Belmont Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Optional Claiming
STORM DIVA (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 11 lengths into fifth over 1207m at Keeneland. Strips fitter and can feature. ZIPLINE (7) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 9 lengths away in seventh over 1609m at Belmont Park Turf. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is set to turn things around. RIVER STREET LASS (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Likely improver who is among the better chances. GOOD TO GREAT (11) had support on debut last time out when she boxed on fairly to finish sixth, beaten 5 lengths over 1509m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf). Strong top-three chance.
