9/7: Belmont Park (Opening Day; Inaugural P5)

[Kasept]

BELMONT PARK


POST-SCRATCHES


1st: NY-OC/N2X, 3+, 1m (P5, P3, DD)

Tricky start to NY's first P5 sequence with nearly all signed on eligible to win in certain scenarios. Objective should be beating vulnerable 2-1 Zivo who may be tighter after the comeback from year off. Go Get the Basil and Smooth Bert turn back out of the Albany. Consistent Quiet Power provides value..

SCR NOTES: Bake Shop one of 4 highly notable contending SCR's today..

Most Likely: #1 Go Get the Basil 5-1 2nd
Best Value: #6 Quiet Power 10-1 5th
Next Best: #7 Zivo 2-1 3rd

2nd: NY-ALW/M1X, F&M-3+, 6f-IT (P4, P3, DD)

5th: CLM, 3+, 7f (P6, P3, DD)

Well-matched $35k claimers. If it's not Jacobson first off the claim (#7 Start Jumping), it feels like it could be any of another quintet of players (3-5-6-9). Race is made tricky by uncertainty of how pace lays out. Serpe reaches for 7# bug Franco which says he wants first out winner on front end here. Luzzi (El Cuadro) and J. Ortiz (Pass the Pico SCR'D) have option of engaging or stalking. How they play it will determine if this gets hot or not and Start Jumping can adjust to either scenario..

THX Tom.. Best to U2. Didn't need to get too inventive on the first half of the card. The turf action coming up should be fun.
