Sartorius
Sartorius
How-To: Remove the gracilis. The sartorius is located near the adductor magnus, posterior to the rectus femoris and vastus medialis. It is small and shaped like a bulb. The blunt probe in this picture is pointing to the sartorius.
Adductor Magnus
How-To: Remove the Gracilis. look to the right of the sartorius, which is easily located, and the adductor magnus is another narrow triangle-shaped muscle in the thigh. It is connected to the semimembranosus and often must be separated with the probe. In the above photo, the adductor magnus is right under my thumb, to the right of the sartorius

The picture on the bottom will show you how it looks before removing.
