Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance
BRYANT AND COOPER (5) has two minor placings from three starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Expected to go close. PAULA'S CHOICE (3) saluted at Saratoga Turf two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fifth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf, beaten 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. STARLIGHT DANCER (4) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GALLEGA (1) won at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Well placed to make amends.

Comes here off a 44-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 12 at Saratoga Inner Turf on September 4 over 1710m, 1.3 len behind Athena's Fury with 55.5kg at $5.97. The run before that scored a big 3.5 len win at Saratoga Turf on August 19 over 1710m defeating Two Clicks with 55kg at $1.70. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
