Belmont Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
ELECTION HERO (4) Initial race appearance 2yo by Early Voting for Chad C Brown. Manuel Franco is highly regarded. Market as guide. MYSTRIX (1) Did well when 2nd last start at Saratoga and goes down in grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Danny Gargan stable are in good form of late. Has the ability to take this out. SQUADRON (8) Maxfield 2yo having first race start for William I Mott. Watch betting. TAP OUR WAY (3) Rattled home nicely into 2nd last run at Saratoga and fitter for debut run. Should race on the speed. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form. Can push an each way bet for it.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Saratoga and stepping down to a lower level. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Capable of winning this.

Ran on when 2nd last run at Saratoga and was a debutant last start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Flavien Prat is a smart booking. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Was $28.00 and underwhelming when 6th last start at Saratoga but having second career run. Can't suggest backing.

First up after a break. Jumped at $18.00 and subpar when 8th last start at Saratoga but was a debutant last start. Prefer in something easier.

Ran home into 3rd last start at Saratoga and having second race start. Jockey Jr Ricardo Santana and trainer Kenneth G Mcpeek are usually competitive when they team up. Do not dismiss entirely.

William I Mott trained 2yo by Maxfield having first race start. Betting is the best guide.
