Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming
MATH TUTOR (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to take care of this field. TARTABULL (3) has switched yards since finishing second eight weeks ago over 1207m at Saratoga. Definite winning chance in this line-up. SEA VISTA (6) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to make amends. HELMET OF WILL (2) is returning from a spell of a year. Finished eighth at Kentucky (Turf) over 1308m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer B H Cox.
