Belmont Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
MAX CAP (12) 2yo debutant sired by Maxfield for Mark E Casse. Added confidence with Samuel Marin doing the steering. Market as guide. CHARGE THE MOUND (8) Initial appearance 2yo by Not This Time for William I Mott. Watch the betting. NEPTUNEROAD RICHIE (4) Outpaced some runners late when 4th last start at the track and going up in trip. Displays good tactical speed. In the mix. NYSTATEOFMIND (5) First up from a spell. Good result placing 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last start at Saratoga. Should jump out and bowl along. One at a bit of odds.

Racing fresh after a break. Jumped at $12.00 and tailed off to finish 5th last time at Saratoga but having second career run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Looks hopeful.

Started $12.00 and overtook some late when 4th last start here and racing over more ground. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Very capable of taking this out.

Back from a break. Gave a strong sight when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last start at Saratoga. Should be going forward early. Could be in the mix.

Was $43.00 and average at best when 10th last run here but was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Will need everything to go right.

Started at $8.50 and finished 4th last time at this venue but was on debut last time. Expecting to settle positively. Linda Rice stable are on a hot streak. Not at all out of this race.

Started $12.00 and ran 6th last run at the track but fitter for debut run. Might have to make up considerable ground. This won't be easy.

Odds of $16.00 and finished 4th last time here but having second race start. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Needs to find a lot more.

Maxfield 2yo trained by Mark E Casse having first race appearance. Good to see Samuel Marin is jumping on. Betting as a guide.
