2.Trade Imbalance
Chad BrownDylan Davis
5-2

This race could be run at a slow tempo. TRADE IMBALANCE finished 22 lengths off the winner last start at Keeneland when resuming, perfectly placed. MACAW a winner at first outing this prep and only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Belmont At The Big A, for the wider exotics. ACCIDENTAL BID placed last start at Aqueduct and up in trip, for the exotics. GOLDEN PURCHASE in the money last start running third at Belmont At The Big A and racing back at non-metro class on a Saturday, outside hope.

7.Leading Contender
Chad BrownManuel Franco
2-1

Difficult to see anything outside of the top three picks winning this. LEADING CONTENDER placed at Saratoga in only second-up attempt but ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Aqueduct when first up, commands respect. THE GINGER WIZARD won last start at Turfway Park when fresh and comes back to race in non-metro on a Saturday, must be considered. CATCH A WAVE resumes from a long 45 week spell and coming off a win at Belmont At The Big A, consider. CYBER NINJA only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Laurel Park when fresh, each-way claims.

5.It Takes Heart
Ilkay KantarmaciDylan Davis
8-1

Moderate tempo with little speed on paper. IT TAKES HEART on a seven day back-up and three wins from 10 attempts this campaign, well placed. IRISH JACKSON a winner at first outing this prep and placed in two of three at Belmont At The Big A before, for the exotics. EQUUS placed when fresh and finished eighth last start at Belmont At The Big A, consider in exotics. BRZINA back from let-up and narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Aqueduct, include in exotics.

3.Material Girl
Chad BrownManuel Franco
7-5

Doesn't appear to be much pace engaged. MATERIAL GIRL back after 11 week break and just missed when heavily backed last start at Aqueduct when fresh, big chance. EAGLE RISING just missed as favourite last start at Aqueduct and should run fitter for past attempts, for the exotics. FARM HOUSE yet to miss the placegetters in three runs and was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Aqueduct, include in exotics. FULL POUR placed last start at Aqueduct and should run fitter for past attempts, for the wider exotics.

7.Lost In Rome
Rob AtrasRicardo Jr Santana
7-2

Looks a stand-out trifecta with top three picks. LOST IN ROME placed last start at Aqueduct and returns to shorter trip, a close top pick. TETSU has two placings from three runs this prep and placed last start at Aqueduct, should be thereabouts. KUNSHAN BRIDGE in the money last start running third at Belmont At The Big A when fresh and ran fifth at Saratoga when last second-up, expect to be right up there. BREW PUB only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Aqueduct and won once this prep at Finger Lakes eight runs back, in with a chance.

3.Mystifying
III Claude McGaugheyJose Lezcano
6-5

Backmarkers may need luck with little speed in the race. MYSTIFYING just missed when heavily backed last start at Keeneland when first up, should go well. MIDNIGHT CONCERTO let-up for seven weeks and finished seventh last start at Gulfstream when fresh, consider in exotics. CAN'T FOOL ME resumes after a spell of 27 weeks and disappointing last start at Aqueduct, outside hope. THREE PRIESTS first-up after 13 week break and in the money last start running third at Gulfstream, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck.

1.Embraceable Gal
Rob AtrasDylan Davis
6-1

On pace runners will have an advantage as little speed engaged. EMBRACEABLE GAL and came on strong to win last start at Aqueduct and up in distance, leading hope. VALTELLINA won last start at Aqueduct and comes back to race in non-metro on a Saturday, for the exotics. FAST AND FRISKY back from let-up. Has won at Aqueduct and placed twice this prep, consider in exotics. BROWN SUGA BABE placed last start at Aqueduct, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck.

2.Tracking Error
Chad BrownManuel Franco
7-2

Will be a close run race between the top picks. TRACKING ERROR winner at Aqueduct and placed in all other outings this preparation, commands respect. A. P. KID bolted in last start to break maiden at Gulfstream and should run fitter for past attempts, expect to be right up there. HANDS OF TIME finished in the middle of the pack last start at Gulfstream when fresh and placed at Saratoga in only second-up attempt, don't dismiss. ON THE MOUNT winner at Tampa Bay Downs and placed once this campaign, cannot be ruled out.

11.Stirred Up
Linda RiceJose Lezcano
7-5

Race lacks depth so hard to be keen. STIRRED UP ran as favourite last start and placed at Keeneland when first up but placed at Turfway Park in only second-up attempt, well placed. MUN MUN CAN RUN resumes after a spell of 35 weeks and only able to place as favourite last start at Laurel Park, has solid claims. SILVER PEARLS finished seventh last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and should run fitter for past attempts, don't dismiss. MIDNIGHTLOVEAFFAIR back from 19 week spell and drawn the rails, could upset.

4.Mun Mun Can Run
Michael TrombettaJose Lezcano
