Belmont Park Race 5 - Jockey Club Gold Cup S. Stakes
STARS AND STRIPES (2) Ran on hard when winning last time at Saratoga and has a positive alley. Down in trip. Racing in stronger company. No shock to see a win. FOREVER YOUNG (7) Has multiple wins when resuming. Honest race when 2nd last run at Meydan but up against a more competitive field. Jockey Ryusei Sakai has been successful aboard previously. Every chance today. BAEZA (1) Was making up some late ground when 4th last run at Saratoga and drawn beautifully. In top form since coming back from a spell. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. PHILEAS FOGG (4) Proven record when resuming. Took charge of the race to win by 10L last time at Saratoga but competing in a higher grade. Shows good early pace. One of the top hopes.

Dashed home to win last time at Saratoga and will try to take advantage of the draw. Competing in a more challenging class. Back to a shorter distance. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Goes well when fresh. Set the pace to win by a margin of 10L last time at Saratoga but taking on stronger rivals. Likely to be well placed early. Commands respect.

Has a good record first up. Placed 2nd last run at Meydan but up in class. Ryusei Sakai does know the horse very well. Should progress and will be close.
