Belmont Park Race 3 - Iroquois S. Stakes
VENETTA (5) Resuming. Gave a strong sight when 3rd last start at Saratoga and promising career start. Has good finishing speed. Flavien Prat is an advantage but down in trip. Worth a bet. CELTIC DAWN (2) First up after a break. Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last run at Saratoga and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has a positive draw. Include in chances. SUNDAY GIRL (4) Outgunned at the finish when 3rd beaten by 1L last time at Finger Lakes but challenged by more formidable competitors. Has a nice turn of foot. Solid place bet prospects. KAY CUP (6) Dashed home to win last run at this track but racing against tougher rivals. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Not out of this.

Was overpowered late when 3rd beaten by 2L last start here and gets the perfect draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Racing consistently this campaign. Pass.

Fresh today after a break. Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd last run at Saratoga and good career start. A threat to the other main hopes.

Odds of $12.00 and looked outclassed when 4th last run at this venue. Have to respect the recent Linda Rice form. Very competitive this preparation. Hard to entertain.

Even though being out sprinted still grabbed 3rd last time at Finger Lakes but up against a higher level of opposition. Finishes off strongly. Some respect.

Back from a break. Felt the pinch late when 3rd beaten by over 15L last start at Saratoga and showing consistent performance in races. Has a credible chance.

Ran over the top of them when winning last run around here but rising in grade. Can go through the gears. Contender at a nice price.
