6 Vexor(L) 117 Castellano 6-6-9 Kimmel 12-1
Hillswick fired half-mile bullet since fast-paced placing in last; short price and seven extra pounds are reasons to proceed with caution. Bambi Bound is fleet-footed and was swift-numbered second in last; very dangerous. Flying Pegasus could be in the garden spot if top pair engage in front-end duel.

15 Anchovy(L) 119 Lezcano 9-4-x Barbara 4-1

15 Siberian Wildcat(L) 119 Maragh 2-6-6 Contessa 5-1
Harley Chick drops into maiden claiming ranks after late-running third in last at Atlantic City; weakness of field is selection's strength. Believe In Betty is riding an improving line on the numbers. Tina's Note should be aided by cutback to sprint; price will be tempting. Smarty Aya could turn things around with switch to sod.

13 Tap Attack(L) 121 Lezcano 4-6-6 Persaud 20-1
14 Crepe Au Sucre(L) 121 Smith 5-7-4 Kelly 6-1
Kitten In May is training with a purpose for first start in 46 days and could receive needed pace assist. City Strut was victimized by scorching splits last time; wire-to-wire threat with softer flow. Gunman regressed in last after handy win in prior; rebound potential. Classic R And B was fast-figured third in last; must consider.

10 Skiddles n' Bob(L) 121 Napravnik 2-1-2 Gullo 7-2
11 Beautifulnightmare(L) 121 Ortiz, Jr 6-7-5 Friedman 20-1
Landing My Way notches solid late pace figs and could be aided by probable front-end dynamics in weak nightcap. Skiddles N' Bob tallied swift internal and final numbers when second in last; could easily take this. Born Flirt was clear-cut winner in first start on Belmont loam; very dangerous. Super Slash owns fast back figures but takes precipitous price plunge; damaged goods?
