Exacta box: 4-5-6-10.

3rd race – (6) Yeguita Queen (D) dropped from 8-5 to even money then clipped heels at the start and never recovered. Gets a second chance here. (2) Hustle Queen drops after finishing a distant second and looks like the main rival. (1) Fearless Girl will be dangerous off the layoff if ready. (5) Starship Nugget takes a big class drop and may factor in the outcome. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-6. Exactas: 2-6 over 1-5 and 1-5 over 2-6.

6th race – (8) Only Time (A) missed by a nose in a similar spot and merits top billing here. (12) Radiant Gem missed by a neck last time and should be the main threat. (6) Armbar tries claimers and turf and is worth the look. (1) Mandy Green makes her debut and can be a factor here. Betting strategy: 8 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-6-8-12. Doubles: 1-6-8-12 with 1-2-6-8.

7th race – (1) Zanno has been tough to catch on turf and should be equally good on Tapeta. (8) Richy won over the track and will be dangerous here. (2) Determined Fury was claimed last time out and has enough of a late kick to cause problems for the top choices here. (6) Hard Count has been successful over this course and should be in the picture again. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-6-8.

9th race – (1) Igloo (A) was bumped at the start and closed nicely to take second. Makes amends for that setback here. (6) Mamba Queen debuts for Joseph and looks like the one to fear. (11) Headline Hunter adds Castellano and should be right there at the finish. (2) Hit the Woah exits a layoff and seems ready for a strong effort. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-6-11.
