ARTFUL PERSUASION Artie Schiller filly stopped against tougher, then dropped to claiming level and missed by a nose. Debuts with blinkers and top rider sticks. PINOT GRIGIO made first start in month and a half and dropped from higher allowance level at Monmouth but was wide before kicking in late and finishing third. ROYAL START rallied for third two back at this level, then tried longer and stopped late. Cut back should help.

CATCH THE HUMOR dropped to this level and ran wide and tired, but is bred to like today’s off going. Only ran once in slop, which was a sixth-place finish after setting the pace off of a layoff. VIRGING ON STARDOM Ten Most Wanted gelding exited turf start and came on too late in last, which was over slop at today’s level. TENTH WAVE Purge gelding drops from allowance level and makes second start off layoff for barn that fares well at 33% when doing so.

PLATED Tiznow colt switches to barn that is 34% with new runners and looks to make amends after offering little in last at Aqueduct. Debuts with blinkers, a move that barn shows 30% win rate with. PIQUANT gelding by Arch makes third start off layoff and has run well in last two. Should relish today’s off going. POTUS gelding finished as runner-up in last two, which were washed off the turf on N.Y. circuit.

TOM CAT ALLIE ran wide, was claimed, stepped up and dueled before edging away to win by two. Claimed again after that performance and now lands here for strong barn. JET SET VINNY came on late to win two back, then came on for place spot at this level over sloppy track. WICKET EWOK colt by Sharp Humor gets significant drop after facing tougher in last two at Woodbine.

Cornucopia Stakes
POSEIDON’S WARRIOR Speightstown throws mud lovers, and this one scored to win the Grade 1 Vanderbilt four back at Saratoga before two third-place finishes bookending a wide, tiring performance in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. Horse to beat. HEAD HEART HOOF ships in from N.Y. outfit that wins at 28% here, and should be in the mix off of victory in handicap at Aqueduct. ROYAL CURRIER Red Bullet gelding has been working real well at Belmont and looks to return to previous form before flop in stakes at Laurel.

YOU LITTLE DEVIL lost rider three back, then returned to rough trip where he was third, and improved last out to fall short as favorite after another rough trip for place spot. Clean trip should get it done here. TACONIC KNIGHT made first start since May two weeks ago and tired to fourth. Barn is 33% when making second start. WHISTLE INCLUDED dropped to this level in last and was no factor from wide post, but any of previous three trips will match this group.
