Race 7 – OC 110000b

1. #2 Nobals (10-1) – Maybe isn’t as sharp as he once was, but still has enough here with Prat in the irons to warrant a play especially if he is near this morning line

2. #1 Creditworthy (3-1) – Klaravich gelding by Mitole has won his two turf tries over this course but comes off a layoff from last year against this evenly-matched group

3. #8 Bring Theband Home (5-1) – Has been disappointing since his dominance here last year, but still has the upside to run well if he can set a more modest pace this time around

4. #4 Clock Tower (4-1) – Classier than Nothing Better and should improve purely dropping from the Grade I Jaipur with sharp recent works and adding lasix first time with winning chances

Race 8 – Grade II Glens Falls Stakes

1. #8 Speed Shopper (4-1) – Struggled last time out over this course but has the tries at this distance that can win here and would be great value near this morning line price with Irad Ortiz

2. #3 Bellezza (8-1) – Has hit the board in all three tries over this track, with competitive speed figures at the distance and can run well if Jaime Rodriguez keeps her off the lead

3. #6 Survie (7-2) – Good record in the money despite a lack of turf wins, and has good class overseas with plenty of group I races under her belt

4. #9 Gezora (5-2) – Favorite Memory has some upside here stretching in distance, but this filly can be a contender with a return to her best and a mid pack to closing trip from Alvarado

Race 9 – Curlin Stakes

1. #7 Blackout Time (3-1) – Improved last time out sitting a bit further off the lead, but still needs more improvement here to beat Chief Wallabee at this distance

2. #6 Chief Wallabee (4-5) – His Belmont was disappointing, but this colt by Constitution is still far classier than this group and wins if he runs his best

3. #5 Sea Strike (6-1) – Steps well up in class but clearly wants more distance and has the connections to upset here with Prat on a recent hot stretch

4. #4 Tiernanogue (12-1) – Back to dirt, and may ultimately prefer ten furlongs after his sharp maiden win at the classic distance but could close into the money here

Race 10 – Grade III Adirondack Stakes

1. #3 Pierette (3-1) – A winner of both of her tries, this Casse trainee has less questions than the others and should be in the right stalking position and keeps Jose Ortiz here

2. #6 Scarlett Begonia (5-2) – Won comfortably at first asking as the favorite and gets Irad Ortiz for Brad Cox who have won at a thirty percent clip together this year

3. #8 Stress Relief (8-1) – Drew away in her debut and has some more upside than others in here who struggled last time out with good value compared to the stakes runners

4. #7 Prime Aurora (10-1) – Ran on better than Luminous Beauty in the Schuylerville and still has plenty potential if she can adjust to the distance and get a better trip this time
