Belmont At The Big A Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TOUGH STREET (5) Good run when placing 2nd last time around here but facing stiffer opposition. Manuel Franco does know the horse very well. Expect to go close. FAST AND FRISKY (4) Faded to finish 4th last run here. Happy to overlook that run but up against tougher opponents. Displays good tactical speed. First start for a new trainer. Underrated. MALU (3) Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 4 1/2L last time around here but stepping up to a higher level. Should get going late. Must respect in this event. SWEETEST PRINCESS (6) Struggled with the pace when 6th last run at this track. Should improve from the last run but challenged by a tougher grade. Racing for a new trainer. Include in chances.

Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at the track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Others are more appealing.

Right in contention last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Finishes off strongly. Great to see jockey Jaime Rodriguez taking the ride. Risky betting proposition.

Nice effort when placing 2nd last time here but testing ability against stronger contenders. Will be trying to topple them late. Definite claims for punters.

Was $6.00 and weakened under pressure when 4th last run here. Happy to overlook that run but matched against a stronger field. First race for a new trainer. Can take this out.

Jumped at $8.00 and looked outclassed when 6th last run here. Should improve from the last run but taking on stronger opponents. Change in trainer. Looks a nice proposition.
