Belmont Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
SCULCOS FOLLY (1) has five wins and three minor placings from eight runs this campaign. Found a couple better last start at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m after being prominent upon straightening. Genuine type with strong prospects. CALDO CANDY (5) lines up on the back of a 2.25 lengths fourth over 1207m at Saratoga. Among the leading chances. CRITERIA (6) was a dominant winner last time over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt), getting home by 2.5 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. DR RUBEN M (9) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 5 lengths over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances. Something for the Multiples: SHOOT THE NICKEL (4)

Racing well recently. Comes off a 48 day let-up. Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at Saratoga on August 13 over 1207m defeating Royal Enclosure carrying 55.5kg at $2.66. Before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Saratoga on July 18 over 1408m, 4 len behind Stimulate with 55.5kg at $4.26. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Second-up. Comes off a 46-day let-up. First-up after three months won by 5 len at Ellis Park on August 15 over 1308m defeating Ship Ship Hooray carrying 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 with 56kg. Solid top-three hope.
