Belmont Park Race 7 - Sleepy Hollow S. Stakes
SCRAMJET (1) Finished hard to win last time at Saratoga and racing over a longer distance. Has not missed this preparation with 2 wins from 2 starts and drawn beautifully. Goes close. BIG HANDSOME (7) Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 5 1/2L last start around here but testing ability against stronger contenders. Will be competitive. HAMMERIN HENRY (5) Peaked on the run when 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last run at Delaware Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Likely to be well placed early. Has the ability to figure. COVERED OPTION (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at Finger Lakes and rising in distance. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation and good career start. Facing formidable opponents. Solid place bet prospects.

Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Saratoga and has minimal work to do from the draw. Rising in trip. Facing stiffer opposition. Definite contender.

Was $4.50 and struggled with the pace when 6th last run at Laurel Park but putting a tidy record together so far. Expecting to settle positively. Very competitive this preparation. Watch betting.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Saratoga and stepping up in trip. Will be trying to topple them late. Been in the money each attempt this campaign. Can't recommend.

Was strong to the line when winning by a margin of 5 1/2L last start at the track but competing at a higher level of competition. Has strong claims.

Odds of $28.00 and just average when 6th last time at Saratoga but going up in distance. Likely to get back in the run. Competing in a higher grade. This looks a tough assignment.
