Spot PlayANOTHER TRICK (#4, 4-5): Even if this “beaten” $5k claiming sprint wasn’t as woefully weak as it turned out, this Foley trainee still would be a major contender, having run quite well off the bench in that May 18 return. Stretches out a tad with C-Lan and faces a bunch of nothin’s … the proverbial “free space” for your early horizontals. – Marty McGee

Spot PlayARCHENLAND (#6, 7-5): Bernie Flint might be 74 but his horses sure don’t seem to be slowing down much, as the veteran trainer has been having one heck of a spring meet. Should be able to notch another score when this guy gets a nice trip from the outer with the ever-underrated Castanon up. Another easy play for the early horizontals. – Marty McGee

Spot PlaySKY TREASURE (#1, 5-1) has decent figures, tactical speed and an inside post; forward trip gives her a big edge in this paceless race. -Kenny Peck SKY TREASURE (#1, 5-1) might have “needed” comeback run April 30 and in any case was stuck outside tracking a slow pace. Turf debut last summer produced close G3 4th right behind Coffee Clique, who won the Just a Game last weekend. Sharp works. – Marcus Hersh

Vulnerable FavoriteHappy to take a shot against 2-1 ML favorite THIS ONES FOR TONY (#4, 2-1), who has had his chances -- 12, to be exact -- and some of them were failures despite the benefit of ideal trips. -Kenny Peck
