Belmont At The Big A Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
THE TOY CANNON (2) brings the most reliable recent sprint form here, having won over 1207m at Aqueduct in January before a 2nd at the same trip, and drops back from two longer runs. MOMENTUM FILES (5) was a Laurel 1106m winner in March and boxed on for 5th at Aqueduct over 1308m last start, so the cut back can suit. CONSTANT CHAOS (6) resumes after a Finger Lakes 1207m maiden win and is unexposed. ICAN (3) has been below his best this season but owns prior Aqueduct placings and shortens up in trip.
