9th (4:50): Gotham S. (Gr. III), 3yo, 8.5f, $250,000 (Super)

All carry 116 except Giant Moon, 120

1. Giant Moon (Dominguez/Schosberg) 7-2: Schosberg being reasonable about NY-bred's prospects, but certainly appears well positioned to run perfect record to 5 straight with cozy draw on likely wet-fast and sealed Big A Inner; On to the Wood..

2. Laysh Laysh Laysh (Pino/Jacobson) 15-1: SCRATCHED Took a long while for this Why(x3) bay to get going but move to Big Apple and Jacobson has worked wonders; Still needs boost of speed to compete with top ones signed on here..

3. Roman Emperor (Rose/Klesaris) 6-1: Klesaris bay by Empire Maker a highly logical inclusion and plausable win alternative off strong, steady improvement; Will be most attractive as tests move to 9f and beyond; Using in all slots.. 4th

4. Saratoga Russell (Coa/Violette) 4-1: Latest West Point 'greatest horse ever' topped restricted FL company in 3yo bow and was flattered Friday when Inner Light won at 8f; Figures to be prominant from the bell and will take them as far as he can depending on who comes calling; Gotham version of J Be K not for us, but won't fault those boosting chances..

5. Southern Terminus (Elliott/Pletcher) 8-1: Pletcher More Than Ready bay chased Fierce Wind home in '08 return and could be anything having aced debut previously; $300k as KEE '06 yearling and something of a mystery in this crowd though looks like he could have a useful tactical gear to employ in these proceedings..

6. Holidaze (Luzzi/Pletcher) 15-1: Dogwood Harlan's Holiday colt has been ordinary when trying stiffer competition so far, but did perk up significantly speed-wise when introduced to routes in last; Clunk-up superfecta finish hardly out of reach..

7. Texas Wildcatter (Arroyo, N./Pletcher) 12-1: Stonerside homebred grey continues to improve with experience and addition of blinks in this spot telegraphs intent; Likely the right price horse in the mix under hungry, angry pilot.. 2nd

8. Larrys Revenge (Bravo/Zito) 15-1: Yet another LaPenta-Zito number turns up in a stake, and while this well bred Vindication has yet to prove he's a something, this is his route debut and he's faced some nice ones; Yet another that appears neither fish nor foul amongst this set.. 3rd

9. Ling Ling Qi (Maragh/McPeek) 12-1: McPeek brings Lansdon Robbins' homebred north to test quality after good performance on Donn undercard 4 weeks ago; Two turn debut and wide draw the question marks and could hound pacesetters down backstretch; Seem a bit ambitiously spotted..

10. Visionaire (Lezcano/Matz) 3-1: Matz Team Valor chestnut had curious Risen Star trip and lands here as Matz shops for Derby dollars; Drew dreadfully and is up against track and race flow, so even a top effort likely gets lost in translation today.. WON


SELECTIONS:

1. #1 Giant Moon 9th
2. #3 Roman Emperor 4th
3. #7 Texas Wildcatter 2nd
4. #10 Visionaire WON


Good luck!
Steve
