Belmont Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Optional Claiming
POLL POSITION (10) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf). Expected to go well. GOODPROBLEMTOHAVE (2) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage seventh last start, beaten 12 lengths over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Well placed and happy to have her on top. CHEYENNE'S SASS (3) stepped out on her debut over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) a month ago and finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. QUEEN OF PROMISE (9) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1106m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Likely improver worth including.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Colonial Downs Turf on August 22 over 1106m, nose behind Millford Lass carrying 54kg at $8.70. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Colonial Downs on July 22 over 1006m, 9 len behind Master Queen carrying 54kg at $6.10. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
