6 Peggy Jane(L) 122 Maragh 4-4-3 Brown 2-1
7 Schillerette(L) 122 Saez 3-2-1 Ness 3-1
Schillerette packs a potent late kick on 'A' game and should receive ideal setup in contentious opener. Read the Research is fleet-footed and will prove very tough on a soft lead. Guyana Princess could impact if pace meltdown ensues.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Claiming $16,000. 3&up. Purse: $26,000.
1 Goldcraft(L) 118 Luzzi 7-7-9 Gyarmati 12-1
2 Purple Pico(L) 117 Tomas 8-5-8 O'Brien 30-1
3 Go to the Net(L) 124 Ortiz 11-4-12 Sciacca 15-1
4 Change At Jamaica(L) 111 Franco 9-4-4 Antonucci 10-1
5 Cepheus(L) 124 Saez 4-2-x Quartarolo 4-1

9 Acro's Game(L1) 118 Maragh x-x-x Persaud 15-1
10 Harry Consolidator(L) 114 Hiraldo 5-8-7 Shivmangal 50-1
Curve Ball owns field's fastest figs but has been sidelined for 217 days; must take the good with the bad. Awesome Bid closes and fired 3-furlong bullet drill since last start; very interesting. Change At Jamaica is speedy and will be aided by return to dirt; don't overlook.

7 Furlongs. The TRIPPI. 3yo. Purse: $85,000.
1 Whiskey Romeo(L) 122 Velasquez 6-1-1 Dutrow 2-1
2 Primary Focus(L) 118 Maragh 1-8-4 Persaud 20-1
3 Rubysandpearls(L) 122 Saez 7-1-3 Jacobson 8-1
4 Glowing Ember(L) 118 Cohen 1-1-2 Contessa 3-1
5 Purple Egg(L) 122 Lezcano 9-1-1 Cibelli 5-2
6 New Line(L) 118 Alvarado 1-2-4 Mott 4-1
New Line logged fast late pace figure when besting a next-out winner en route to convincing maiden score last month at Tam; more to come. Purple Egg was overmatched in Tam Derby last time but has trained strongly in the interim and must be given a long look at generous price. Whiskey Romeo is fresh and could easily lead small field from start to finish.

7 Furlongs. Claiming $15,000. 3&up. Fillies and Mares. Purse: $28,000.
3 So Fashion(L) 115 Franco 7-6-6 Jerkens 12-1
1 Boldchildsrevenge(L) 116 Maragh 6-6-8 Persaud 9-5

6 Blue Sixty Four(L) 115 Tomas 6-4-4 O'Brien 8-1
2b Pure Afleet(L) 118 Velasquez 1-6-5 Jacobson 6-5
7 Miss Silver Birch(L) 117 Coa 3-4-6 DiSanto 5-1
1a Guyana Star(L) 118 Maragh 1-1-4 Persaud 9-5
Jacobson entry: Pure Afleet was a clear-cut maiden winner in last and mate Go Olivia Go makes quick return after third on Big A turf on Sunday. Persaud entry: Guyana Star is riding a two-race winning streak and mate Boldchildsrevenge is a front-running threat on best; just one goes with Maragh listed on both. Miss Silver Birch tallied improved final fraction in last; price will be tempting.

Also Eligible
13 Out of Your Mind(L) 122 Castro 10-8-10 Sciacca 30-1
14 Holy Endeavor(L) 116 Ortiz 8-3-5 Ward 4-1
Suilleabhain notched clear-cut maiden score in last and owns solid turf numbers; pairs up. Fly Ride was a fast-figured winner on Belmont sod last fall; very playable. Big City Boy has wakeup potential in first turf start since moving to Jason Servis stable.

1 Mile. Claiming $30,000-$25,000. 3&up. Purse: $36,000.
1 Shertzer(L) 122 Ortiz, Jr 5-2-2 Barbara 5-1
2 Vee's Accolade(L) 122 Lezcano 3-4-5 Rodriguez 8-5

7 Harley(L) 122 Luzzi 3-6-3 Gyarmati 6-1
8 In Todd We Trust(L) 114 Castellano 3-3-1 Jacobson 4-1
Vee's Accolade returns to selling ranks after tallying improved pace figure in last; rates close call. Shertzer was done in by disastrous start in last and logged pair of 5-furlong works in the interim; very dangerous. Yo Blue compiled three sharp works since determined maiden score last month; right in the thick of this.

Main Track Only
15 Ultimate Empire(L) 118 No Rider 7-3-2 Albertrani 6-1
16 Fiona's Hero(L) 118 Luzzi 3-4-x Schettino 5-1
Everydoghashisday logged six, stamina-building 5-furlong workouts since last start and tallied solid final fraction in lone outing on Belmont turf; primed and ready. Sneaky Freud made sustained rally to land second after stumbling badly at the start in last; big-time threat. A Better Tomorrow earned swift numbers in both dirt starts; must consider. Trainingforsuccess displayed good speed in last and should be tighter in second start since four-month layoff.

7 She's Always Hot(L) 122 Maragh 2-2-5 Allard 7-2
8 Pumpkin Lane(L) 116 Saez 5-4-5 Quartarolo 20-1
Physical Delivery was pace and position compromised in last and rates close call based on price potential. Thepowersthatbe bested a next-out winner when a front-running maiden victor in last; very dangerous. Run a Dubb Dubb exits hard-fought score in last and handles today's added ground; don't ignore.

Main Track Only
12 Willy Elliot(L) 122 No Rider 3-4-2 Rodriguez 5-2
13 Convocation(L) 122 Maragh 5-8-3 Cannizzo 7-2
Torment was a visually impressive winner in last on Big A grass and has never failed to hit the board in four races on Belmont turf. Gunman packs potent late kick on best and is training with a purpose for first start in 54 days; very playable. Rangey is speedy and owns three seconds from three starts on Belmont sod; must consider.

6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf). 3&up. Maiden Claiming $25,000. Purse: $32,000.

Also Eligible
13 M P Ruckus(L) 124 Luzzi 4-2-x Barker 12-1
14 Gamble(L) 118 Chamafi 6-x-x Donato 20-1
15 Lt. Kojak(L) 124 Falk 12-11-4 Falk 20-1
16 Slimshady(L) 118 Espinoza 7-6-4 O'Brien 20-1
Dendrite displayed solid stretch wallop in routes last year and should pack intensified punch at 6 furlongs. Deterrent is speedy and makes turf debut in peak start of form cycle; dangerous. Solengo is rested and makes first outing with maiden claiming tag; very interesting. Consoles Gotta Go was a useful fourth in debut and is from a dam that's produced two grass winners. Imreloaded holds sharp current condition and will probably be overlooked in the wagering; consider.
