Race 2)
(5) ELEGANT MAN huge try last time (7) SAND VIC can win of course, but will be content to close (4) CORLEONE KOSMOS closing threat has really improved this year (6) STRONG YANKEE Smedshammer back in test run

Race 3)
(3) MYPANMAR no shot last week, should be leaving for trip behind #4 (1) DR NO Cat will probably be content to sit from the rail (6) STONEBRIDGE REGAL prepped well against lesser, always must respect McIntosh when the Crown rolls around

(1) KING TUTPANKHAMEN major post relief after fast 1:21.1 final three quarters (6) GLOBAL SCALE win streak stopped from poor cover (9) AMERICAN FURY drops and returns to Pierce who was aboard his last win (8) SILVER D MOON could be another one of Banca’s odds-on losers at Saratoga who rebound here

Race 5)
(6) LIS MARA (1) LEADING X AMPLE will probably protect the rail as per previous elims (4) PONDER

Race 6)
(5) EASTON ALLIANCE N only Crown supplement was given some time off after break as the fave in the Matriarch, qualified sharply (7) GLOWING REPORT big prep closing well off cover in race after a month off (9) MARNIE HALL would like much better with better post, we’re saving her for next week (4) BURNING POINT couldn’t handle the uncovered route returns to the front end

Race 7)
(10) ALL OVER THE PLACE tough post but game uncovered try (2) LANDMARK HALL Banca’s barn heating up and Brennan may try the pocket route (8) CANYON WIND no shot last from post #10, but many sharper here (6) EYES ON KASSA appears to be tailing off but one more shot with switch to Sears

Race 8)
(3) RARE JEWEL should get the lead much easier (7) LOAD THE DICE drops from the Haughton were he was overmatched (10) BLISSED OUT last was trip around the BigM oval, gets serious with Sears (4) GEORGE AT BIGS couple of confidence builders winning the Opens at Pocono

Race 10)
(4) SAND SAX not a big fan of this horse but gets return to Sears in one poor group of nw’s 12,500 (6) ACES OVER off poorly witch compromised his chances, threat if Smith can utilize some of his early speed (3) BJS TSUNAMI game speed effort on the off track (1) MT VERNON HANOVER this one is certainly capable but obviously not reliable

Race 11)
(7) ALL HALL proved at nice odds that previous close was no fluke (6) THE CHOSEN ONE watch list horse for sharp speed effort (3) YANKEE FINALE sharp pace on both ends gets Sears (2) DEFINITELY MAYBE Campbell gets sidelined on this one after a couple of questionable drives

Race 12)
