7th: ALW/N1X, 3+, 8.5f-T (P3)

Very good turf ALW here with Prince Rahy (#4) a bet-against in our mind.. Passing on Snowstalker (#6) as well..

1. #7 Compromise 4-1: Mott Point Given red came out running in debut..
2. #3 Mister White Socks 3-1: KMc turns to new 'go to' guy Garcia..
A. #5 Dancing Tin Man 10-1: Soph debut very solid; Threat with any progress..
B. #8 Kris Angel 8-1: Chased Red Giant last pair; Sciacca 4yo in form..

FYI NOTE: #1 Pick Six: Phipps runner bred nicely for lawn..


8th: The Stage View, NYB-F&M, 3+, 7f-T (DD, Super)

Super competitive grass sprint with a variety of possibilities.. Could well blow the multi-race plays apart..

SCRATCH NOTE: #13 Iron Goddess draws in and is worth using as a cover in multis.. One option is keying her in Doubles as a safety..

1. #6 Sabellina 5-1: Back to racing after shed try failed; May lay over on class..
2. #5 Willshefire 8-1: Instantly ran career best 'first time Tagg'..
A. #10 Artistic Express 6-1: Chased big time gals in Beaygay..
B. #12 Wild Berry 6-1: Gorham has been dangerous with his NYB ship-ins..

LONGSHOT/SUPER ADD: #2 Homerette 12-1: Kelly stake winner may be lost on the board; Owns win this trip and a threat with return to best..


9th: NYB-MDN CLM, 3+, 6f (Super)

1. #8 He's Tough 5-1: May be appropriately named versus these..
2. #10 First Expression 4-5: Serpe going well but this one is 11x loser..
A. #7 Passing Dream 10-1: As eligible as any for underneath..
B. #2 Housebid 20-1: Bailes poor in NY since Scrappy T; Could improve off claim..


<$50 P4 Play: 4x2x3x2 = $48

<$100 P6 Play: 3x2x2x2x1x2 = 48 x $2 = $96


Good luck!
