Belmont Race 3 - Celebrating 40 Year Record Holder Brava Mento (Bm72+)
PROSPECTOR'S PICK (6) was never in contention when 5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1200m at this track last start, which followed a first-up sixth placing when not beaten far. Better for those runs, looks ready for this trip now and, importantly, draws the inside. EXCELTRAIN (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 3/4 of a length. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and five placings from 10 tries and also draws well. SUPERNATURAL (7) has hit the frame in four of five runs this prep and generally has not been beaten very far. Only needs to hold his form to be a key player. ARCADIA KNIGHT (4) is a stayer resuming but boasts a good fresh record and has the services of Willie Pike. SUNNY HONEY (5) is yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance and has placed in all five runs at 1400m.
