Verdict: MILA CANDY has an obvious shout. She is taken to put her experience to good use against the newcomers and finished runner-up on her first start attempt, while Yankee Doodle and Numbered could run well too.

Mila Candy

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Ilkay Kantarmaci Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 2

Comment: Went down by just just over 1l running for the first time at Aqueduct at 33-1 21 days ago; related to Stakes winner Determined Kingdom; holds major claims if replicating initial run.

Numbered

Jockey: John Velazquez Trainer: Todd Pletcher Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire's stock can be smart performers; nicely bred (by Nyquist); Todd Pletcher newcomers always need to be taken seriously at Belmont At The Big A; warrants respect as some good aspects to her profile and the stable is hot at the moment.

Cara's Chianti

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Mitchell Friedman Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Having first race; stable not renowned for getting debutant winners; this one is best watched, unless market signals suggest otherwise.

Yankee Doodle

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Trainer gets debut winners here; related to Grade 2 winner Taxed.

Sporting Lady

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: Keri Brion Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 72-

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Hold Tight and this daughter of Munnings looks the part on breeding; good effort when close up (Colonial Downs) in August in a maiden special weight; back from an absence here.

Shirl's Delight

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Carlos Martin Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 3-3222

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 14; beaten narrowly (Aqueduct) upped to 1m1f last month in a maiden special weight; not been able to get her head in front lately so others are preferred.

Comment: Had two of these in arrears when in front by 2l (Aqueduct) in a claimer last month; better than this level in her prime and has recently run well at this venue; entitled to respect.

Floge

Comment: Finished third, beaten 10l, in an optional claimer in front of Goldcrest in February at Aqueduct upped to this trip; successful seven times from 31 career runs and from a powerful trainer; yard going well a plus; has proven capable of posting bigger numbers than these rivals so big chance.

Verdict: VERY SATISFACTORY comes here off the back of a fair effort last time and can't be faulted for consistency. John The Baptist should also be taken seriously.

Spirit Dragon

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: John Kimmel Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -

Comment: Related to 6f winner Buckingham Prince; makes competitive race debut; whether he'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so the advice is to watch the betting.

Very Satisfactory

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 2222

Comment: Couldn't quite get the job done when 10-11 runner-up (Aqueduct, bobbled at the start) 36 days ago in a maiden claimer; has kicked on in his last couple of races and admirably consistent; recent display was promising so he is a serious player.

John The Baptist

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Mark Hennig Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 89-353

Comment: Yet to win, defeats are stacking up but has shown some recent improvement; not disgraced when third two months ago at Gulfstream Park in a maiden claimer; prospects as lower claiming tag should make this easier and his recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Was held in fourth when close behind Her Sugar Baby at Aqueduct 20 days ago in a maiden claimer; signs of improvement on last two runs and has proven competitive in a race of this nature; should be on the premises as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Looks First

Jockey: Favinho Pino Villa Trainer: Roshan Samsundar Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 457667

Comment: Last of seven when close behind Despo's Dream (dropped back to 6f, broke in air at the start) in a claimer last week; not always shown an awful lot since winning a claimer at Aqueduct in January; now eased in the grades (in for $17.5k); probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Despo's Dream

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Robert Johnston Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 8515

Comment: Can be a player at this level; creditable fifth, beaten just over 3l, of seven over 6f here (claimer) last Thursday on debut for this trainer; tag drops from $30k to $17.5k here; should be in the mix as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively and shown she can get her head in front.

Rock The Weekend

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: Lolita Shivmangal Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 1-6361

Comment: Caused a 10-1 surprise when landing Aqueduct allowance optional claimer (sloppy track) last month; managed three wins in his last seven outings; winning form over C&D; now over an extra 1f.

Kolomio

Jockey: Tba Rider Trainer: Charlton Baker Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 31-162

Comment: Wasn't beaten that far when runner-up (beaten a nose) 16 days ago at Aqueduct in an allowance optional claimer; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a sixth win).

Thrill Of It

Jockey: Tba Rider Trainer: J Terranova Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: -656

Comment: All his winning form has come at Aqueduct (four successes) but one-time useful performer; unable to land a blow when sixth of seven in a claimer at Tampa Bay Downs two months ago; tag unchanged at $50k.

Skylander

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Gregory Charlerie Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 1-633

Comment: Beaten 11l in third in an optional claimer at Aqueduct on his debut for this trainer (dropped to 6f) last month; smart performer at one stage and has won three times over C&D; tried over an additional 2f now.

Belmont At The Big A

22:16

Runners: 11 Distance: 0m 6f 0y

Race Predictor

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: LONG LEGGED QUEEN is a strong pick. She appeals based on the strength of her latest effort, while Trulli Magic, Lackadaisical and Silsbee could also have a say.

Silsbee

Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr Trainer: George Weaver Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 5-

Comment: Held on her debut in September over C&D; Vekoma gets winners on the turf; returns from a layoff here; likely to be in contention as entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and she didn't get much luck in running last time.

Froghollowsummer

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Carlos Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 60-

Comment: Tailed off in October in a maiden special weight; this just her third race; returns from a layoff; makes limited appeal.

Lady Delilah

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: James Ferraro Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 400-

Comment: Finished out the back in blinkers six months ago in a maiden special weight upped to 1m½f; related to Stakes winner High Limit Room but this now her fifth attempt to get off the mark; encouraging jockey booking; returns from an absence here; easy enough to take on.

Lackadaisical

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Amelia Green Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Having her first start in public; capable of making an impact as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Olivia's Grace

Jockey: Shaun Bridgmohan Trainer: Melanie Giddings Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to Accabonac Harbor, winning form over 5½f-1m½f; sire gets turf winners; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so a look at the betting is advised.

Widdershins

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Amira Chichakly Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 9

Comment: Didn't offer much on her debut (at Aqueduct over this distance, wore blinkers) at 50-1 last month; could show the benefit for having a run under their belts as others from the stable have in the past; could improve from her debut but will need to.

Wild Mischief

Comment: Held when sixth beaten 10l at Aqueduct in February in a maiden special weight; should go close as shown promise on occasion.

Jalimar

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: Carlos Martin Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; related to Vettriano, winning form over 6½f-1m; others look more obvious on paper; market could reveal prospects.

Trulli Magic

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: George Weaver Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: -339

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 6l in ninth) in a maiden special weight (dwelt at the start) at Aqueduct six weeks ago; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; has shown signs of promise here and there and has to be high on list.

Long Legged Queen

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Joseph Lee Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 27-25

Comment: Has displayed improved form on last two starts; respectable fifth (Aqueduct) two months ago in a maiden optional claimer; plenty of appeal despite moving up in class and lots of promise in her latest performance.

Miss Uproar
