COMMENTS: THE CRITICAL WAY is capable of some really fast early fractions and should be on top of his game in the third start after a layoff. BELGRANO would be the primary beneficiary of a hot early pace. He won five of eight at Monmouth and just four of 33 elsewhere. PROVEN STRATEGIES just missed in his last effort. He fell short by a neck to BELGRANO but could be better in the second start off the sidelines. BIG PACKAGE ran the highest last race speed figure and has a fast workout between races.

COMMENTS: ROUGH SEA won his last race by 10 lengths with significantly better fractions. It was his first go around Monmouth and it is our experience that a big effort is usually followed by another. HIGHLY MOTIVATED has the most class and is not all that far from winning five of his eight races. PIPELINE is making his first start after a short rest. He runs well fresh but has fallen short at the very end two of his last three returns after a layoff. TOP GUN TOMMY should be part of the early pace and finished in the trifecta in nine of his last 10 starts.

COMMENTS: VIGILANTES WAY is a horse for the course with two wins and three second in five starts. She is not much more than a length from winning four of the five. FLUFFY SOCKS has powerful late race moves and will try to clip them at the wire. LEMISTA should be in peak form in her third start off the bench and will also fly at the end. LADY ROCKSTAR is undefeated in two since coming from England but this will be the toughest group she has faced.

COMMENTS: SEARCH RESULTS gets first time Lasix and has some early ability. The combo of first Lasix and speed works but she does not have to be much better coming off the highest last race speed figure. BETHS DREAM is a head away from winning four in a row. She has a bullet work between races and should be sharp in race two after a short break. ARMY WIFE has hit the board in nine of nine races on fast track. BONNY SOUTH is the lone true closer in the field but the pace might not be hot enough to maximize her late race edge.

COMMENTS: GUFO finished second twice in two races at this longer distance. He is just a length and a head bob from scoring in both. TRIBHUVAN is coming off a big Grade I win at Belmont Park and is the defending Champion of the United Nations Stakes. CARPENTERS CALL has won three of five turf races and can go wire to wire with the right fractions. KENTUCKY GHOST improved his in race numbers from the start to the finish of his last outing. A couple of strong workouts since the winning effort suggest he will be sharp again.

COMMENTS: Take your pick between JACK CHRISTOPHER and TAIBA as there is not much if anything that separates the two. The biggest fear is they duel from gate to wire and run unreasonable fractions. BENEVENGO is a price horse that could sit right behind the two favorites and has won from off the pace. He is three for three on a fast track and has a bunch of bullet works at Monmouth getting ready. CYBERKNIFE has proven he can handle the distance with a win in the Arkansas Derby.
