Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
SPINNING CLASS (4) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 6 lengths over 1710m at this track (Turf). Will be better for that latest run and is a great chance to get the prize again. BERTRILLE (8) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Hard to go past. GRISELDA (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. GREYJOY (11) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation fourth of 10 at Colonial Downs Turf July 26 over 1710m, 3 len behind Lendalfoot with 56kg at $6. Previously first up; second of 8 at Laurel Turf April 26 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Nick's Notion carrying 56kg at $5.30. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 4th of 11 at this track on October 7 over 1609m, 8 len behind Ori carrying 57kg at $10.85. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at Saratoga Turf on September 5 over 1710m, 3 len behind Ori carrying 57kg at $17.33. Can make amends.
