Belmont At The Big A

18:10

Runners: 7 Distance: 1m 0f 0y

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: SANTAGATA is top of the list. She takes the eye from a recent form perspective (scored last time) and is bidding for her second course success. Carol Said No and Harlan's Bond can't be ruled out either.

Fast Kimmie

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Philip Serpe Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 531-6

Comment: Behind Harlan's Bond in a claimer at Aqueduct when finishing last of six last month; down in class now, dropping from a $25k tag; others have more pressing claims.

Carol Said No

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Ilkay Kantarmaci Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 1-31454

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth over 6½f at Aqueduct (claimer) last month; all her winning form has come at Aqueduct (two successes); claiming tag rises to $17.5k here; likely player as is no stranger to the winners' enclosure.

Santagata

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Horacio De Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: -0771

Comment: Belied 9-1 price in a claimer (Aqueduct) upped to this trip five weeks ago; track has proven suitable before; on target twice in her last five outings; although up in class she appears to be in top form so likely to be a contender.

Harlan's Bond

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Gustavo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 7-2636

Comment: Useful at this level and string of consistent efforts of late; fair effort when beaten 4l three weeks ago in a claimer; eased in class with tag standing at $17.5k here; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so could be thereabouts.

Amity Island

Jockey: Favinho Pino Villa Trainer: Eddie Persaud Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 4857-

Comment: Beaten seventh of eight in October in an allowance optional claimer; infrequent winner and no longer appears to be improving; returns from a break today; unlikely to pose a threat as vastly reduced claiming tag raises a question mark.

Dolce Sera

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Edward Delauro Age/Wt: 6/8-12 F: 453244

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 6l, sloppy track) two weeks ago in a claimer; not a frequent winner and could be at the extent of her ability; easy to oppose.

Soul Secret

Jockey: Francisco Martinez Trainer: Wayne Potts Age/Wt: 3/8-3 F: 8-5181

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from her last three; narrow success in a claimer (Aqueduct) six weeks ago; tag has been raised to $17.5k; hard to ignore.

Mackville

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: Wayne Potts Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 9-4642

Comment: Beaten 12l into runner-up (6f) in a claimer (Aqueduct) with One Vision and Western Wolf behind last month; producing fairly consistent form; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); claiming value now rises to $17.5k.

Brave Bear

Jockey: Ruben Silvera Trainer: Mitchell Friedman Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 1-55447

Comment: Beaten 10l when seventh of nine a week ago upped to 1m½f in an optional claimer; now down in class (in for $17.5k from $50k); definitely of interest as shown he can win fairly recently.

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Bruce Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 16

Comment: Beaten 15l in sixth in an optional claimer (Aqueduct) last month; not had much racing - third outing here; claiming value now drops to $17.5k; warrants respect if excused most recent run as achieved maiden claimer success two runs back and shown he can get his head in front.

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Oscar Barrera III Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 7135

Comment: Beaten 16l in fifth in a claimer at Aqueduct (split Mackville and Western Wolf) last month; deeper waters here (in for $17.5k here, $16k tag last time); shown he can win fairly recently and likely to be involved.

Shakin The Belle

Jockey: Favinho Pino Villa Trainer: R Rodriguez Age/Wt: 5/8-13 F: 3-621

Comment: Best form so far in last two starts; scored by 2½l at Aqueduct over 6f (maiden claimer) opening his account in March; in for a $17.5k tag so down in class ($20k last time); despite that Aqueduct success, easy enough to take on.

Dialbolico

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Jena Antonucci Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 7-63221

Comment: Got home in front by 1½l, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking (Aqueduct) last month in a maiden claimer; has displayed improved form on last two starts; in for a $17.5k tag so down in class ($20k last time); the yard has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; likely to go well.

Jockey: Dylan Davis Trainer: Bruce Brown Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 475-

Comment: Not beaten that far in fifth (5l, Aqueduct) in November in an allowance race; returns from an absence here; Dylan Davis will be looking to further their good record; needs to be respected if replicating best previous efforts.

Welcome Back Babe

Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche Trainer: Michelle Nevin Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: U39-14

Comment: Close up behind Toxic Girl when fourth three weeks ago in a claimer; stepped up on her last two starts; $35k claiming tag this time (up from $30k); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this could be a hot race.

Shock

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Bruce Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 9-741

Comment: Caused a surprise when landing a maiden claimer over this distance by 7l (muddy track) at Aqueduct 41 days ago; stepping out of a maiden claimer and this looks tougher so hard to fancy.

Comment: Just the one victory on her CV; problems at the start (bumped) in an optional claimer when fourth beaten 2½l three weeks ago; in with a shout if reproducing most recent effort and she can cope with this step up in class.

Big Gain

Jockey: Joel Rosario Trainer: Dan Ward Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 12071

Comment: Successful twice in his last five starts; won with something to spare back down to 6f (muddy track) at Oaklawn Park last month in a claimer; although up in class he appears to be in top form so has to be considered.

Comment: Related to Stakes winner Otello; gave good account to finish third last month (Keeneland) in an allowance race; should be in the mix as plenty to like about workout a week ago and he can handle the step up in class.

Mischievous Trick

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Gary Sciacca Age/Wt: 3/8-6 F: 0646-

Comment: Still searching for first win after four tries; could not manage better than sixth at Aqueduct in December in a maiden claimer; now moved up in the grades (in for $50k); layoff to overcome; makes limited appeal.

Fauve

Jockey: Ricardo Jr Santana Trainer: Christophe Clement Age/Wt: 3/8-6

Comment: Related to 1m½f winner Sainte Chapelle; from a stable with a solid record with debutants; Munnings gets winners on the turf; ought to give it a shot with signs of encouragement in profile and the yard is hot at the moment.

Addagirl Addie

Jockey: Javier Castellano Trainer: Gustavo Rodriguez Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 0678-

Comment: Generally struggled of late but she can be competitive at this level; eighth of ten beaten 16l in November dropped down to 7f at Aqueduct in a maiden claimer; returns from a layoff here; claiming value rises from $30k last time; she's an attractive contender.
