Race 2

Spot Play

CONZIG (#7, 5-1) is back in for a tag on dirt for first time since solid runnerup finish back in May at Belmont; hope the outside post helps, as she’s had trouble at the break a couple of times since then. - Mike Beer

Race 5

Vulnerable Favorite

JULESCO (#2, 5-2) may well shake loose here but she was clear in that last one and still failed to last; especially vulnerable if she gets even token pressure from MY DONNA JEAN, who has a little early zip. -Kenny Peck

Race 6

Spot Play

OLTRE’ ORO (#3, 9-2) faces several well-connected drop downs, but he was a game second behind a Jacobson move-up on his debut, and trainer Kelly Breen is sporting some serious numbers with second out maidens going route-to-sprint on dirt: Past 5 years, 9-for-19 (47%), $2.69 ROI, including 2-for-2 with maiden claimers (via Formulator). - Mike Beer

Race 7

Spot Play

MONEY ONLY (#1, 5-1) should get a nice set-up in those spot, with at least two pure speeds to his outside; should be rolling late, especially if the pace is quick and contested. -Kenny Peck

Race 8

Spot Play

HOT SPLASH (#7, 6-1) was compromised racing in behind a moderate pace and having to move around a stopper first off the claim; lands in another paceless race but has the speed to stay close, as evidenced by her front-running win two back. - Mike Beer
