Belmont At The Big A Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
DARK ASSAULT (3) brings the most reliable exposed form, including 2nd over 1207m at Aqueduct by 0.3L and a last start 3rd at Gulfstream Park over 1207m, beaten 3L, and looks ready for the step to 1609m. SILVER TALENT (1) resumes at a mile after a debut 5th at Aqueduct over 1308m when well in the market and draws the rail for Flavien Prat. MOON ON FIRE (6) has shown early pace and adds blinkers after a 5th at Aqueduct over 1408m. CHESS MATCH (4) was 4th over this trip at Aqueduct two starts back and can be thereabouts in a reduced field.
