Belmont Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
ICE CHOCOLAT (1) finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at this track after being prominent at the corner three weeks ago as $3.21 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. BELOUNI (5) lines up on the back of a 2.25 lengths fifth over 1710m at Saratoga Turf. Race sets up well for him. HEATHGUARD (7) ran a strong second over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) two runs back then was below his best last time over 2213m when fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Kept fresh since that last run so is capable of a lot more this time. RAMBLIN' WRECK (6) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when ninth over 2213m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Makes plenty of appeal.

The run before that from last on the turn 6th of 10 at Saratoga Turf on September 4 over 1106m, 4 len behind Spiced Up with 57kg at $9.50. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start 5th of 8 at Saratoga Inner Turf on September 6 over 2213m, 9 len behind Market Timing carrying 57kg at $22.10. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 26 over 1710m, 1.3 len behind Unit Economics carrying 55kg at $10.42. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
