ANALYSIS

- BY JERRY BOSSERT

1 Dattts Da Boss finished a clear second in return last month over the inner in similar spot when beaten a length; appears the one to beat. My Donna Jean came up a nose short sprinting in last; tries stretching his speed out to two turns. Opalite was overmatche­d in last; finds himself in more realistic spot switching to leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr.

2 Stonehedge weakened late to fifth in similar spot after wide trip; looks best of slow bunch.

Chief Scout hasn't been worse than second in last three; breezed since for Jacobson. Patriotic Duty is just 1-for-28 lifetime but can land a minor reward in this spot.

3 Insolvent has speed and the rail; should be the one to catch trying for second straight score

over the inner. Matching Skies was outclassed in last when seventh but scored going away two back;

top threat. Inaflash steps up off the claim seeking three in a row; consider.

4 Muscles Marinara is winless from 12 starts but adds blinkers meeting a very slow bunch; today could be the day. Mach Seven was an improved third in last and could be involved from the start. Bundler makes first start since being eased on Dec. 4 and attracts Irad Ortiz for return.

5 Champagne Ruby cuts back to a sprint after finishing second in state-bred stakes try; gets call to nail the speed. Henry's Gal steps up off of driving score in debut when claimed by Jacobson (25%);

the top threat. Summerdale failed as the chalk in similar spot; consider in this spot. Underthemo­onlight has been freshened up since breaking maiden on Nov. 29.

6 Chicks and a Pig switches to the Hushion barn, which is 28% with new acquisitio­ns, taking needed drop with Lasix added.

Rocks Anne failed in well-bet debut when sixth on Nov. 15; can rebound returning for Violette.

Colonel Anna is a $ 65K Colonel John filly attracting Velasquez for debut; watch the board.

7 Dr Disco hasn't been out since May 3 but shows two breezes returning for Jacobson with go-to rider Cohen riding; 5-for-10 over the inner. William Thomas goes first time off the Contessa claim; shows a bullet workout for this.

Tancredi never factored in last but just missed in prior two starts; improves on a wet track. Say Mr.

Sandman has been second best in last two; include in open heat.

8 Prohibitio­n ships in from Parx seeking third straight score; looks like a short price in this spot.

Petrocelli finished a distant second behind runaway winner in last; appears best of the rest. Joe

Mooch is just 1-for-10 in career but can land a minor share in this spot.

9 Cry Holy has stopped abruptly in last two with blinkers on; can rebound with the hood coming off.

Exclusivel­y Yours shows two breezes since being claimed by Galluscio on Dec. 5. Blue Ballerina failed as the chalk in last when fourth beaten less than four lengths; can improve in this spot and land a share.
