Belmont Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
MOONLIT (2) was in the money at Saratoga (Dirt) when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1609m seven weeks ago. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Suited here and gets chance to break through. NOBLE GLOW (4) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt) following a minor placing at Saratoga (Dirt) when fresh from a spell the run prior. Should be in the mix. GUNS OF ROSES (6) has raced twice. Was second on debut then clocked-in 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out over 1408m at Saratoga. Has the pace to take a forward position. Leading player based on that debut performance. HEDGE BOOK (1) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
