6Bella Fachi(L)122Jara2-3-1Terracciano6-1
Desert Valentine drops two class levels after speed and fade in last; 2-for-3 at the distance. D' Kennesaw Cat is riding a two-race winning streak; dangerous. Bella Fachi was second to a runaway winner in last; price will be tempting.

7Storied Lady(L)120No Rider3-2-1Hertler8-5
Keri Belle compiled eye-catching work slate for first start since January; primed and ready. Hillhouse High was an even fourth in last and should be tighter in second start since six-month layoff. Isabella Sings also was an even fourth in most recent and fired half-mile bullet in the interim.

7Ruby's Rocketman(L)121Ortiz, Jr1-7-2Quartarolo5-2
Island Therapy was second to a much-the-best winner in last; more to give. Jimmy Connors owns speed and fast figs but has been sidelined for 321 days; mixed message. Alysaro could prove tough on an unchallenged lead.

8Dorset Damsel(L)124Carmouche4-4-7Ryerson10-1
Harlans Six is riding a forward line on the numbers; call in weak maiden field. Stonely Heart drops and returns to dirt; big-time player. Pretty Like Me owns speed but has failed as the favorite in last two starts; you makes the call. Not About the Nail would be aided by pace meltdown.

2Bambisfrostyracer(L)120.8-1-1Serpe8-1
Northern Tripp needed last and packs powerful late wallop on 'A' game. All About Ashley is speedy and could play out as the controlling front-runner in turf debut. Alexa's Spirit has noticeably improved his game since moving to grass; price will be tempting.

8Cosmic Tale(L)117Arroyo10-2-4Baker15-1
9Broken Border(L)117Castellano5-2-8Servis4-1
Broken Border tallied career-best effort on Belmont turf last fall and 9-furlong trip should play to strength. Courageisamajority tallied swift late pace figure when second in last; very playable. Jc's Shooting Star is from a dam that's produced two grass winners; very interesting.

9Oltre' Oro(L)120Franco5-6-5Rodriguez5-1
Wild Finish was a clear-cut winner for this price in last and owns faster back numbers. Read the Mirage is rested and gets class relief; worth long look at long price. Star of New York is fresh and has won two of last three starts; must consider.

3The Big Deluxe(L)117Cancel1-2-8Rodriguez2-1
Zandar should pack enhanced kick with cutback to 6 furlongs; set for best in third start since six-month layoff. Malibu Charlie is fresh, training swiftly and looms the speed of the speed; very dangerous. Glowing Ember delivers strong efforts with machine-like consistency.

15G R's Giant(L)118Alvarado2-2-2Baker4-1
Ack Fiesty tallied rapid final fraction when an even fifth in last; forward move predicted. My Friend Keith was a game second in last; logical. Jackson N Leonard exits solid placing in last and should have more to give in second start since five-month layoff. Hushhushmushmush has made a career out of losing at short odds; you've been warned.
