FIRST RACE
Consequence...Will be heard from late.
Firey Red...Edged out the top pick last time and might be even tighter today in second start of the season.

Go Ask Alex.
On dirt: Sneaky Girl, Trix in the City, Hilda's Passion, Ain't Love Grand, Paracaidas.
SECOND RACE
Hurricane Barb...Full sib Enumerate won debut at Churchill last June then followed with a second-place in the G2 Sanford here. This one didn't sell at a 2YO auction earlier this year - but worked in 10.3 at that sale.
Deja Blu...MSW to mdn clm'r and Mott trainees can improve with one under their belts.
Status Pending...Has some win-early breeding - the question mark is the debut for $60K after having been bought for $200K.
Nolita.
Tea Party Gal.
THIRD RACE - Saratoga Special $150K
Kantharos...Has looked like a monster in first two - including a Churchill stake.
Sovereign Default...Big maiden win. Could be this good.
Wetzel...Got some stakes education last time and might have benefitted from the short layoff.
Blue Right By.
FOURTH RACE
Dark Cove...Might wake up with the move in for a tag.

Chuckie's Honor.
All My Chips.
Tactical Salute.
FIFTH RACE

Tutti Va Bene.
On dirt: Laylaben, Grace and Courage, Moshe Diane, Vicarious.
SIXTH RACE
Cover Story...Should fit at this level. Has a good late kick. Must get in from AE list.

Cougar Cruise.
My Sweet Emily.
Sit Chilly.
On dirt: Same, add Refinery Fire, Wise Choice underneath.
SEVENTH RACE

Papa Frita...Capable on best effort.
Run to Grand Ave.
Game token.

Great Attack...3YO has shown some talent in limited starts.
Speight of Hand.
NINTH RACE
City Sneakers...Fitness off of the layoff is the question mark - but returns at a level he should find in his comfort zone.
Coronation Day...Just missed in a similar race here earlier in the meet.
Broken Home...AE list. Trainer is very dangerous first off the claim.
Targhee Pass.
Count Catamount.
On dirt: Broken Home, D'bigcat, Devilish Due, Fuzzy's Story, I'm Entitled, Regal Soul, Dixie Nite Out, Morning Run.
