6th race – (3) Girl With a Dream (A) has posted stakes wins at six and then seven furlongs. Should be able to handle the stretchout to a mile and collect a fourth straight win. (2) Classy Edition has been dominant against New York-breds. Gets tested for class here. (5) Sweet Dani Girl has been training sharply for her 3-year-old debut. (1) Kathleen O. will be a serious factor in the final furlong. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-3. Exactas: 2-3 over 1-5 and 1-5 over 2-3. Doubles: 1-2-3-5 with 2-4-6-9.

7th race – (6) Royal Spirit pressed the pace and then lost by a neck at the wire. Can make amends for that setback here. (4) Main Event looked good in his turf debut and merits consideration here. (2) Coinage was third behind the top pick and belongs in the exotics. (9) Red Danger will benefit from a fast pace. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-4-6-9.

9th race – (3) Jouster has plenty of speed. She hasn’t raced since July but Pletcher excels off the layoff and she may be fresh enough to lead gate-to-wire. (5) Bipartisanship got off to a slow start in the Pegasus Filly and Mare Turf and never threatened. Should get a better trip here. (7) Alms was a game second in the Pegasus FMT and should not be overlooked. (6) Gift List may be closing nicely in the stretch. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-5-6-7. Doubles: 3-5-6-7 with 3-4-6-7. Pick 3: 3-5-6-7 with 3-4-6-7 with 1-2-3-8.

10th race – (3) Speaker’s Corner (A) comes off an impressive victory over the track and can make it two in a row here. (4) Fearless was second to the top choice and should be the main rival once again. (6) Ny Traffic has been absent since October but has enough back class to be a main contender. (7) Endorsed usually brings home a check and cannot be ignored. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-6-7. Doubles: 3-4-6-7 with 1-2-3-8.

11th race – (1) Abaan is in career-best form and will be tough to catch from the rail. (3) Glynn County may have needed a race last time and could take a step forward here. (8) Temple was second to Abaan and will be major factor today. (2) Kygo should welcome the added distance. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-3-8.
