Belmont Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
JOKER ON FIRE (5) continued a frustrating run for connections when a close second over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) last time. Genuine performer so he gets his chance. STORMY BIRTHDAY (9) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.5 lengths back in fourth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from six starts and is sure to play a big role. TRUE LEGEND (6) was an effortless maiden winner when resuming last time out over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), scoring by 2 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Manuel Franco who was on board last start. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. LIGHT FANTASTIC (7) scored last start at Saratoga Turf (Turf) to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 27 over 1710m, 3 len behind Final Denile with 55kg at $22.19. The run before that ran second last of 7 in Listed grade at Saratoga Turf at Saratoga Turf on July 24 over 1710m, 17 len behind Chummers with 54.5kg at $23.85. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after nine months ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at Saratoga Turf on August 19 over 1106m defeating Story Of Rory carrying 55.5kg at $5.23. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Aqueduct Turf on October 11 over 1207m, 4 len behind Chummers carrying 54kg at $1.60. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 9 at Saratoga Turf on August 28 over 1106m, 1.5 len behind Illmatic carrying 57kg at $14.40. The race before that 3rd of 10 at Saratoga Inner Turf on July 25 over 1609m, 0.6 len behind Jack's World carrying 57kg at $43.86. Not far from winner at his last appearance and rates highly.
