Belmont Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HILL ROAD (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 1. Scored over 1811m at Aqueduct at the start of last prep. Now under the care of new trainer D Whitworth Beckman. Capable of playing a major role. RACING DRIVER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at Saratoga, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be prominent. DILGER (7) lines up for the first time since October 25. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1408m at Saratoga. Has found the right race and is worth including. SECURED LANDING (5) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Saratoga (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by a nose last time out over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Entire back from a spell of 11 months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign second last of 11 at Keeneland in the G3 Fayette Stakes October 25 over 1811m, 24 len behind Hit Show with 55.5kg at $40.57. When resuming last campaign third of 11 at Saratoga August 2 2025 over 1408m, 3.5 len behind Hold My Bourbon with 56kg at $5.10. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
