Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
PERRETTI (2) Back after a 58 week spell. Although getting tired late still grabbed 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Saratoga and will try to take advantage of the draw. Well placed and has solid claims. RUNNING READY (8) 3yo by More Than Ready having first start for Chad C Brown. Jockey Samuel Marin is highly regarded. Watch betting. ARABIAN POWER (11) First up after 9 weeks and couldn't keep the pace going when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L first up last preparation at Churchill Downs. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TURBO LAUNCH (7) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last start at Saratoga. Change in trainer. Can go through the gears. Very competitive this preparation. Deserves consideration.

Resumes after a spell of 48 weeks. Jumped at $18.00 and underperformed when 5th last time at Aqueduct but having second career run. Can save some energy from the alley. Will need a big effort to win this.

Started $43.00 and didn't threaten when 5th last run at Saratoga but back over more ground. A 12 start maiden. Likely to get back in the run. Simply cannot have.
