BELMONT AT THE
BIG A
SPOT PLAYS
Race 7
#1 Cassiar
Plus
exacta box with #3 Eunomia
#1 Cassiar
beat #7 Dry Powder at this track and distance last year and finished a solid
second last time behind multiple stakes winner Five G when needing a race at
Gulfstream Park in her first start back from a six-month layoff. She’ll be
ready to roll in this second race off the long layoff as a live overlay.
Play in
exacta box with #3 Eunomia, who is hard to ignore in this spot and will be
tough to beat based on her fine form in five recent dirt races where she posted
three wins, a second, and a third. She exits a runner-up finish by a neck in
Keeneland’s Doubledogdare Stakes and seems perfectly suited for the Ruffian’s
one-mile distance.
Race 9
#1
Trendsetter
Exits a 2
½-length win in last month’s Lexington Stakes at Keeneland where he easily
defeated The Hell We Did and Corona d’Oro who are now both targeting the
Preakness Stakes. Trendsetter got a good stalking pace set-up to win the
Lexington and should get another similar good trip off a potentially hot pace
at a 1 1/8-mile distance that suits him well.
