7th: 64th Stymie, 4+, 1m (P4, P3, DD)

VERY good, well matched group.. American Anthem may float up from his 7-2 third choice ML and should sit right behind the speed. Diamond King rarely misfires. Claim of the year in NY in '19 Wicked Trick turned out to be a one turn dirt horse all along. Joevia back to the East after ambitious Razorback try..

8th: 43rd Tom Fool (G3), 4+, 6f (P3, DD)

Tough, consistent and classy Mind Control a very deserving favorite in nice assembly of this early season sprint standard. Plenty of pace-interested parties here which should suit Sacco's stalking ML choice. Happy Farm turned in string of solid efforts while steadily climbing the ladder off the claim in '19 and should fire off the bench for Servis & Lezcano. Sicilia Mike in sharp form for Sciacca and closed stoutly into a mundane open company ALW pace 4 weeks ago. Late action makes for exotics booster at the least. Scramjet an AQU terror last couple of years and has string of 5f drills for return for Nevin. Fired big try off similar layoff in '18 Gravesend..

Most Likely: #4 Mind Control 7-5 WON ($4.80)
Next Best: #5 Happy Farm 5-2 2nd
Best Value: #2 Sicilia Mike 15-1 7th

9th: 40th Busher, 3yo-F, 1m (DD)

Returning 1-2 Demoiselle finishers Lake Avenue & Maedean rate the obvious edge assuming natural prgression, but in form Mo City & steady improver Kansas Kis merit looks..

10th: 67th Gotham (G3), 3yo, 1m

Deep and wildly competitive group with stakes winning Mischievous Alex and Montauk Traffic the clear horses to respect and beat. Last out MDN breakers Attachment Rate (Romans), War Stopper (Rudy), Sixto (Guillot) and Informative (St. Lewis) offer intrigue and value. Attachment Rate scored 2nd/layoff when stretched to this trip at GP, while War Stopper lept forward with the addition of blinkers. Sixto beat a hot-looking MSW group at first asking and Informative has that Uriah St. Lewis race-into-contention feel. Additionally, Necker Island & Untitled have kept top company and can absolutely win on best. Celtic Striker & First Deputy are both 2x winners entering today's fray off career tops. Finally, Flap Jack (30-1) makes his 3yo debut for Jack Sisterson and looks like the '20 version of Lexitonian who won the Chick Lang for the team last year. Has been working brilliantly at FG for 3yo debut and appeared like a distinctly happy, on-ready horse in video posted from Belmont Thursday. Might not be good enough to win, but the type that's worth trying in spot where pace is going to be honest and a winner could come from anywhere..

Best Value: #9 Flap Jack 30-1 6th
Next Best: #8 Montauk Traffic 6-1 4th
Exotics Use: #7 Sixto 8-1 9th
Super Add: #4 Attachment Rate 9-2 3rd
