Change in trainer for Hybrid Escape and seems to be the speediest here. First time lasix. Maracuja has the best figure so far.
2 – 1 Mile. Clm 16000 Purse $39,000 FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD.
2-1/1A-5
Difficult race, because the best horses are dropping sharply in class. I prefer Supreme Aura because of his constant pattern of workouts. The entry can complement themselves and Dark Storm should do better now in his second off the layoff. Spread if you can
3 – 1„ Mile. JazilB100K Jazil S. Purse $100,000 FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD.

Backsideofthemoon is in the best for of his career, and will be a thorn on the side of veteran NY bred Mr. Buff, who always gives a good account of himself in these groups.
4 – 6 Furlongs. ™‘MC 25000 Purse $35,000 FOR MAIDENS, FILLIES THREE YEARS OLD FOALED IN NEW YORK STATE
6-3-2
Weak group of maidens here. Bustinmygroove will be prominent from the gitgo and Carmouche will send him right to the lead. Avid Sucinori will be on lasix for the first and she improved second time out. Scott Alaia debuts for Rudy, enough to take her into consideration.

I like the Trevor Mc Carthy assignment on Kaz’s Beach, he will be forwardly placed and there is still upside potential with him. Comes out of a live race. Too Early cuts back to a mile and seems to me that trip is better for him. Advanced Strategy has the best figures, but has burned a lot of money in his career.

Upset special here with Gun Hill Girl, who sports blinkers today and drops from straight maidens after showing good speed on her debut on the grass. Stella Mars and Captivating Cara have the numbers and just by repeating, they will need to be taken into serious consideration.
7 – 7 Furlongs. Clm 16000n2L Purse $28,000 FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON TWO RACES.
4-8-2
Cohiba Ghost had problems in his most recent at the start, with a clean break he should be forwardly placed and will be a tough customer on Saturday. Royal Suspect is another one that should be part of that first flight and Carmouche stays up, coming back from a two month layoff. Kingfish allures Lezcano for main client Linda Rice and drops to his lowest level ever.
8 – 1 1/ 8 Mile. Alw 82000n1x Purse $82,000 (UP TO $14,268 NYSBFOA) FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD

The grinder Chestertown is 2 for 2 here at the Big A and should love the nine panel trip against these. Malibu Star comes back relatively quick, if we compare his last running lines, a positive sign. With only three races lifetime, still some improvement can be expected. Aasr hated the mud last time out, if he finds a dry surface, he can be dangerous.
9 – 6 Furlongs. Clm 10000 Purse $28,000 FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD.
12-5-9
Shamrocked drops sharply to this very weak low level claim. It’s obvious he has his problems, but he needs to be at only a 75% to win here. Justin Front tired last time out after setting the pace from the rail. He should be fitter now. The upset special here is Corporate Raider, first time out for Wayne Potts. If he gets a clear lead, he can wire this field.
