Track: Belmont at the Big A (2nd Race)
Horse: SUSPICIOUSLY NAMED (#1, 15-1)
SUSPICIOUSLY NAMED is clearly better than his last result where he wasn't allowed to show his early speed and fought his rider's restraint through the first half of the race; put forth an effort that could beat this field two back when he ran off on the lead and battled on gamely for 2nd in a race that was falling apart late; should get back to those front-running tactics here, especially being drawn much better than his two main pace rivals. – David Aragona | Get Past Performances for this race

Track: Gulfstream (3rd Race)
Horse: LAST RUN (#2, 12-1)
LAST RUN cut back to sprinting in his last pair and just liked it. He didn't get a clean trip last out either. He adds a half furlong which can't hurt. The weight break continues with the apprentice up. Race flow is more than fair as we count at least three in here with early zip. – Scott Ehlers | Get Past Performances for this race

Track: Belmont at the Big A (6th Race)

Post Time: 4:00 ET
Track: Los Alamitos Race Course (1st Race)
Horse: SCATIFY (#5, 7-2)
SCATIFY returns to preferred dirt footing following an okay midpack finish on turf that was his first in two months and first since claimed by trainer Jeff Mullins. SCATIFY runs best on dirt; he won his career debut over the Los Alamitos track in late 2023 and can win from off the pace with slight improvement. – Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race

Track: Gulfstream (7th Race)
Horse: OASIS PRINCE (#1, 6-1)

Post Time: 4:30 ET
Track: Woodbine (1st Race)
Horse: ANOTHER CHARLIE (#6, 7-2)
ANOTHER CHARLIE worked well from the gate Aug. 31 before posting two more quick drills for a trainer who can have one ready. The son of 13% first-out sire Adios Charlie is the first foal from a sprinter who banked $181K and the second dam was G3-winning sprinter My List. – Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race
Post Time: 7:01 ET
Track: Woodbine (6th Race)
Horse: ALLEY OOP JOHNNY (#7, 10-1)
ALLEY OOP JOHNNY saved ground in third before fading to sixth over a speed-favoring inner turf with the rail in lane 4 last Friday. The hard-knocking veteran could end a drought in this shorter two-turn inner turf tilt with Campos riding for his main man Chircop, who had a 14% strike rate with 1-7 day comebackers over the past five years ($1.65 ROI). – Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race
