Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
LOUGH CURRANE (1) was in the money two starts back at Saratoga then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be thereabouts early. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. ACE IN HAND (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1408m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. SUMMER OF GEORGE (7) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten 22 lengths into fifth. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. CRUISIN CROSSBAY (6) returns from a spell of ten months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1710m when first-up last time in work.
