Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Optional Claiming
SOUTHERN KISS (10) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Saratoga Turf (Turf) over 1106m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see her run well. AVALON BEACH (1) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. R KAN'T MISS (9) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf seven weeks ago. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind her. SO ANGELINA (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at Belmont Park. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last of 11 at Saratoga on August 22 over 1308m, 54 len behind Forever Carina carrying 56kg at $42.67. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Belmont Park on October 2 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Smoted with 56kg at $48.87. The run before that ran second last of 7 at Belmont Park on September 25 over 1207m, 20 len behind Beauty Truth Good with 56kg at $33.66. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out.

Last start 4th in a small field at Saratoga Turf on August 27 over 1106m, 7 len behind Brickyard Belle with 56kg at $4.11. Capable of a strong showing.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 9 at Ellis Park Turf on July 19 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind Holiday Weekend carrying 54kg at $3.76. Second-up 3rd of 7 at Saratoga Turf on August 14 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Early Autumn with 56kg at $1.91. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
