BELMONT
Race 5
#4 Sharpin
Exits the maiden win in a solid race at Keeneland, and the
defeated second-place finisher from that race has already come back to win,
which flattered this horse. Lands at the correct class level and meets a
sub-par field here at the nw2l level. Should beat these with something close to
a repeat of that last race.
Race 7
#1 English Soul
Plus
play exacta box w/#2 Goodbye Brockley
#1 English
Soul returns from a long layoff for a low-profile trainer that has sneakily had
a giant meet at Belmont with 5 wins from his first 15 starters, and who does
well with horses returning from 6-month layoffs or more with 3 wins from his
last 10 long layoffs. Drops from stakes spots and her speedy front-running zip
and the rail makes this horse too dangerous to pass up on either turf or dirt.
Play in exacta
box with #2 Goodbye Brockley, who needed the last race in return from a layoff
and now is ready to improve in second off the layoff. Owns speed figures that
are better than these when she’s on her best game, and likes the Belmont turf
course the best. Handles the main track too.
