Expecting Mean Feat to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. YORGA PRIDE (2) returned with a strong victory at this track and trip in Open 3YO grade, running a big figure in the process. This is probably an easier race on paper and she looks destined for much better races than this. Nicely weighted after the claim of Cooper and she can score again. SURROUND ME (9) got back to winning ways last start when winning in a photo finish here 17 days ago. Tougher here, but the figure from last start stacks up nicely and she can go close. MEAN FEAT (4) arrives off a win and does so with a nice strong rating attached to that perfomance. Clearly Belmont works for him and if he can repeat the dose on speed here then he is going to give them something to get by. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Yorga Pride.
