Belmont Park Race 2 - Bold Ruler S. Stakes

BUCCHERINO (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose over 1308m in Listed grade at Parx (Dirt). Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. CONTRARY THINKING (6) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing eighth over 1408m in the G3 Vosburgh Stakes at this track (Dirt) last start. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. COMMUTED (1) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2.25 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it two in a row. Will find this much tougher but he should be very competitive. SUBROGATE (4) was second up last start and went close, beaten 0.8 lengths into second at Parx (Dirt) over 1207m. Another big run is on the cards.
