Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

SHAPE NOTE (7) has 13 wins and eight minor placings from 29 runs this preparation. Scored last start by 0.8 lengths at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) over 1106m after being up on the pace all the way. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. BITE AND STRIKE (4) finished 4 lengths back in fifth in stakes company last time over 1106m in stakes class at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Did win two back by half a length at Saratoga (Dirt). Jose Lezcano who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. BILLIONAIRES ROW (3) was safely held last time when seventh over 1106m at Listed level at Saratoga Turf (Turf) albeit against tougher opposition. Well placed and is among the leading players. MISSION IMPROBABLE (5) scored last start at Kentucky (Turf) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Going well and is not to be discounted.
