Belmont Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
INTERSTATELOVESONG (8) First run back after spell of 35 weeks. Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd last run at Aqueduct and putting a tidy record together. Up against stronger opponents. A win wouldn't surprise. L'ECLAIR (4) Improved to place when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time here and strong performer at this trip in the past. Competing in a more challenging class. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ROMAN GRACE (5) Felt the pinch late when 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last time at Saratoga but rising in grade. Linda Rice stable are on fire recently. In the mix. MERMAID MAGIC (6) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at Finger Lakes and good career start. Should come to hand quickly. Gets a chance to win.

First up after 13 weeks and came in 3rd first up last preparation at Saratoga. Have to respect the recent stable form and matched against a less competitive field. Considering others.

Gave them all something to chase to win by a margin of just over 6L last start Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and back over more ground. Drawn nicely. Nice price for the value seekers.

Backs up quickly. Started $18.00 and looked outclassed when 7th last start around here and back in trip. Competing in a higher grade. Can't back with any confidence.

Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time here and suited at this trip in the past. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Good chance at a nice price.

Put together a strong on-speed performance when 2nd last run at Finger Lakes and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Facing formidable rivals. Expecting a strong showing.
