2nd race – (2) Think It Thru (D) was bet down from 2-1 to 3-2 last time and has been tiring against MSW competition but should hold on for the win in a claimer. (3) Nora Radd was second at Tampa and looks like the main rival. (6) Maureenlovesfrank was second in a Hawthorne MSW test and should be a factor here. (10) Naval Wave was third last time and fits in with this group. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-3-6-10.

4th race - (4) Caramel Swirl was second at Aqueduct in fast time and seems ready to graduate here. (5) Unbridled d’Oro was a wide second for Pletcher last time in her debut and should benefit from that trip. (3) Best Cause can wake up with the addition of Lasix. (7) Tabor Hall might appreciate a two-turn distance. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-5-7. Doubles: 3-4-5-7 with 3-7-10-11.

5th race – (11) Copacetic debuts for Chad Brown and seems ready for a big effort in a debut. (3) Pharoah’s Belle makes her first start for Pletcher and should be a main threat. (7) Temper Mint Twist showed little in her debut but adds Lasix here and might perk up against this field. (10) Slumber Party has put in some impressive works for her debut. Betting strategy: 11 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-7-10-11.

9th race – (1) Royal Meghan (A) won powerfully last time and should be able to make it two in a row against this bunch. (4) Bramble Berry also won easily and looks like the one to fear. (6) Addilyn has a nice late kick and should be a factor in the stretch. (5) Bird Map moves up off a claim after a winning effort and fits well here. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-4-5-6.

11th race – (5) Zipalong has been competitive against better company and should thrive at this reduced level. (11) Thenorthremembers had some rough trips the last two times and might work out a better journey with Irad in the saddle. (2) All Good tired for a higher claiming tag but may be fine here. (8) Alastor has enough speed to be a factor in this field. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-5-8-11.
