Belmont Park Race 10 - Hill Prince S. Stakes
PROTECT AND DEFEND (2) Was a comprehensive winner by 3L last time at Saratoga and drawn nicely. Has a great burst of speed late. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Worth strong consideration. LENNOX THE GREY (4) Took charge of the race when winning by a nose last time at Colonial Downs and good career start. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 starts. A win wouldn't surprise. PRINT (1) Stormed home to win last start at Saratoga and has drawn to do little work. Racing in stronger company. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Solid place bet prospects. CHAMBERSVILLE (8) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last run at Colonial Downs. Shows good early pace. Could run into the placings.

Was rock solid when winning by 3L last time at Saratoga and gets a favourable draw. Will be trying to topple them late. Getting better in recent performances. Must be considered here.

Made every post a winner when winning by a margin of a nose last time at Colonial Downs and putting a tidy record together so far. Has a good chance.

Reeled them in to win last run at Kentucky Downs and stepping down to a lower level. Unbeaten last 2 starts and solid career start. Manuel Franco is a bonus. Considerable improvement needed.

Started at $28.00 and lost ground in the run home when 9th last time at Kentucky Downs but will find this grade more suitable. Most likely not today.

On a short turnaround. Ran 6th last start at Lone Star Park but going over more ground. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Hard to see this being competitive today.
