Belmont Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
I'M WORTHY (4) is back from a break of ten weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fourth over 1811m at Saratoga (Dirt). Has found the right race. LEXINGTON PIKE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf five weeks ago. This is a nice drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. WHITBY (10) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Saratoga (Dirt) before finishing third, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. REBALANCING (5) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 16 lengths, after a win at Saratoga at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
