Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
UNDERWOOD (4) First up and blitzed its rivals when winning by 3 1/4L first up last preparation at Sunland Park. Racing for a new trainer but down in trip. Worth strong consideration. DREAM SPELL (2) First race appearance 2yo by Dialed In for trainer Michael J Maker and can find a nice position from the draw. Flavien Prat adds value. Watch the betting. ALL STAR LEIGH (5) Managed to finish 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Saratoga. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Will be hitting the line strongly. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PLUM ISLAND (1) First start at the races 2yo by Yaupon for trainer Jeremiah C Englehart and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Watch for a sign in the market.

Odds of $6.50 and weakened to finish 6th last time at Saratoga. Has early speed and positions nicely. Looking to place betting and exotics.

First up and had a comfortable win by 3 1/4L first up last preparation at Sunland Park. Change in trainer but back to a shorter trip. Expecting to settle positively. Should go very close.

Started $7.50 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last start at Saratoga and was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the run. Questions at this level.

At $5.50 finished 5th last start at Saratoga. Jockey Edgard J Zayas is in form for this stable. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Not at all out of this race.
