Belmont Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
STARS AND TAPIT (5) Initial race appearance 2yo by Tapit for Todd A Pletcher. Market as guide. MOM'S ON BREAK (10) Rattled home nicely into 3rd last run at the track and having second race start. Finishes off strongly. In the mix. CARA'S CHROME (2) Moved through the field into 5th last run around here and has a good draw. Should get going late. Pedro Pena takes a large claim and rising in trip. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run. SEISMIC ACTIVITY (12) Kept chasing when 4th last start at Saratoga. Flavien Prat is a key engagement. Don't leave out of trifectas.

At $43.00 made up ground when 5th last run around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Crept into 5th last run around here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Possesses very good closing speed. The large claim from Pedro Pena helps. Could be in the mix.

Resuming after a spell. At $23.00 below par performance when 10th last time at Saratoga but was on debut last time. Does take a while to get into stride. Form will be tested here.

At $16.00 overtook some late when 5th last time at Saratoga. Danny Gargan has been training plenty of winners recently. Can run into the placings.
