SPOT PLAYS
BELMONT
Race 3
#5 Breaking the Rules
Lost to a
pair of toughies last time out in a restricted stakes race at Saratoga, buy has
been in good form in the three recent races with a pair of wins and very good
speed figures. Likes Belmont with 2 wins in 3 outings here, and reunites with
Johnny Velazquez, who was aboard the wins in June and July. Distance no
problem. Likes to win.
Race 9
#3 Decorated
Invader
Plus play exacta box w/ #4 Bodecream
#3 Decorated Invader won three
races in a row this year at Gulfstream, Belmont and Saratoga, and can rebound from
the loss last time out in the $500k Saratoga Derby where he was defeated by
less than a length in a blanket finish. Never runs a bad race and will be
sitting in perfect stalking position waiting to pounce on the tiring speed
horses.
Play in
exacta box with #4 Bodecream, who is another horse that will be in good
position from a pace standpoint from a stalking position just off the pace. Stakes
winner at this one-mile distance picks up Irad Ortiz for Mike Maker, and offers
good value in the exactas at 8-1 odds on the morning line.
