6 Queen Katherina(L) 119 Silvera 9-5-12 Shivmangal 8-1

Justenuffdoir tallied improved late pace and final figures in last; more to come. Queen Katherina owns speed and gets class relief. Filly Idol makes quick return, moves to dirt and drops; very dangerous.

8 Burndines(L) 118 Ortiz, Jr 7-10-x Dutrow 5-1

Stevie's Wonder makes turf debut with suitable pedigree. Alaapatique logged three tight works since tough-trip debut; very playable. Prima Storm has burned more money than the U.S. Mint; you've been warned.

5 Macha(L) 120 Ortiz, Jr 6-5-5 Rodriguez 15-1

6 Star Grazing(L) 119 Cancel 7-2-6 Jerkens 4-1

Star Grazing needed last and owns fast back numbers. Carameaway regressed in last after fast-figured placing in prior; rebound potential. Macha returns from 47-day freshener the struggling Rudy Rodriguez barn; demand value.

Main Track Only

6 Yakov(L) 119 No Rider 9-4-3 Brown 3-1

Andrew's Got Zip was a front-end winner in last and looms the speed of the speed with aggressive ride. Pep the Champ owns a win and a second in two starts on Belmont sod; very playable. Kerry Boy was a winner the first time he touched Belmont turf; worth long look. Melville should be aided by cutback to sprint.

11 Mid Ocean(L) 117 Franco 2-3-10 Weaver 2-1

Congrats to Ken makes peak start of form cycle and notched crisp, half-mile work last week. It's A Given made sustained rally in last and should benefit from today's longer trip. Extensible is fresh and drops to lifetime low; big-time player.

8 Towering Moon(L) 120 Castellano 3-3-9 Rodriguez 4-1

Towering Moon logged three tight works since claimed by Rodriguez; primed for 'A' game. Goodtolook is speedy and will prove very tough on an unchallenged lead. Escape to the Moon took backward step in last after fast-figured placing in prior; rebound threat.

16 Bambisfrostyracer(L) 121 Silvera 8-1-1 Serpe 10-1

Mark My Style bested a next-out winner when scoring in last; pairs up. Chasintheblues is fleet-footed and could be sitting on breakthrough in third start since layoff. Irish Jade is another that makes peak outing of form cycle; right in the thick of this.

14 Gumper(L) 120 Carmouche 2-2-6 Cooney 20-1

Steve moves to grass after clearly besting a next-out winner in last; two sharp works in the interim seals the deal. Harpoon wheels back in a hurry for new connections after clear-cut score on June 17; very playable. Sweet Lou was speed sharpened in sprint last out; very interesting. Mutasaawy could be in the garden spot if fractions get fast and furious. Arctic Slope was a solid third at this level in last; must consider.
