Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
VALTELLINA (4) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back in the G2 Shuvee Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths after being prominent at the turn. No reason she cannot salute again. AEOLIAN (5) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on July 24 and finished sixth behind Fully Subscribed over 1811m in the G2 Shuvee Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Best figures should see her run well. CONCURRENTLY (1) finished third last start over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. DECADENT (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1509m at Colonial Downs (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Last start won by 2.25 len at Saratoga on August 20 over 1609m defeating Boxed Wine carrying 57kg at $1.39. Before that ran second last in a small field in the G2 Shuvee Stakes at Saratoga on July 24 over 1811m, 10 len behind Fully Subscribed with 54.5kg at $16.43. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.

Filly returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation when last in a small field at Saratoga in the G2 Shuvee Stakes July 24 over 1811m, 12 len behind Fully Subscribed with 54.5kg at $13.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.3 len Aqueduct June 27 over 1609m defeating She's Grand carrying 57kg at $2.10. Could prove too smart for these.
