BELMONT PARK ~ CROSS COUNTRY P5
POST-SCRATCHES
6th: Beaugay (G3), F&M-4+, 8.5f-Inner (P6, P3, DD)
$41k P6 C/O starts here..
This may be trickier than it looks with the 4 top choices all making seasonal debuts. Pacesetter Platinum Paynter (20-1) is a notch below these, but dangerous on a loose lead. Thankful (30-1) has been a dirt filly, but she is by Pharoah who has seen 13 of his 18 stakes winners so far make their mark on the lawn and TAP sees fit to give her another green spin..

Promising firsters make this a treacherous 2nd leg of the Cross Country and 3rd leg of the P6 C/O. Palamos (half to Mrs. Sippy) the horse to beat from Motion and if it’s not her, it could be any of about 6. Tetella (10-1) debuts from rail for Cox with a grassy page and looks well prepared. Both Chad Brown players (In Italian/Infinite Potential) demand respect. Shug offers Colombe D’Oro, a $510k 4yo first time starter for Don Adam. Donk could honk with 2nd time 3yo Lilly Simone (20-1) who is kin to MSW Vision Perfect..
