Belmont At The Big A Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GETTING SERIOUS (2) resumes after a break but showed promise last campaign, winning at Aqueduct over 1710m before a solid 3rd at Gulfstream Park in stronger grade. SWISS MOON (4) is a dual winner in France, including a dominant win at La Teste De Buch, and can improve off a forgive run on heavy ground last start. SALT PRINCESS (8) broke through at Aqueduct over 1710m last time and has a consistent record at this track. PROTECTIVE CUSTODY (9) comes off a close 3rd at Laurel Park and has been competitive at this distance. HIDDEN ROSE (3) is lightly raced and won well at Delaware Park two back. These look the key hopes.
