SPOT PLAYS

BELMONT

Race 1

#1 Formal Summation

Plus play an exacta box w/ #7 Bustin the Bank

#1 Formal Summation has been in the money six races in a row and remains in good form based on the third-place finish last time out against stakes horses. Now takes the big step back down to the $12.5 claiming level after just missing by a neck at this level two races ago following a tough trip. Rana big speed figure in the first outing for this barn last time, and can beat these with anything close to a repeat.

Play in exacta box w/#7 Bustin the Bank, who improved strongly last time out for a second-place finish against similar and is clearly on an improving trend that make him dangerous against this field.

Race 6

#6 Vintage Matters

Just missed at this level by a nose when last seen back in November. Johnny Velazquez returns for the mount for trainer Michael Dickinson, and while this horse must overcome a five-month layoff, this trainer excels in this situation with 4 wins with his last 9 horses returning from such layoffs (44% wins).
