Belmont Park Race 8 - Awad S. Stakes
TITAN READY (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1308m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf) last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. RIYADH WAY (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1006m in stakes class at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf), getting home by 1.75 lengths. Winning rider Heriberto Figueroa retains the mount. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. MORE CHAMPAGNE (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1207m in the G3 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf). Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MONETA AGENDA (8) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 17 lengths, over 1710m at Laurel Turf. Should run very well.
