Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PARTY IN THE ARMY (8) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ONEBIGBEAUTFULBILL (4) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1207m at Saratoga to kick off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. WHAT'S UP BRO (1) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. VEKINDA (3) won at Saratoga (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
