R6- Using only one here with Mendy and his big number. Anything close dusts these and my guess is Aiden has him ready to fire a good one today. I'll take a very chalky start to the sequence as value comes later in R7 and R8.

R7- The two favorites have little margin for error over the 5, who at anything near his ML is must use and key horse for me in the race. Using the 5 as well as the 3&4 who both get nice break in the weights. Will use the two favorites as savers only and dead against the Chad horse.

R8- I like the 3 pt. top from the 4 in her first race this year and feel another move forward could be coming today. Adding in the top fig 8 horse. Even though regression is likely her double digit odds makes her a must use based on number power. Adding the 1, 5 and 9 in a tough race.

R9- Toss Bobby B out your own peril. I have learned my lesson from past two Belmonts and will be using both of his in here with preference to the 4, who I expect to save ground the whole way around. Adding the 2 as the cutback in distance should help him fire his best shot. Also tossing in the 7 who has a nice forward moving pattern and gets a good break in the weights.

R10- Ending the sequence where I started and taking Aiden's horse as my key. Number is right there and expect a forward move for trainer who does very well bringing these types over on this surface. Will also use the 6 as a saver, as his initial race this year was a nice new top and a forward move could be coming on first time firm.

Good luck to all on a great betting card!
