Belmont Park Race 6 - Athenia S. Stakes
GRAYOSH (7) did a good job last start to finish third at Listed level at Laurel Turf (Turf) over 1811m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from five starts. Should be hard to stop. STORM MIAMI (1) safely held last start when beaten 4 lengths into seventh over 2012m in the G2 Flower Bowl Invitational at this track (Turf). Can bounce back. MISCHIEF IN MOTION (2) got the job done last start in stakes class at Laurel Turf (Turf) over this distance after she was in the firing line on the turn. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. ONTARIO (3) ran well below her best last time over 1811m in Listed grade at Woodbine, beaten 4 lengths into fourth at $2.20. Best figures too good to ignore.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 7th of 11 in the G2 Flower Bowl Invitational at this track on October 1 over 2012m, 4 len behind Kathynmarissa carrying 57kg at $18.72. The race before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 in the G3 Waya Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 28 over 2213m, 0.8 len behind Evershed carrying 56kg at $3.31. Capable of more – worth another chance.
