COMMENTS: CONSUMER SPENDING is one for one on Monmouth grass in her last. She has a chance to be better in the classic third start after a layoff. SURPRISINGLY hit the board in six of seven on turf and has some sharp workouts between races. GAMS MISSION has a couple grade III wins on her resume and will be coming hard at the wire. PERSONAL BEST never ran out of the money at the distance and should be ready for another good one with a bullet workout on July 15.

COMMENTS: PROXY looks like the class of this spot. His resume says he should step up his output in round two off the bench. WHELEN SPRINGS is stepping up in class by a lot. His early pace should put him close to the front and that is where he has the most success. ANTIGRAVITY is coming off one of his best efforts showing the most late punch. He might be even better in the second start after a layoff. CALIBRATE lost to NEXT in his last. There might not be any of NEXTs caliber in here.

COMMENTS: MID DAY IMAGE could get an excellent trip as a stalker. Most of the early speed is on the outside which could make for an aggressive start as they hustle to clear the field before the turn. NOTHING BETTER drops in class from a Grade I to a level where he is not far from winning four in a row. FORE HARP ran the highest last race speed figure and will try to take them wire to wire. CORDUROY ROAD ran better internal numbers from gate to wire in his last outing and first on Monmouth turf.

COMMENTS: SEARCH RESULTS resume says she should be at her best in the third start after a layoff. DISTINCTLYPOSSIBLE increased her speed figure in the last two races including tying for the highest last race speed figure. SHOTGUN HOTTIE finished in the money six of nine at the distance with solid pedigree for routes. LOVED is unbeaten in three in 2023 after spending more than a year on the sidelines.

* EXACTA: 3,9/3,4,5,6,9
* TRIFECTA: 3,9/3,6,9/3,4,5,6,9
 
COMMENTS: CATNIP has run robust early pace in some races and robust late pace in others. He will be a monster when he puts the two together. RED KNIGHT has run nine high quality races in his last 10 outings. He will not beat himself. PLANETARIO usually wins or runs off the board. He has visited the winners circle six times in 11 races with a second. OCEANS MAP upped his speed figure in the last two races and could stay on the trend in his round two off the bench.

COMMENTS: ARABIAN KNIGHT is yet to be challenged winning both of his races by pulling away by a lot in the stretch. SALUTE THE STARS made a power move in the stretch last out. Adding some distance today could be beneficial today. MAGE is working well and should be fit for his return with a bunch of long works getting prepped for his return. TAPIT TRICE ran better pace numbers from start to finish in his last race which is usually an indication of a horse on the upswing.
