Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
VALTELLINA (4) Flew home to win last run at Saratoga and proven runner at this trip. Possesses good finishing speed. Jockey Dylan Davis has a high strike rate on board. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. CONCURRENTLY (1) Improved to place when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at Saratoga and strong performer at this trip. Will be positive in the run early. Rates well in this race. DECADENT (3) Narrowly denied a win last time at Colonial Downs but rising in class. Goes very close. AEOLIAN (5) First up and rocketed home when winning first up last preparation at Aqueduct. Displays good tactical speed. Manuel Franco has a good track record with the Chad C Brown stable. One of the hopes.

Ran home strongly to win last run at Saratoga and hard to fault at the distance. Dylan Davis rates highly aboard but matched against a stronger field. Will attract plenty of interest.
