Belmont Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
CARD MAN (11) will find this a little easier than his second on debut five weeks ago, beaten 1.75 lengths at the end of 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Jumps from a wide draw but a big run is anticipated. E Z SPEAKER (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Saratoga Turf (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. CYBERSTEEL (6) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) when second, beaten 6 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so he should be in the finish. CASINO (5) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished seventh over 1710m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), beaten 8 lengths. Cannot be dismissed.
