7^th race [Manila (G3), 1 mi TURF] – (4) Move to Gold has only top three finishes in her four-race career and at the beginning of June he just missed the win in the Jersey Derby at Monmouth Park. (6) Deterministic gets moved to the grass after two disappointing performances in the Wood Memorial (G2) and the Peter Pan (G3). The surface change hopes to bring the impressive winner of his first two starts back into form. (3) Neat will need to get a pass from his poor result in the American Turf (G2). Before that he was a winner of the Transylvania (G3) at the Keeneland spring meeting. (5) Please Advise won his maiden at first asking and since then ran in several stakes races with a victory in the Atlantic Beach to end 2023.

8^th race [Alw 100000 N1X, 6F TURF] – (5) Masterof the Tunes (A) broke alertly but became rank unrestraint from the rider and dropped out of contention. This is the second bad trip in a row and gets another rider change. (4) Kerry was third and then second in her two starts this year. (1) Reflexivity was last seen in September running third in an allowance at Kentucky Downs. (6) Epic Miss Justice returns from an almost one year layoff when she broke her maiden and changes to the barn of Bill Mott.

9^th race [OC 80k/C, 6 ½ F] – (5) Sheriff Bianco (B) stumbled at the break, jockey lost the irons, and got back to mid-pack after two starts in NY-bred stakes this year. (1) Repo Rocks was off for almost a year and came back to run third against a strong field under similar conditions. (7) He’smyhoneybadger was claimed from 5 out of his last 6 starts including last month by Linda Rice when he was a winner for a $62,500 tag. (4) Subrogate won both of his 2024 starts moving through allowance conditions.

10^th race [OC35k/SAL, 1 1/16 mi TURF] – (7) Yo Daddy (A) was rank early, dropped back to last in a field of 11, and got to second on a speed favoring track. (3) Just for Luck was claimed for $35,000 and came back for Mike Maker to finish second in a starter allowance at Gulfstream Park last month. (8) Skellig Island was fourth three weeks ago in a starter allowance and gets Lasix for the first time. (9) Jhirsch was a maiden winner by almost seven lengths for red hot trainer Graham Motion.

Best bets:  Move to Gold (7^th); Yo Daddy (10^th). Best value: Masterof the Tunes (8^th); Sheriff Bianco (9^th).
