#3 Salama (6-1) – Very nice filly should handle the extra real estate.
#7 Annulment (5-2) – Consistent sort must step it up to contend for win honors.
#6 Street of Gold (7-2) – She should be tighter in 2nd off the break.
R7 – MSW 50k
#3 Tapless (3-1) – Long string of works for return.
#6 Mines and Magic (7-5) – Obvious contender after just missing at KEE.
#5 Mommo (10-1) – Last couple of works suggest he’s ready for sharp barn.
#7 Curricula (5-1) – The slight stretch out should only help.
R8 – Alw 54k/N3L
#2 Taxable (3-1) – Easy to excuse her effort in Ky Oaks from impossible post and adds the hood here.
#4 Family Tree (6-5) – Made short work of foes at odds on and looms large here.
#3 Dream Dance (3-1) – Didn’t have the smoothest trip in Oaks and has to be considered here for all slots.
R9 – OC 62k/N2X (Turf 8F)
#4 Kitten’s Roar (8-5) – Comes off the bench and looks like she’ll get a favorable trip toward the front.

R10 – G3 Winning Colors
#4 I’m a Looker (6-1) – Looks to get the perfect stalk and pounce trip from this post.
#6 Spelling Again (3-1) – The cut back makes a ton of sense.
#2 Wrath of Ruthie (6-1) – If she’s able to catch a flyer and clear, watch out.
#5 Enchanting Lady – Exits Grade 1 company, but she’s shown difficulty breaking well.
R11 – MSW 50k
#1 Truly Gifted (8-1) – Juddmonte homebred has not missed a morning work and looks ready at 1st asking.
#9 Linda (7-2) – The extra furlong should help and Leparoux will have options from the outside draw.
#2 Forecast (5-2) – Maybe 3rd time is the charm, but must show she can pass horses late.
#7 Fuhriously Kissed (7-2) – Comes from the clouds and will benefit from any pace meltdown.

#6 Sudden Urges (5-1) – Mott runner adds the blinks and takes the big drop after last being seen 15 months ago.
#5 Stature (20-1) – Owns a decent Synthetic record and others are unproven on this surface.
R6 – G3 Arlington Matron
#3 Brooklynsway (3-1) – BEST BET – Exits Grade 1. This is her preferred surface and gets a nice draw.
#9 Zubi Zubi Zu (20-1) – Hard to discount anything this barn sends out. Capable at a BIG price.
#6 No Fault of Mine (5-2) – Has been in exacta in 7 or 8 races and this barn knows how to get one ready for this surface.

R7 – G3 Arlington Classic (Turf 8.5) – Pace changes with the scratch of #3 Candy My Boy
#10 One Mean Man (6-1) – Full brother to G3 Gallorette winner (Mizz Money) last week and is in good form coming in.
#4 Surgical Strike (5-2) – Has really proven to being a tough customer versus top company and should make his run down the stretch once more.
#6 Cocked and Loaded (8-1) – Interesting to see G3 winner in this spot for Turf debut, but hard to argue with high % connections.
