Belmont Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

RED STATE (3) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. LEXINGTON PIKE (2) has switched yards since scoring by 5 lengths at this track over 1609m on October 8. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. MIKE'S MAGIC (4) finished fifth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2.25 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SPECIAL OPS (6) has switched yards since scoring by 1.5 lengths at this track over 1308m on September 19. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
