COMMENTS: WITH THE MOONLIGHT turns around quickly off a GIII win for trainer Charles Appleby. CONSUMER SPENDING should be at her best on the third start after a layoff. DOLCE ZEL beat some of these in her last and has a bullet work between races. CANISY has the versatility to run from the front or back.

* TRIFECTA: 3/9/10 BOX, 5/9/10 BOX

 

 
COMMENTS: ROBIN SPARKLES should be the pacesetter and loves the distance with three wins and three thirds in six. CARAVEL is an all or nothing type at the distance with five wins in nine tries and nothing else. SPICY MARG is a main contender if the race is moved off the grass. TOO SEXY was the betting favorite in the last two versus many of these. She could get overlooked here and prove to be a good value.

COMMENTS: NEST smoked many of these in her last but there were some signs of a peak race. GERRYMANDER ran by far her top speed number last out and has some good works since. SECRET OATH will look to improve in her second start off the bench. GODDESS OF FIRE has some late pop and helps fill out the gimmicks.
