1^st race [NY, Md Sp Wt, 6F TURF] – (2) Handle On You (C) got bet down from 9-1 to 7-1 and then stalked the pace and finished second. He will try to get on the grass after getting moved to wet tracks in her first two starts. (6) Dusk set the pace and finished fourth last time as the favorite in the same race as the Hot List horse. (5) Lil’ Hayadoin will debut showing a couple of turf works and is out of a mare that won nearly $400,000 and was a stakes winner. (9) Fabulous Fox will make her first start for the Clement barn.

3^rd race [NY, Maid of the Mist, 1 mi] – (1) Tricky Temper (A) was twice entered for the turf including her debut victory at Saratoga and the Matron last month where she ran second well clear of the rest of the field after getting bumped at the quarter pole. (4) Caldwell Luvs Gold won her first two starts including a NY-bred stakes race at Saratoga and gets a speedy pace set-up. (3) My Mane Squeeze gets Irad in the saddle after running third on a sloppy track in that aforementioned NY-bred stake. (5) Cara’s Time was a front-end winner of the Joseph A. Gimma ahead of the second and third choices. She is one of several in this field that stretch out to a mile.

7^th race [NY, Iroquois, 6 ½ F] – (1) Captainsdaughter (C) has been racing against open company and moved from turf to dirt last time and won a top-level allowance when she was bet down from 27-1 to 17-1. (5) Sterling Silver crossed the finish line in front by four-lengths in the Gallant Bloom (G2) but was disqualified to second when he came in causing interference. (4) Funny How returns from a May layoff after racing in two graded stakes with a second in the Distaff Handicap (G3) at Aqueduct. (3) Bank On Anna is a past winner of NY-bred stakes races and is projected to be on the lead.

8^th race [NY, Sleepy Hollow, 1 mi] – (1) El Grande O is stakes placed against open company at Saratoga and won the Bongard against state-breds by more than eight lengths. Last time he tried the Champagne (G1). (3) Aggelos the Great was second last time behind the top choice and will try a mile for the first time. (2) Bonne Chance won his debut by five lengths at Saratoga and then was third in the Bongard. (8) Mischief Joke finished in the top three in all seven starts including the NY Breeders Futurity last time.

Best bets: Handle On You (1^st); El Grande O (8^th). Best value:  Tricky Temper (3^rd); Captainsdaughter (7^th).
