Belmont At The Big A Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
BLAZING TIGER (4) appeals as the leading chance, having placed at both career starts including a last-start 3rd at Gulfstream Park over 1609m, beaten 1.3L. OLLIE LUKE OUT (6) was runner-up on debut at Tampa Bay Downs over 1710m, finishing 3.3L from the winner, and looks a key danger. FRANKLIN DELANO (5) resumes and was 2nd at Saratoga over 1710m last start, beaten 2.3L. Also consider the consistent Blazing Tiger (4) and the lightly raced Ollie Luke Out (6) on recent placings.
