Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
RICHIES LOVE (7) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TWENTY ONE RED (11) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to hold out. ENGRAVED (3) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth on debut at Saratoga Turf the run before. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. AGGRESSION (8) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when eighth at this track (Turf) over 1811m, beaten 7 lengths. Can improve and is a top-three chance.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, eased back early on 6th of 8 at Saratoga Turf on August 19 over 1106m, 6 len behind True Legend with 55.5kg at $4.93. Second-up 10th of 12 at Saratoga Inner Turf on September 6 over 1609m, 9 len behind Ohonte's Own carrying 55.5kg at $9.65. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
