Belmont Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
A LITTLE AT FIRST (10) in the placings last few runs, finishing second at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) last time out but starting to prove costly. Rates well on recent form and can break through this time. SMOOTH BREEZE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fifth over 1710m at Belmont Park Turf three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. JACK AND JIM (2) finished 1.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf two months ago. Steps up in distance today. Strong top-three chance. INSPEIGHTOFCHARLIE (7) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Belmont Park Turf, clocking in 2 lengths from the winner. Strong top-three chance.

Most recently 10th of 12 at Belmont Park Turf on September 18 over 1710m, 12 len behind Conman carrying 57kg at $67.72. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 16 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Funny Factor with 57kg at $30.19. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Belmont Park Turf on September 18 over 1710m, 1.3 len behind Conman with 55.5kg at $3.33. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 in stakes class at Saratoga Inner Turf at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 20 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Chummers carrying 55.5kg at $2.66. Best form should see him measure right up.
