Belmont At The Big A Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
HAFU (1) Narrowly denied victory last time here and gets a favourable draw. Jockey Jr Ricardo Santana and trainer Linda Rice link up well. Expected to be flashing home. Promising career start. Deserves a win. TWO DUCKS (3) Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last start here. No shock to see a win. OLIGARCH (7) Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 2nd last start at this track. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. Must be considered. NO FILTER (5) Nice effort to run into 3rd last run at Finger Lakes. Has plenty of early speed. Recent form of Chris J Englehart is strong. Likely threat.

Just shy of the win last time at this venue and gets the perfect draw. Jr Ricardo Santana is in good form for this stable. Showing consistent performance in races. Strong claims.

Was $36.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last start at the track but was a debutant last start. Might be ridden for luck. Drawn nicely. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.

Started $23.00 and faded to finish 5th last run at the track and coming back in trip. Should race on the speed. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Ran on when 3rd beaten by more than 7L last run at Finger Lakes. Won't be far away during the run. Chris J Englehart stable are running hot lately. Win won't shock.

Was $36.00 and folded up in the straight when 7th last time here. Still in maiden grade after 9 runs. Expected to settle towards the tail. Tough ask.
