PRE-SCRATCHES
4th: MSW, 2yo-F, 8.5f-Outer Turf (P6, P3, DD)
$50k DBL C/O starts here..
Can’t count on it, but Cyrielle (5-1), who exits Rushing Fall MDN win, has a chance to nurse it around all the way up front. Think you likely need all four of these to get through, though simply using both Chad Browns (#’s 5/10) might be effective budgetary approach..
Best Value: #9 Cyrielle 5-1 5th
Next Best: #5 Kasbach 7-2 2nd
Exotics Use: #10 Filfila 3-1 WON ($6.70)
Super Add: #4 Closing Statement 4-1 3rd
5th: NY-ALW/N1X, 3+, 6.5f (G/S, P3, DD)
2-1 Rock Doc, out of Joan Scott’s G1 winning (Madison) sprinter Dr. Zic, the colt to beat cutting back 110 yards from 7f ALW try last month, but there’s a fair amount of pacey types that could complicate things..
Most Likely: #9 Rock Doc 2-1 5th
Best Value: #6 Benevolence 8-1 2nd
Next Best: #5 My Boy Tate 7-2 WON ($7.50)
Exotics Use: #10 Altesino 15-1 9th
6th: Opt CLM/C, 3+, 1m (P4, P3, DD)
Struggled here as 6 of these are separated by 2 lengths or so before you get to Chilean import Kurilov. Lookin At Lucky 4yo a bit of a mystery player, but has been carefully cultivated for US debut and might be a perfect stranger v. solid but unspectacular group..
Most Likely: #2 Kurilov 5-2 4th
Best Value: #7 Great Stuff 8-1 WON ($16.00)
Next Best: #4 Backsideofthemoon 4-1 5th
Exotics Use: #5 Vulcan’s Forge 7-2 2nd

Exotics Use: #6 Sweet August Lady 6-1 2nd
8th: 11th NY Stallion Series-Staten Island-R, F&M-3+, 7f (DD)
One thorny issue in this contentious bunch is presence of #3 Frosty Margarita (8-1) going turf/dirt-route/sprint for Rudy..
Most Likely: #5 Wonderment 3-1 4th
Best Value: #7 Riot Worthy 5-1 5th
Next Best: #2 Bee Noteworthy 4-1 WON ($9.20)
