Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Optional Claiming
PROPER JACK (2) Made some ground late when 3rd last time at this track and will try to take advantage of the alley. One of the major players. MY MAN MAX (4) Showed some merit late when 4th last start at this track and going over extra ground. Winnable race. SUMMER BROTHER (3) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd last time at the track and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Must respect in this event. BARTOLITO (8) 2yo by Uncle Chuck having initial appearance for Steve Klesaris. Watch the betting.

Odds of $5.50 and ran 7th last run here but drawn the rails. Has some claims.

Rattled home nicely into 3rd last time at this track and gets a favourable draw. Javier Castellano consistently performs well for this stable. Can measure up against these.

Overrun late when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at the track and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Racing over more ground. Good prospects.

At $43.00 disappointing display when 7th last time around here. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Entitled to be a big price.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Laurel Park and form has been improving over recent runs. Respect the betting.

Was $16.00 and made some ground when 4th last run here and fitter for debut run. Going up in distance. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.
