Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

CAPTAIN COOK (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on January 24, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths over 1811m in the G1 Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts him right in this. VETTRIANO (3) finished eighth last start, beaten 4 lengths, over 1106m at Saratoga Turf. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from three starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. TWO EAGLES RIVER (6) registered a strong win at Saratoga two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing second over 1207m at Saratoga, beaten a nose. Nicely placed to take this out. MISCHIEVOUS M (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when second over 1207m at Saratoga, beaten 4.5 lengths. In contention this time. Something for the Multiples: GATE TO WIRE (9)
