TUJOES made a bid in the stretch and couldn’t get by first two foes in last at today’s level, but split horses to victory in previous. Shows two bullet works and cuts back in distance for barn that shows 20% success rate when doing so. LEAVE OF ABSENCE was four wide and altered course in stretch agaisnt tougher at Aqueduct. Should redeem self here for strong N.Y. outfit. FOLLOW THE LEADER willingly for third in stakes at Gulfstream. Shortens and has never been out of the exacta in four starts here.

STROUD POINT Speightstown filly was beaten in late stages as the favorite in last two at Laurel and was second behind runaway winner three back over this course. TRUST N MADAM another who has been the runner-up in last two, and looks to break tradition while facing a weak field here. SING GRACIE SING came wide to close for third in last at Woodbine, and should fare well with these.
