BELMONT PARK


POST-SCRATCHES


7th: SLW/N1X, 3+, 1m-T (P4, P3, DD, Super)

Excellent group. Clement's 'first North America' favorite #8 Barocci (2-1) has 'that look' of an impact import, but the next 3-4 all are solid citizens..

Most Likely: #8 Barocci 2-1 2nd
Best Value: #1 The Paddyman 6-1 7th
Next Best: #7 Kanagaro 5-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #3 Reserve Currency 7-2 4th


8th: NY-ALW/N1X, F&M-3+, 6.5f (P3, DD, Super)

Looked at this race Friday before odds had posted and hoped McPeek's #4 Why Take a Chance might be 2nd or 3rd choice, but Eric Donovan makes him 2-1 to start the bidding. Gets 'triple whammy' karma makeover dropping down (open to state bred), cutting back and going turf to dirt. And adds Lasix..
