6/23 AP 8 Hotshot Anna/Princess La Quinta Exacta ($24.80) 
Saturday's 9th race from Monmouth Park (6-30-18) is the Grade 3, $100,000 Eatontown Stakes for fillies and mares traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the turf course. 
#3 Lift Up (4-1) is 5-for-5 at this distance on turf and exits a nice local victory in the the Miss Liberty. She owns strong Late Pace Ratings and can step up and win again for Pino/Dickinson. 
#2 Special Event (6-1) almost upset New Money Honey June 21, and it was more than five lengths back to the show finisher. She went all the way in her only other turf start and should be forwardly place under McCarthy. 
#4 Dream Awhile (3-1) consistently runs her race for Chad Brown, and she is back at her winning distance. Look for her late under Irad Ortiz Jr.
#1 Elysea's World (5-2) is also conditioned by Chad Brown, and the morning line favorite has only captured one of her last eleven starts. She frequently hits the board and might be best used underneath.
