Belmont At The Big A Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
RULES OF THE ROAD (6) Ran on hard when winning last run here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer William E Morey are a strong team. Will be there at the finish. HONG KONG PHOOEY (3) Couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last run here but stepping back up in distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. Matched against tougher rivals. Has the ability to figure. HARD CIRCLE (7) Stormed home to win last time at this track and back to an increased distance. Should be going forward early. Will give a big sight. KHETAM (8) Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd last time at Monmouth Park but up against a higher level of opposition. Can give this a shake.

At $12.00 didn't threaten when 6th last run at this track but back to a longer distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Gets a favourable draw. Place and exotics candidate.
