Belmont Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
AND THE RUNNER IS (4) was safely held last time when 11th over 1710m in the G2 Pilgrim Stakes at this track (Turf) albeit against tougher opposition. Should settle handy in the run. Likely to feature. RIVER OF DECEIT (9) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1308m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf), making it three minor placings in a row. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. CAPTAIN CODY (1) has been in the placings three times from three starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 1609m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf) when 0.8 lengths from the winner. Drawn much better this time so he is a leading hope. NODIN (10) finished 11 lengths away in ninth at his last appearance over 1710m at this track (Turf) on October 8 after he was well back on straightening. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.

Resuming after a three months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Saratoga July 31 over 1106m, 19 len behind Wood Island with 56kg at $7.53. On debut fourth of 9 at Aqueduct Turf June 18 over 1106m, 6 len behind Arctic Wolf with 56kg at $5.36. Hard to recommend.
