Belmont Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
FOOLIN (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Saratoga Turf (Turf) over 1106m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. DONEGAL LUSTER (5) is on debut for the Todd Pletcher stable. Two-year-old colt by City Of Light from Rehearsed. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. MISSION INTEGRITY (4) debuted a month ago when it finished fifth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt), beaten 17 lengths. Worth following up. JOVEN (6) is facing the starter for the first time. By Good Magic and is out of the Danny Gargan stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 8 at Saratoga on July 25 over 1207m, 6 len behind Grand Yaupon with 56kg at $4.17. Second-up 3rd in a small field at Saratoga Turf on August 30 over 1106m, 4.5 len behind Cactus Closer with 56kg at $2.63. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Was at long odds at debut, ran second last of 12 at Saratoga on September 7 over 1207m, 23 len behind Dargham carrying 56kg at $33.37. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Two-year-old colt (Nyquist - Fragrance) making his debut. Should be ready to fire.
