Belmont At The Big A Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
SAMARTINA (6) Resumes from a break of 29 weeks. Didn't attack the line when 7th last time at Woodbine. Can make a comeback. Flavien Prat rates highly aboard. Looks promising in this race. DIMENSIONALITY (1) Passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last time at this track and gets the perfect stall. Respect. KEY ACTRESS (4) Outgunned at the finish when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at this venue. Shows good early pace. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SLICEAWAY (7) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at Gulfstream Park. May see an upturn in form. Strong each way hope.

Odds of $9.00 and crept into 5th last time at the track and has minimal work to do from the draw. Should go very close.

Back from a break. Started $53.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last run at Gulfstream Park. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.
