FIRST RACE
Zip by You...Markedly improved since moving into the Rodriguez barn. Looks capable of being heard form at this level.
Acquired Cat...Might be the speed of the speed in here.
Two Moons...Lightly-raced this year but capable if able to fire best shot.
Lost Without You.
On dirt: Two Moons, Bhangaloo Ruby, Bob's Dylan, Catty Madeline.

TENTH RACE
New york Kitten...In a field of other proven losers this gal might still have some upside in only her second start. Half-sib Storm Rolling In was a minor stakes winner.
Notell...Another lightly-raced filly eligible to improve.
Makeminechocolate...Improving Beyers and all three tries have been OK so far. AE list.
Royal Rhetoric.
On dirt: Same, and add Antinori under.
Six Flings...Could be interesting on the turf-to-dirt move.
Stormin Bolt...The one to catch?
Eire's Run...Set for duel with Stormin Bolt - one will probably last for a piece.
Dixie Nite Out.
Atlantic Beauty...Showed some life at the MSW level -- which might raise some red flags on the drop. But the one to beat if all the wheels are on.
Aprimayjune...Woke-up on the drop. Moves up slightly today but should still fit well.
Magical Feeling...Another that appreciated the move into the claiming ranks.
Queen Anne.
On dirt: Same, add Florida Girl under.
Silk Route...First two have been promising.
It's Tea Time...Knocking heads with some of the top 3YO fillies this year. Seems to like the turf.
Queen Hazel...Should be heard from late.
Loxy Lady.
On dirt: It's Tea Time, Kayce Ace, Muhaawara, Tribeca, Empire Spring, Beauty is a Beast.
Get Stormy...Could be the lone speed.
Public Speaker...In good form.
Nownownow/Violon Sacre...Both halves look capable but Euro-import Violon Sacre is slightly preferred.
Whatsthescript.
On dirt: Convocation, Brother Nick, Cherokee Artist, Public Speaker.
Winaholic...Late-developer for Pletcher could be ready for this assignment.
Winslow Homer...Scratched from G2 Jim Dandy for this spot.
So Elite...Tires dirt but capable if he takes to the surface.
Regal Warrior.
Tasty Temptation... Going to take a shot with the Canadian-invader trying dirt.
Unrivaled Belle...Eight exacta finishes in nine lifetime starts.

Jacky Juice...Capable of jumping up in second career start.
Soo's Purse.
If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
