Belmont Park Race 2 - Bertram F. Bongard S. Stakes
ROAD SHOW (1) Finished with purpose when winning last time at Saratoga and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Warrants a bet. MENDEL (4) Backing up quickly for this race. Flew home to win last time at Albuquerque Downs and facing an increased distance. Shows good early pace. First appearance for a new trainer. Appears well in this. CALLING MR. MO (3) Was found wanting late when 2nd last time at Saratoga but will be dropping in distance. Has plenty of early speed. Racing in stronger company. Will be around the mark at odds. SOLDIER'S GLORY (7) Reeled them in to win last start here and was a debutant last start. Shows very good closing speed. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Must be considered. Something for the Multiples: SCALENE (2)

Charged home to win last time at Saratoga and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Saratoga and fitter for debut run. Gets a favourable draw. Competing in a higher grade. Nice price for the value seekers.

Was in the hunt for a long way when 2nd last time at Saratoga but coming back in trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Matched against tougher rivals. Capable type.

On a short back up. Picked up nicely to win last time at Albuquerque Downs and rising in trip. Change in trainer but up in class. Genuine claims.

Started $7.50 and closed off nicely when 4th last run at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Edgard J Zayas and Rodolphe Brisset deserve serious attention when combined. Will need a big effort to win this.

At $53.00 lacklustre showing when 7th last time at Saratoga and competing at a higher grade. Back in trip. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Picked up late to win last start around here and was on debut last time. Has a nice turn of foot. Facing stiffer opposition. One that represents value at a decent price.
