Having taken a look at the Aqueduct card, there is still plenty of other action around the country.

At Santa Anita, El Roblar could spring a minor surprise in the Potrero Grande. In the Santa Anita Derby, looks like a rematch between Colonel John and El Gato Malo, with On the Virg and Polonius providing value underneath.

Daytona looks solid at a short price in the Arcadia.

At Oaklawn, a pair of nice stakes. Ginger Punch takes on the budding star Zenyatta in a very intriguing matchup in the Apple Blossom. Box those two up top with Brownie Points settling for third.

In the Oaklawn Handicap, Buzzards Bay should relish a return to dirt having won this race in 2006, although Circular Quay impressed last out, and gets Velazquez in for his only ride.

Hawthorne plays host to the Illinois Derby, and I think Real Appeal could pose a real threat to Denis of Cork.

We’ll stretch out to 12 furlongs in the Pan American at Gulfstream, where Drilling for Oil gets the call from hedge.

And at Keeneland, several spot plays:
Race 1 - Ground Frost
Race 5 - Dhanyata
Race 6 - Rondo is back!
Race 7 - Box Spoken with Lady on Holiday for a nice exacta.
Race 8 - Chattahoochee War is proven over soft ground.
Race 9 - Proud Spell is in top form to fend off Country Star.
Race 10 - Inside-outside, with the bigger price Captain Cugat narrowly over Le Dauphin.
