Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SOCIABLY JOHNNY (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. WHITBY (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 8 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. CORVUS (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 21 when beaten 22 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1811m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MONTE AVI (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at this track on October 8 over 1609m, 8 len behind Lexington Pike carrying 57kg at $6.08. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Saratoga on September 4 over 1609m, 6 len behind Swiss Army Knife with 57kg at $18.03. Definite chance.
