2^nd race [NY, OC 45k/N2X, 6F TURF] – (4) Fontanafredda (B) tossed her head and lunged at the start and then just missed the win by a head. (2) Get the Candy has not run against NY-breds in more than a year when she was a winner at this same level. (1) Itsakeyper had two wins in open claimers before running third and second against state-breds at this condition. (5) Masterof the Tunes has early speed which fits well in the race that is projected to have a slow pace.

5^th race [NY, Md Sp Wt, 1 1/16 mi TURF] – (9) Vin Santo (B) raced greenly in his debut just two weeks ago at Saratoga and got disqualified after a rough and wild stretch run. (3) Frozen Four moves back to the turf where he finished third in his first start. (5) Charging Fast will make his first start for Chad Brown with an extensive work tab. (6) B D Saints has three career starts that were good and moves back to the turf after changing to the barn of Linda Rice.

7^th race [Clm 16000 N2L, 6F] – (1) Moving Pictures missed by a nose two races back racing at today’s level and is expected to get a favorable pace scenario. (8) Hatch gets blinkers on and drops down to the lowest price of his career. (9) Kbcya Later made his 2023 debut at Saratoga and drops down to a much softer spot. (7) Makar trained at Saratoga but did not run there and returns after a two-month layoff and drops down in class.

8^th race [OC 62k/N2X, 1 1/8 mi] – (5) Costa Terra ran three times at Saratoga and won a first level allowance followed by two narrow losses at today’s condition. (3) Film Star ran first or second in his last seven races and could get loose on the lead in this field. (4) Iron Works got a short freshening by Todd Pletcher and should be forwardly placed. (2) Wild Banker has been in good form this year and won 6 out of 7 times at Aqueduct.

Best bets: Fontanafredda (2^nd); Costa Terra (8^th). Best value: Vin Santo (5^th); Moving Pictures (7^th).
