Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

JOKER ON FIRE (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) when he was handy all the way. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. SIR WALTA (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Has the class to figure prominently. RHYTON (6) settled well back when 3 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Saratoga Turf the run before. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. B PROVOCATEUR (3) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
