Belmont At The Big A Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming
LADY ROSE (5) Close to a win last start here and facing a weaker group of contenders. Will be hitting the line strongly. Linda Rice stable are on fire recently. Must respect in this event. GRACIE'S DELIGHT (4) Set the tempo to win by 5 1/2L last start at Keeneland but testing ability against stronger contenders. Can measure up to this company. L'ECLAIR (8) Threw down a serious challenge last time at Monmouth Park and form has been improving over recent runs. Jaime Rodriguez is a pivotal booking but challenged by a tougher grade. Winnable race. DEE'S ON DOW (6) Assumed control from the start when winning by a head last time at Monmouth Park but facing a stronger group of contenders. Can feature.

Finished with purpose when winning last time around here and has a good draw. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Started $12.00 and lost ground in the run home when 4th last start at this track but matched against lesser competition. Have to respect the recent stable form. Seems unlikely.

Threw down a serious challenge last start at this track and dropping in class. Linda Rice stable are in good form of late and good career start. Must respect.

Made every post a winner when winning by a margin of a head last time at Monmouth Park but competing at a higher level of competition. Rates as one of the key chances.

Narrowly beaten last time at Monmouth Park but stepping up to a higher level. Jaime Rodriguez is a key engagement and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Good chance in this.
