freydis the Red was a non-stressful fourth in debut; gets call if able to escape AE list. Xigeria was a game second in first start; dangerous. Clever Joke debuts for Chad Brown; no laughing matter.

SECOND: Cryo could be ideally positioned in the stalker's seat. Bold Victory runs late and would be aided by fast fractions. Endowed has the benefit of the rail at two turns.

THIRD: Thismightbetheone should be favorably placed near the front in turf dash. Stuck on Kitten could be the prime beneficiary if pace meltdown ensues. Mispelled Mooon owns three seconds and a third from six starts; another minor award?

FOURTH: Order of Magnitude is training strongly and adds blinkers for first start since January; breakthrough predicted. Abundant Honor, another on sidelines since January, was second in key race in that outing. Cloud Forest should move forward with return to dirt.

FIFTH: Shawdyshawdyshawdy packs field's most potent late kick. Irwin was done in by pace pressure last time; very interesting. Hidden Enemy makes third start of form cycle; don't ignore.

SIXTH: High Class was given speed-and-fade tightener in debut won by tons-the-best runner; improvement expected. Soledad compiled strong work slate; stay tuned to the tote. The Great Maybe is another newcomer that's training with a purpose; tough betting contest.

SEVENTH: Cinderella's Cause fell victim to scorching splits last time; softer flow predicted. Freedomofthepress was a change-of-pace fourth in last; worth long look. High School Crush is fresh and working consistently; right in the thick of this.

EIGHTH: Serifos overcame slow fractions and tough trip when a dominant winner at Delaware last out; pairs up. Legends Can't Die was a fast-figured, front-running winner on Spa sod last time; very playable. Fluid Situation owns fast back numbers; intriguing.

NINTH: Obligatory consistently logs field's fastest late-pace figures. Bella Sofia is speedy and strictly the one to catch. Ce Ce is more than good enough on "A" efforts.

TENTH: Matt Doyle gets the meds and moves to turf; fires big shot. Be There gets rider upgrade after displaying improved speed in last; dangerous. Super Quality has finished second in last two; must consider. Java Buzz is another that consistently hits the board; be no surprise.
