Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
AMIRA'S STAR (1) stepped out on her debut over 1811m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Synthetic) five-and-a-half weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 14 lengths. Expected to be in the finish with the addition of blinkers. COPPER CADUCEUS (3) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. MIDNIGHT BLUE (10) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 0.6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. CHAUMET (5) finished 6 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1811m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) on September 6. In the mix.
