2^nd race [Alw 10000s, 6F] – (7) Greeley and Ben gets enormous class relief after running fourth in the Bold Ruler (G3) last time at BAQ. He may be 8 years old but ran well in all three starts this year winning a $40,000 claimer at Saratoga and then getting second in a Laurel Park allowance. (6) Scilly Cay won for a $10,000 tag by more than 11 lengths last time on the front end and was claimed. (5) Easy Day ships up from Parx Racing where he has been in excellent form for Scott Lake and was third at this level a few races back. (3) Winning Drive was claimed from his last three starts at a higher price each time, most recently by Rudy Rodriguez who took him back for $20,000.

3^rd race [Clm 32000, 1 mi] – (6) Blue Paynt was second at this level just two weeks ago following a short layoff. (5) Girl of Tosconova returned from a four month break in her first start after a claim and ran fourth behind the top choice. She has four career wins and two were at Aqueduct. (4) My Sweet Wife was a winner for a $25,000 tag in a N3L condition. (1) Vegas Weekend was third in the same race as the top two, in what was her second start following 10 months off. She improved her speed figure and her finishing position.

4^th race [Md 20000, 6F] – (9) Psychic Income was claimed for $40,000 two races back, moved up to a maiden special weight, and now moves to the lowest level in his fourth start. (7) Super Quality set the pace going a mile and now also makes the drop to $20,000. (6) Sean the Hammer comes back from a six month layoff where he missed the win by a neck at Belmont Park at this level. (3) He’sgottashortfuse returns to the barn of Jimmy Ryerson. He has some early speed and a second at Monmouth Park for a $25,000 tag two races back.

9^th race [Md Sp Wt, 1 mi TURF] – (5) Siege of Boston (A) takes the blinkers off after a trio of second-place finishes including his last start earning a career best speed figure. In that race he was wide the whole time and was probably best. (6) Celestial Moon will make his second career start for Bill Mott after running fifth at 9-1. (7) Indemnify gets blinkers on in his fourth start for Chad Brown after a pair of seconds and a third, all as the odds-on favorite. (8) Aruba will make his third start following an eight month layoff and an improved recent race.

Best bets:  Greeley and Ben (2^nd); Psychic Income (4^th). Best value:  Blue Paynt (3^rd); Siege of Boston (9^th).
