Belmont Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Optional Claiming
ALL SHOW (9) Made some ground when 4th last time at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. In good order this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. SHE'S SLICK (3) Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time here and having second race start. Will be motoring home late. Facing a rise in trip. Has the ability to take this out. INSTANT STARDOM (1) Although being out sprinted still grabbed 3rd beaten by 6L last start at Meadowlands and drawn beautifully. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Deserves consideration. SOUPER TAYLOR (2) Struggled with the pace when 8th last start at Laurel Park but will try to take advantage of the draw. One of the major players.

Jumped at $6.50 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last start at Laurel Park but can find a nice position from the draw. Nice price for the value seekers.

Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time around here and was a debutant last start. Expected to be flashing home. Rising in distance. Should go close.

Picked up late ground when 2nd last run at this venue. Finishes off strongly. Jockey Flavien Prat is a plus. Good chance in this.
