GOING: G(4)

Tabtouch Check In @belmont Mdn 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain Wind Early   Rail: Out 6m.  

A capacity field of 16 faces the starter in this week's maiden event with speed anticipated from Clappa Thunder, Rhymes With Orange and Excellent Jerry. Money Trainer and Excellent Jerry look the main contenders for the lead and have drawn out so will go forward. Cool De Lago will be there if she gets a run and Rhymes With Orange and Clappa Thunder can be handy. CHEAP EXPRESS caught the eye last start finishing nicely in a strong maiden here and with a better gate shouldn't be too far off them. Set to run well. THE GRAND ELUSION made a promising debut and with a bit of improvement he can take a hand in the finish. DAGORLAD is back in distance after another placing last start but is close to a win and must be considered. Chances to Cool De Lago and Crowder among others. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looking to play both Dagorlad and Cheap Express.
