Belmont At The Big A Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
TWENTY ONE RED (10) brings the best exposed form, twice runner-up at Aqueduct in February over 1408m and 1609m before a solid 4th over 1207m on April 26, and stretches back out in a maiden claimer. NONNO JOE (7) has competitive 1710m efforts here, including a close 4th beaten 0.6L in Oct 2025 and was handy before fading to 6th over 1710m on May 1. DEACON BLUES (12) has two recent Aqueduct placings at 1207–1308m and could improve rising in trip. BIG FROSTY (4) resumes and was 9th over 1710m here on debut but draws better. Sparse early speed is suggested by recent in‑run positions, which could favor those settling close to the pace such as Twenty One Red (10) and Nonno Joe (7).

Second-up after a 56-day break and draws better in barrier 2. Last start 6th of 6 at Aqueduct over 1207m on 22 Mar, beaten 12.1L on fast going at $14 with 57kg after settling last. Steps up in trip (+502m) and keeps Reylu Gutierrez for Robert Ribaudo. Needs sharp improvement but has place claims with a softer run.
