Belmont Park Race 8 - Bricks And Mortar S. Stakes
SIX O CLOCK (6) Even though peaking on the run still placed 3rd last start at Colonial Downs and good career start. Displaying good ability since returning from a spell but dropping in distance. Winnable race. DOUBTING THOMAS (8) Faded to finish 6th last run at Saratoga. Has the talent to rebound quickly and challenged by weaker competitors. Jorge Ruiz is a plus. Finishes off strongly. Can win this. BIG DESTROYER (3) Came on strongly when 2nd last run at Kentucky Downs and goes down in grade. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a spell. Can give this a shake. INTRICATE SPIRIT (7) Gave away some ground when 7th last run at Saratoga. Should improve from the last run but up against a higher level of opposition. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Finished well when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Kentucky Downs and will appreciate the drop in class. Been in the money each start this preparation. Hard to take.

Started at $36.00 and came in 7th last start at Kentucky Downs but facing weaker opposition. Gets a favourable draw. Can't suggest backing.

At $36.00 didn't threaten when 10th last run at Kentucky Downs but lining up against easier rivals. Jockey Samuel Marin and trainer H Graham Motion enjoy a strong success rate. Slim hope.

Started $8.00 and weakened under pressure when 5th last run at Saratoga and back to a shorter distance. Shows good early pace. Racing against tougher rivals. Could feature here.

Odds of $10.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last run at Saratoga. Should improve from the last run but facing a stronger group of contenders. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

At $8.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at Saratoga. Has the talent to rebound quickly and competing in a lower grade. Jorge Ruiz takes the reins today. Very capable of taking this out.
