Belmont Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
ICE CHOCOLAT (8) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) with success as public elect over 1710m at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. CLASSIC CREATION (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1710m at Belmont Park Turf after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CLEAR CONSCIENCE (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1811m at this track (Turf). Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. AMERICAN GRANT (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1710m at Belmont Park (Dirt). Worth including.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start ran last in a small field at this track on October 7 over 2112m, 12 len behind Iron Sight carrying 57kg at $54.58. Before that 8th of 11 at Belmont Park on September 24 over 1609m, 12 len behind Pineapple Man carrying 57kg at $2.82. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Last start 3rd in a small field at Belmont Park Turf on October 10 over 1710m, 1.5 len behind Ice Chocolat with 56kg at $11.66. The race before that ran second last of 8 at Saratoga on September 7 over 1609m, 16 len behind Bernin Hot with 55kg at $55.15. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Most recently 2nd in a small field at Belmont Park Turf on October 10 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Ice Chocolat carrying 56kg at $13.96. The run before that ran second last of 7 at Saratoga Turf on August 23 over 1710m, 8 len behind Conman carrying 55kg at $19.26. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by 0.5 len at Belmont Park Turf on October 10 over 1710m defeating Classic Creation with 57kg at $1.84. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Belmont Park Turf on September 19 over 1408m, 8 len behind Fond Farewell carrying 57kg at $3.21. Impressed last start and can go on with it.
