Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time. The 2YO's kick off the Belmont season and SILENT DIVA (8) can make an immediate impact on debut. She was very impressive in a recent trial at Lark Hill and clocked a strong time against other trials on the day. Pike sticks from the trial and she can make a winning start to her career. BUCKLED (4) showed enough in his debut campaign when running around some Karrakatta Plate fancies and trialled well under a hold recently. Time was slower than Silent Diva on the day, but he has the race experience under his sleeve. He'll be hard to hold out if he's come on in the break. CAPITOLA (1) was too good from the front last start over 1100m and is likely to be up front again back to this trip. The claim comes in handy and he'll give his rivals something to chase. PERFECT SISTER (2) comes back from the Karrakatta Plate where she was strong late in the race. Can put her best foot forward. ARCTIC SNOW (6) won a trial coming into this and looks to have some ability. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Silent Diva on debut.
