COMMENTS: The Tide is out, speed is in, and LADY SPEIGHTSPEARE should be on or near the lead all the way around the track. BLEEKER STREET is undefeated in four races, including two at Tampa. GLADYS has won from the front and mid-pack, showed nice late pace improvement in her last. RUNAWAY RUMOUR has the best late kick of the bunch and should be too far off the pace.

COMMENTS: SCALDING won two in a row including his last by 5 1/2 lengths in his first at Tampa. GREATEST HONOUR should be rolling late and gets first Lasix here. WAR STOPPER missed as the publics choice in his last, trainer Todd Pletcher rebounds at 26% the next time out. WOLFIES DYNAGHOST should be close to the lead all the way around the track.

COMMENTS: There is not a lot of early speed in here, SPICER could control the tempo all the way around the track. DOLCE ZEL comes in from France off a win and gets Irad and Chad Brown. SWEET DUTCHESS could be the pacesetter and can steal it with a half mile above 47.5 seconds. AMBITIEUSE just missed in a Grade III with impressive early and mid-race improvement.

COMMENTS: Look for SHIPSATIONAL to get off to a better start and run past them all late. CLASSIC CAUSEWAY will likely try to go gate to wire but could have a lot of pressure. MONEY SUPPLY has an adventurous trip in his debut and still smokes a field of nine. BELGRADE is undefeated in two despite having some early trouble in his last. He should not be too far from the front and can fly late.
