Belmont At The Big A Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
BEAU'S BELLA (7) sets a clear standard after a solid 3rd at Aqueduct over 1308m, sitting handy and beaten 4L, and looks suited rising in trip. AMAZING GRACER (8) appeals as a key chance with 3 starts for 2 placings and a placing at this track. ENCANTAR (10) resumes; her Saratoga debut campaign featured a 2nd over 1207m before a forgive run when 6th. FELIXYN (6) was 5th over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs and can improve second up at a similar trip.
