Belmont At The Big A Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
RIGHT TIMING (3) Won with a leg in the air by 4 1/4L last run at this venue and solid career start. Has plenty of early speed. Flavien Prat rates highly aboard. Genuine winning chance. GETTING SERIOUS (7) Did well to run 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L last start at the track and facing a weaker group of contenders. Putting a tidy record together so far. Goes close. ABIGAIL (2) First up after 9 weeks and won by a huge margin of 3L first up last preparation at Tampa Bay Downs. Taking on a lower class of opponents. Won't be far away. MERMAID (5) Dictated the tempo when winning by 1 1/2L last run at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. This field suits.

Started at $36.00 and well beaten when 7th last run at Gulfstream Park but facing weaker opposition. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can save some energy from the stall. Remote chance at best.
