Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BIG GAIN (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Saratoga, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. TAPWRITS TEMPER (9) finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Saratoga two months ago. Steps up in distance today. Winning rider Manuel Franco sticks. Sure to play a big role. CELESTIAL GLAZE (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1207m at Saratoga after being prominent at the turn. Has the ability to take care of this field. ELYSIAN MEADOWS (11) was beaten 9 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Saratoga six-and-a-half weeks ago. The engagement of Jose Lezcano is a positive move. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

The race before that 4th of 8 at Saratoga on August 2 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Norwich carrying 55kg at $42.50. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
