Belmont At The Big A Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
PHANTOM BLUE (4) Narrowly beaten last run at Churchill Downs. Dylan Davis and William Walden make a formidable team. Should jump out and bowl along. Take beating. LONG TERM MARKET (5) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Flavien Prat is a crucial engagement. Rates well in this race. DR GLICK (2) Resuming from a break. Couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last run at Tampa Bay Downs. Has the talent to rebound quickly and drawn nicely. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. FULL OF TACT (1) Improved late to finish 5th last time around here and has the ideal gate. Should be swooping on the field late. Watch betting.

Hit the line well when 5th last time at this venue and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Finishes off strongly. Could not recommend in this.

Resumes after a spell. Started at $7.50 and weakened to finish 5th last run at Tampa Bay Downs. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Will go close.

Back from a 37 week break. Odds of $10.00 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run here and fitter for debut run. Would rather look at others.

Just short of the win last run at Churchill Downs. Won't be far away during the run. Jockey Dylan Davis and trainer William Walden go well together. Winning potential.

Did well when 2nd last start at this venue and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early toe. Flavien Prat is a key booking. Among the main chances.
