*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4th or worse

1st race – (3) Egoz Unit was claimed by Gargan and should have a big impact in her turf debut. (4) Love Mami Love missed by a nose last time and looks like the main foe. (1) Mystic Sunrise should take a step forward from the rail after breaking from post nine. (5) Light and Path could be hard to catch here. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-4-5.

4th race – (1) Fulton Street missed by a neck after a long duel at Tampa and looks best here. (7) Rave On may perk up back on dirt. (4) Ensign Parker might appreciate the shorter distance here. (2) Readthetranscript could be a stretch threat in this field. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-4-7.

6th race – (6) Lucago (B) was a game second last time and can win off the Caramori claim. (3) Executive Search should fit in nicely against this group. (1) Untitled might wake up for Joseph off the claim. (7) Adventure Seeker looks like the one to catch turning for home. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-6-7.

8th race – (3) Mr. Ripple was third in a tough field last time and should welcome the stretchout to two turns. (1) Classic Catch will be helped by a ground-saving trip from the rail. (4) Point Proven gets Saez and should be a main threat. (2) Run Cory Run exits a promising maiden win. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-2-3-4. Doubles: 1-2-3-4 with 3-4-6-12.

9th race – (12) Demogorgon was second in her last two starts and seems overdue for a win. (4) Sister Nell was hurt by a wide trip and might make amends in this spot. (6) Turbie could respond to a class drop. (3) Lamasco figures to be effective at this level. Betting strategy: 12 to win, place. Exacta box: 3-4-6-12.
