Belmont Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
RHYTHM RIOT (1) Dictated the tempo when winning by 2 1/4L last start at this track and solid career start. Has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Showing improvement in recent outings. Has to be strongly considered. HULLABALOO RAY RAY (3) Dominant winner by 4 1/4L last start around here but facing a stronger grade. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Ready to win. ITS SATURDAY NIGHT (2) Won by a big margin of 4 1/4L last run around here and racing over extra ground. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Key player. BANDMASTER (5) First up from a break of 9 weeks and romped home to win first up last preparation at Aqueduct. Dropping in grade. Place makes best appeal.

Controlled the speed to win by 2 1/4L last start around here and promising career start. Jockey Edgard J Zayas and trainer Jorge Delgado command respect as a team. Strong claims.

Dominant winner by 4 1/4L last run around here and facing a rise in trip. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation and drawn nicely. Will attract plenty of interest.

Spaced the field to win by a margin of 4 1/4L last start at this track but up against a more competitive field. Expected to be competitive.

Started at $53.00 and struggled with the pace when 5th last run at this venue and racing against tougher rivals. Expected to settle towards the tail. Hard to see it being competitive today.
