Belmont Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
MONACO CROWN (4) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing ninth over 1609m at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) last start. Deserves another chance. PAREA (5) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Nicely placed and expected to go well. TARTAH (1) missed the placings on debut two runs back then got a long way back last start when 17 lengths away in seventh over 1207m at Belmont Park. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SHAKE MY HAND (8) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing seventh at Belmont Park (Synthetic) over 1207m, beaten 9 lengths. Don't underestimate.

At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Belmont Park on October 23 over 1207m, 4 len behind Mcmoon carrying 56kg at $5.24. The run before that ran second last of 12 at this track on September 20 over 1207m, 14 len behind Soldier's Glory with 56kg at $31.14. Hard to envisage a win today.

Having third race start. At debut, ran last of 10 at Saratoga on August 27 over 1308m, 28 len behind Covered Option carrying 56kg at $15.48. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Belmont Park on October 7 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Uncle Gene with 56kg at $11.39. Will prove tough to beat.
