Belmont Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HULLABALOO RAY RAY (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is likely to feature in the finish again. RHYTHM RIOT (1) impressed last time with a 2.25 lengths win at this track (Dirt) over this journey. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Expected to feature. BANDMASTER (5) resumes after a break of nine weeks. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1106m at Aqueduct to kick off last prep. Winning chance while fresh. ITS SATURDAY NIGHT (2) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 4 lengths last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Not to be discounted.
