#1 shows 3 2nd's and one win in last 5 races on grass, meaning he has 1 win and 3 2nd's in his other 15 grass starts, so we just don't know how he fares after a layoff. If i treat him as a FTS then he shows that 1/2f per day w/o frequency: 4f in last 8 days and 14f in last 28 days.ok, but he got beat by the #5 last 7/8 and seems to be outclassed here. I used his 9/14 race because it was on today's inner turf;

#2 shows a good effort off a l/o and in first start. shows 5f on 5/3 & 5/12- better than 1f per day in 9 days and 2/3f in last 16 days. Accept current form and used 5/21/16 race to rate;
#3 can win off a l/o but after an extended l/o showed zilch in last 2 starts and does not show that 1/2f per day frequency. don't like him but used his 8/8/15 race to rate him;
#4 good effort in first lifetime start and shows 15f in last 19 days. Accept current form and used his 9/10/16 race to rate;
#5 good effort on 4/30/16 after a l/o, shows 14f in last 20 days last one a bullet. Accept current form and used 5/22/16 race to rate him - same dist/surface;
#6 only 3 starts. horses with fewer than 4-5 starts pose a problem and this is a 3 yo that can really bounce up., so i used his first and last start to get a better read on him;
#7 another l/o horse,poor race in first start. in fact got buried by the #6 by 6 lengths. NOT TODAY; but used his 7/3/16 race to rate him;
#8 NOT A L/O HORSE BUT NOT AN ALW HORSE EITHER . USE LAST RACE TO RATE AND REMEMBER THE ELEVATOR ONLY GOES ONE WAY IN HORSE RACING!
So i have the 2-4-5-6 and with my #'s: PBS #2=106,#6=103 gap to the #5=99, while the top PPF horse was the #4=+5. In Neutral races in sprints i favor PBS horses.
They ran 6-2-4-5 #6 $4.20 2Ex= $17.20, 2Tri= $73.50. Top 2 PBS horses were underlays and so was the #4. #5 was a slight overlay but clearly wasn't the choice here.
SO NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH LAYOFFS AND MAIDENS AND YOU "SHOULD" HIT EVERY RACE NEXT WEEK. RIGHT.

Your Belmont race 9 you said you wanted 1 furlong per day. now your saying you want 1/2 furlong per day? Maybe you can clarify this.
