Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
FORECHECK (6) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three weeks ago, beaten 0.8 lengths at the end of 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Likely improver so she will prove tough to beat. ALL STAR LEIGH (5) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. NIGHT SKY (9) was lining up for just the second time last start when fifth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf, beaten 1.0 lengths. Has good early pace. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. COMETS CHOICE (10) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 10 at Saratoga Turf on July 16 over 1106m, 4 len behind Extravaganzoo carrying 56kg at $4.56. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Saratoga Turf on August 9 over 1106m, 1.5 len behind Saint Dymphna with 56kg at $2.18. Impressive of late. Right in the mix again.
