Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
EMERALD EMBER (7) was a placegetter on dirt over 1106m at Saratoga two back but missed the frame on turf over 1207m at Belmont Park Inner Turf last time. Looks a top chance switching back to dirt. EXPECTO PATRONUM (2) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1408m at this track. Race sets up well for her. MARGARITA MOLLY (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1509m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is one of the main contenders. AMELIA'S ECHO (1) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
