Belmont Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
HYPNOTICA (1) wasn't far off maiden success before a 11 weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Saratoga (Dirt). Re-unites with Flavien Prat. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. RUNYON CANYON (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Belmont Park, beaten 7 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. IFWEONLYHAVELOVE (6) finished midfield when resuming from a break last time out over 2012m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf) when well in the market. Will drift back but wind up late. Among the main hopes. FLYING HAWLEY (7) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Belmont Park, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Well placed to make amends.
