SPOT PLAYS

BELMONT

Race 2

#2b Winning Element

Improved last time for his best career race when switched to the turf for the first time and given first-time Lasix, showing speed at Saratoga before fading to fourth, but not beaten too far in a tougher field that included next-out winner Morocco. Better post position today, and if he repeats that last effort, he beats these. Also looms an enticing 2-for-1 offer along with the #2 Now in a Drive.

Race 6

#8 O Shea Can U See

Plus play an exacta box w/#11 Sea Form

#8 O Shea Can U See is the horse in this field who stands to do the most improving today, switching to a turf sprint for the first time for turf sprint master trainer Jason Servis, who wins 35% in these races. Ran a so-so career debut on the dirt at Monmouth, but means business today with the move to the grass. Service moves up his second starters considerably with a 30% win percentage, and today’s field of competition looks questionable at best.

Play in exacta box w/ #11 Sea Foam, who is from another excellent turf sprint barn of trainer Christophe Clement. Gets a prime outside post position at this distance, and has been fast enough on the dirt so far that if he handles the turf he will be very tough. Otherwise his second-itis may continue, since he’s been second on both career outings so far.
