Belmont Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
RIVER OF DECEIT (9) Finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 4L last run at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. SPECIAL WARFARE (7) 2yo debutant by Violence for trainer Claude R Mcgaughey Iii. Betting as a guide. MOMENTARY STAR (8) 2yo debutant sired by Mehmas for Kenneth G Mcpeek. Watch the betting. AND THE RUNNER IS (4) Tailed off to finish 11th last time at the track but up against weaker rivals. Expecting to settle positively. In fine form this preparation and good career start. Likely to fill a place.

Started at $16.00 and didn't attack the line when 6th last run at this venue but was on debut last time. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can't have today.

Resuming after a spell. Overrun late when 3rd last time at Saratoga and having second race start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Pedro Pena provides some weight relief. Not in this.

Started $16.00 and lost ground in the run home when 11th last time at this track but facing a weaker group of contenders. Should come to hand quickly. Betting is the best guide.

Placed 3rd last run at Gowran Park and will appreciate the drop in weight. Change in trainer. Could be in the mix.
