Best bet: FULL OF TACT (5)
Best value: ALAN TURING (7)
FIRST: Uncle Aldo has trained with a purpose since second as the favorite last out; more to come. Brooklyn Styles wheels back in a hurry after clear-cut placing on Oct. 7 at Presque Isle Downs; dangerous. Felonious is working swiftly for debut; must consider.
SECOND: Twirling Lad regressed in last after willing second in prior. Kuleana fired half-mile bullet last week; worth long look. Tim and Sam should move forward with return to grass.
THIRD: Furry Fox gets the meds and projects as the main speed. That’sthefactjack could be in the garden spot if top selection hits the wall. Spirit of Esther is fleet-footed and starts from the fence; must be factored into the mix.
FOURTH: With the Angels has yet to taste defeat in four starts; paltry price predicted. Sarir, an uncoupled barn mate of top selection, is a front-end threat on “A” effort. Sporting Lady could be ideally positioned in the stalker’s seat.
FIFTH: Full of Tact tallied sharp late-pace figure when third in debut; added furlong should play to strength. Saratoga Party fits Chad Brown’s signature pattern; very dangerous. Quiddity was second (albeit dq’d to fourth) to a repeat winner in debut; very interesting.
SIXTH: I’m Buzzy makes peak start of form cycle after game placing in last; more to give. Sailaway was a change-of-pace third in last; worth long look. Cararra packs potent late kick on best efforts.
SEVENTH: Alan Turing made sustained rally to win last; pairs up. Fore Harp is quick from gate and could prove very tough on a soft lead. Niagara Skyline ships in from Canada and holds razor-sharp form; right in the thick of this.
EIGHTH: Fonzi Angel owns running style that should play well with switch to sod. Consider Me First is from a dam that has produced two stakes winners on turf; follow the money. Market Hours is firing bullets for Chad Brown; can’t ignore. Take Home Gold is training swiftly at Colts Neck base; charting a must.
