Belmont Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
GANDERELLA (6) Placed 3rd last start here and showing consistent performance in races. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Looks a suitable field and easily up to these. TAKE CHARGE SMARTY (1) First up after a 30 week break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Aqueduct and fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. Looks to be value. ZAP THAT GHOST (3) Ran on into 5th last run around here. Each way. VICKED (4) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at the track. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Back from a 30 week break. Tidy run when 3rd last run at Aqueduct and was on debut last time. Should be going forward early. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Was $36.00 and came in 7th last run at this venue but has a good draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Facing an increased distance. Tough ask.

Was $12.00 and made ground when closing off to finish 5th last run around here. Stands out as good value.

Started $10.00 and finished 6th last start here but was a debutant last start. Stepping up in distance. Pass.

Looked good when 3rd last start around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should race on the speed. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Attracts support.

Was $28.00 and improved late to finish 4th last start here. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

At $53.00 was ordinary when 7th last run at this track. Likely to get back in the field. Unlikely to feature.
