A LOTTA WINE second in latest, which was second start off layoff, came at this level. CURLIN'S NEW MOON showed some life in latest, was a length behind choice in third in that race. POTOMAC is dropping, didn't fare well in first try on grass, back to dirt. SAVER—UNFORSEEABLE

MAIMO has won past two by combined 17¼ lengths, can take next step. TRANSISTOR one win in 11 tries on dirt, on the board seven other times. TIZ NO BLUFF is another that has been OK finding the board, has hit it in the past six starts. SAVER—HOARD

1//1//Windjammer//K. Carmouche//D. Gargan//12-1
8//8//Osheen//D. Davis//N. Zito//20-1
SUSAN B ANTHONY failed as choice for Chad in debut, expect better effort here. SOAR FROM SHADOWS rallied for second in second start off layoff, both on grass, main rival. BRIE'S LUCKY CHARM off since starting career with a second on the Keeneland grass in April. MAIN TRACK—SOAR FROM SHADOWS

8//8//SavetheSangria//R. Maragh//J. Lostritto//30-1
COOKIE CRISP drops down for second start off layoff, looks like the winning spot. DOOLEY also drops, can make a dent in the exotics for first time here. DIPLODOCUS showed some improvement in latest on grass, chance for better in this one. MAIN TRACK—PLAYWRIGHT
6— $65,000, allowance, 3-year-olds & up fillies and mares, 6 furlongs (turf)
11//11//Awsum Roar//I. Ortiz, Jr.//J. Servis//2-1

12//12//Shrink//A. Lezcano//J. Hertler//30-1
14//14//Satisfy//J. Alvarado//W. Mott//MTO
AWSUM ROAR got nosed out when last seen in April against similar at distance, one to beat. TROUBLE FOR SKYLAR second on dirt in latest start, Jose takes reigns, live long shot and an Ortiz exacta looming. HANNAH'S SMILE faded late in latest, was first start since November, should be tighter for this one. MAIN TRACK—SATISFY
7— $48,000, claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds & up, 6 furlongs
8//8//Rectify//M. Franco//M. Nevin//7-2

7//7//Royal Asset//D. Davis//T. Morley//12-1
3//3//For Pops//J. Lezcano//R. Schosberg//30-1
BOBBY ON FLEEK favored in five of seven career starts, has three wins, may get some value even on the drop. SAL THE TURTLE makes second start for new barn, looking to regain early form. BRIMSTONE should show some early gas from the rail, not out of this. SAVER—OSTROLENKA
8— $85,000, allowance optional claiming, 3-year-olds & up fillies and mares, 11/16 miles (turf)
2//2//NwMoneyHoney//J. Castellano//C. Brown//1-2
6//6//Special Event//J. Lezcano//C. McGaughey III//9-2
4//4//Brooks House//J. Ortiz//S. Asmussen//5-1
5//5//Dynatail//L. Saez//M. Dini//8-1
1//1//Amabilis//I. Ortiz, Jr.//W. Mott//10-1
3//3//Arraign//F. Lynch//M. Matz//15-1
NEW MONEY HONEY looks to have too much class for these, take the short price despite it being her first race since Dec. 30, 3-for-3 at Belmont. DYNATAIL third at this level in latest, adds some more ground here. SPECIAL EVENT took to the grass first time on it, can be in the mix. MAIN TRACK—ARRAIGN
9— $41,000, maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds & up, 7 furlongs (turf)
8//8//ThrowtheDeuce//I. Ortiz, Jr.//T. Morley//2-1

10//10//Con Em//A. Arroyo//J. Terranova, II//12-1
7//7//TheMasonFactor//M. Franco//J. Englehart//15-1
3//3//Minus Two//M. Luzzi//J. Morrison//20-1
4//4//Dustin's Comet//D. Davis//M. Maroun//20-1
2//2//Mr. Skittles//R. Maragh//C. Maragh//30-1
1//1//Carmine's Honor//Rider TBA//G. Contessa//MTO
POWERSTROKE drops down, cuts back in distance for second start off layoff, has shown a liking for front end on grass. ROUGH JUSTICE adds the blinkers for this one, not the greatest of trips in debut. THROW THE DEUCE failed in first two starts this year, both on lawn, new rider. MAIN TRACK—RAGING FIRE
Meet record: 57-for-250
