Belmont Park Race 3 - Iroquois S. Stakes
MUNNINGS EXPRESS (3) is a talented filly who was tested in tougher class last time when fourth over 1308m in the G2 Gallant Bloom Handicap at this track (Dirt). Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and shapes as a key contender. KAY CUP (6) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being prominent at the turn to score by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. QUEENS CAT (1) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. VENETTA (5) lines up for the first time since August 21. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1308m at Aqueduct. One to consider.

Form hard to fault. Last start ran second last in a small field in the G2 Gallant Bloom Handicap at this track on October 1 over 1308m, 8 len behind R Disaster carrying 56kg at $8.99. The start before that won by 1.75 len in Listed grade at Saratoga at Saratoga on August 5 over 1408m defeating Landed carrying 56kg at $6.75. Deserves another chance.
