Belmont Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

CRITERIA (1) accounted for a maiden field over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) last start, finishing 2.5 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Capable of taking the next step. DR RUBEN M (7) scored an impressive win by 5 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and this looks well within his grasp. OIL CAPITAL (2) finished third at Saratoga two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt), finishing 6 lengths back in sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHOOT THE NICKEL (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Saratoga (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 1.3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Before that 4th of 9 at Saratoga on July 18 over 1408m, 4 len behind Stimulate carrying 55.5kg at $6.46. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after three months scored a big 5 len win at Ellis Park on August 15 over 1308m defeating Ship Ship Hooray with 55.5kg at $6.91. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and scored a big 10 len win at Mahoning Valley on February 20 over 1609m defeating The Chalk carrying 56kg. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Improver with winning prospects.
