Belmont Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Optional Claiming
HOT NIGHT (4) 2yo by Omaha Beach having initial appearance for Michael J Trombetta. Market as guide. GOODPROBLEMTOHAVE (7) Ran home into 3rd last run at this track and solid career start. Should be going forward early. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a spell. Worth a ticket. MY BEAUTY QUEEN (1) 2yo first starter by Idol for trainer Jose M Jimenez and gets a favourable draw. Large claim helps. Respect the betting. QUOTED (5) Weakened to finish 10th last start at Saratoga. Expecting improvement here but coming back in trip. Should muster plenty of early toe. Must respect.

At $8.50 finished 5th last start around here but has a positive draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Do not dismiss.

Started at $5.50 and faded away to finish 10th last start at Saratoga. Expecting improvement here but back to a shorter trip. Won't be far away during the run. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Was $16.00 and making up some late ground when 4th last run at Keeneland and having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Sharp improvement needed.

Picked up late ground when 3rd last run here and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Has run into the money regularly this preparation. Good potential.

Was $11.00 and ran 6th last start at the track but fitter for debut run. This one has a big task.
