Race 2
#10 Devilry
Plus
play exacta box w/#8 Okeamo
#10 Devilry needed a race last time out in return from a
10-month layoff and really didn’t run bad despite finishing fifth when you
consider that he was against a much tougher field that day off the layoff. Now
ready to improve in the second race back from the sidelines and at an ideal 6F
distance for high percentage connections.
Play
in exacta box with #8 Okeamo,
who takes a giant maiden class drop today from maiden special weights to the
bottom maiden claiming level. Spotted to win, or at least run big, and the
speed figures stack up well against these if he handles the cutback in distance
from routes to a sprint.
Race 7
#1 Compagno
Landed in a
tough spot at Suffolk last time out when needing a prep race off a layoff, and
lost two races ago due to a bad trip when he checked out of winning contention
in the stretch. Go back three races and this horse rana giant turf win with a
huge speed figure right here at Belmont Park, which at the time was this horse’s
third turf win in the span of four turf races. Now goes second off the layoff
and just needs a clean trip to upset this field at 12-1 odds on the morning
line.
