Belmont Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
BATTLE WINNER (1) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf, an improvement on her seventh at Aqueduct Turf the run before. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. KEY ACTRESS (3) finished 1.3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1106m at Saratoga Turf six-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and is expected to feature. DEVILISH GRIN (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 3 lengths into eighth at her latest appearance over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Blinkers come off. Expected to be competitive. RAGING BLOOM (12) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten a nose, over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf. Backmarker who gets home hard. Deserves respect on best figures.
