Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
NO COMPROMISE (6) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Has ability and can get off the mark. PERRETTI (2) is a five-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) at the last run before spelling. Re-unites with Ricardo Santana Jr. Good chance to open this campaign on a winning note. TURBO LAUNCH (7) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1408m, beaten half a length. Should be at his peak now. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with three placings to his name. One of the main contenders. ARABIAN POWER (11) closed last prep with a disappointing fifth over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Back for a new campaign with a change of rider. Should park just off the speed. Can feature in the finish.
