1^st race [Md 75000, 1 1/6 mi TURF] – (6) Tall Girl will drop into a maiden claimer for the first time in her fourth start. She finished in the top three in all three starts and this could be her last chance to run on the grass in New York this year. (7) Words of Praise was third in her debut at Kentucky Downs and then was sixth at Keeneland with both of those in maiden special weights. (9) Cookie Crumbs has also had two starts with a second at BAQ last time for Todd Pletcher and now drops in for a tag for the first time. (8) Addressable Market made one start and that was at Monmouth Park as the favorite where she was fourth.

3^rd race [Tempted, 1 mi] – (4) Good Sam was an easy winner in her first start for Chad Brown at odds of 4-1 on a sloppy track last month at the BAQ meeting. (2) Binsky broke her maiden in her second start after the daughter of Curlin stretched out to run a mile for Linda Rice. (6) Rosie’s Alibi shipped down to Parx and broke her maiden for Todd Pletcher and My Racehorse. (3) Foggy Night finished second to Rosie’s Alibi and then came right back at Parx to win by 11 lengths.

4^th race [Md Sp Wt, 1 1/6 mi TURF] – (5) Scramble (C) was bet down for 7-1 to 7-2 and just missed the win by a neck in his second start after running third in his debut. (2) Confronted was second by a head in his first start behind a horse that came back to win again for Bill Mott. (1) Fly Right lost his debut by a neck at 7-1 and then ran back in the Pilgrim (G2) at BAQ on a yielding turf course where she set the pace and faded to the back. (9) Ari Gold has a pair of fourth-place finishes. Last time he ran on a sloppy track after the race came off the turf. Pletcher puts the blinkers on him now.

9^th race [Nashua (G3), 1 mi] – (3) Signator broke his maiden in start number two by more than four lengths last month at BAQ. The son of Tapit sold for $1.7 million in April. (1) Full Moon Madness was a winner on the front end on a sloppy track at BAQ after a pair of thirds at Saratoga. (4) Champions Dream won his first at Saratoga by 2 lengths and then tried the Champagne (G1) which was run on a sloppy track. Irad Ortiz gets on board this son of Justify. (2) Torrone won his first start at Monmouth by two lengths as a heavy favorite for Kelly Breen. They tried the turf in a stakes race and then got third in an allowance at Laurel. He gets blinkers on.

Best bets:  Good Sam (3^rd); Signator (9^th). Best value:  Tall Girl (1^st); Scramble (4^th).
