Belmont At The Big A Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
KRISSYS STAR (5) Made some ground late when 2nd last time at Delaware Park and have to respect the form at the trip. Displays good tactical speed. Jaime Rodriguez is a crucial engagement. Capable of taking this out. CONCURRENTLY (2) First run back from a break of 27 weeks. Improved to place when 3rd last start here and can find a nice position from the draw. Good career start. Suitably placed in this race. HAND OVER HEART (6) Finished with purpose when winning last time here and was a debutant last start. Has early speed and positions nicely. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. PEOPLE WATCHING (4) Was outmuscled when 3rd beaten by 7L last time at Delaware Park and showing consistent performance in races. Likely to be well placed early. Taking on stronger opponents. Will be around the mark at odds.

Odds of $10.00 and was ordinary when 5th last start here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Manuel Franco is a suitable booking. Take on trust.

Back from a break of 27 weeks. Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by almost 9L last start at this venue and putting a tidy record together so far. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Odds of $16.00 and below par performance when 6th last run at Saratoga and matched against a stronger field. Should muster plenty of early toe. Tracking very well this preparation. Looking elsewhere.

Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last time at Delaware Park and suited at this trip historically. Won't be far away during the run. Going well this preparation. Solid chance.

Was eating up the ground late to win last time at this venue and having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will be around the mark at good odds.
