Belmont Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
SALT SPARTAN (1) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a second over 1408m at Belmont Park Turf (Turf). Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. COME FULL CIRCLE (8) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Saratoga (Dirt) before finishing second, beaten 10 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. SMILENSAYCHEESE (7) last appeared two weeks ago over 1609m at this track when he finished second. This is his first run for the James Ferraro stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims. WHO'S YOUR ZADDY (2) ran below expectations last time at Saratoga (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 29 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 11 at Belmont Park Turf on September 24 over 1408m, 1.0 len behind Counter Move carrying 56kg at $5.78. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 27 over 1710m, 1.5 len behind In The Dark carrying 57kg at $6.09. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Comes off a 54 day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Saratoga on August 14 over 1609m, 29 len behind Stickupwithoutagun carrying 56kg at $4.65. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Saratoga on July 31 over 1811m, 1.75 len behind First Call Bob with 55kg at $7.10. Genuine chance this time around.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran second last of 8 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 27 over 1207m, 11 len behind Super Dave with 55kg at $13.50. Last start won by 5.5 len at Saratoga on August 6 over 1408m defeating Always Honest with 55.5kg at $3.30. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
