1st race – (5) Pens Street drops off a win at Belmont and looks best here. (8) Beach Dancer has speed which could be effective from the outside post. (3) Cora’s Legacy should be competitive here. (6) Acousticat put in a bullet work for this. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-5-6-8. Doubles: 2-3-6-7 with 1-5-6.

3rd race – (2) Carol’s Melody drops and should be suited by the distance. (6) Huck’s Agenda cuts back to 6 furlongs and could work out a good trip. (1) Tatiarosa gets the rail after finishing a wide fifth last time. (5) Good Call should be in the mix with this bunch. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-5-6.

5th race –- (2) Patriot Moon runs well when fresh and is working nicely for this try. (1) Sparked has speed from the rail and looks like the one to catch.

7th race – (1) Surfin’ M flopped last time but can rebound in this field. (4) Easy Dial drops off two straight claims and is worth a look here. (7) Dewy’s Denali should be closing in the stretch.

9th race –  (1) Faye’s Gold has been facing stakes rivals and will be helped by a ground-saving trip. (11) Icona will be dangerous on her best try. (3) Lit Ship could be tough to reel in in this spot. (9) Lady Iva has talent but has not raced since January. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-9-11.
