<li>#6 REGGAE MUSIC MAN (9-2) should be another involved in the early pace. That can be a huge advantage in these races.</li>
<li>#2 PRISONER (4-1) looks like a strong prospect edging the field in several key handicapping factors including record at the distance &amp; power rating. </li>
<li>#3 PERFECT MUNNINGS (7-2) classes up well against these and wouldn’t be a surprise to take down the race.</li>
</ul>

<li>#7 MISS DRACARYS (7-2) has the class rating to be a major factor in the race.</li>
<li>#9 TASS (15-1) has the top speed figures in the group and will be forwardly placed. The value is there on this one.</li>

<li>#11 ATHWAAQ (6-1) has run against decent foes in the previous starts and may be well conditioned for success in this race.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Selections: </strong>7-9-3-11</p>
<h3 id="7b3h3">Belmont Park Race 6</h3>
<p>Post: 3:36 PM ET; Purse: $75,000 Maiden Special Weight, 6 Furlongs on Turf; Entries: 10</p>
<ul>
<li>#2 YARROW (2-1) is in with a great chance based on the horse&#x27;s stamina &amp; pedigree. </li>

<h3 id="a0l5n">Belmont Park Race 7</h3>
<p>Post: 4:09 PM ET; Purse: $92,000 Allowance, 6 Furlongs on Dirt; Entries: 8</p>
<ul>
<li>#5 BABA (8-1) comes into this race in great form and could surprise some people at a nice price.</li>
<li>#3 RUVIES IN TIME (10-1) looks to have a pace edge in this spot and could be on the front end.<br />#6 SPEAKS FOR ITSELF (1-1) is in with a great chance based on the horse&#x27;s connections &amp; power rating. The price does seem a bit short on this one.</li>
<li>#4 MISCHIEVOUS DIANE (6-1) goes out for New York regulars Ray Handal and Dylan Davis. I love the jockeys aggressiveness that often leads to hitting the board at square prices.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="2paa3">Belmont Park Race 8</h3>
<p>Post: 4:42 PM ET; Purse: $400,000 Belmont Gold Cup S., 2 Miles on Turf; Entries: 8</p>
<ul>
<li>#1 LOFT (4-1) is a foreign invader that is a bit of a wild card in this spot. I am not a huge fan of the top of the market, so I like the unknown factor of this one.</li>
<li>#2 ABAAN (5-2) is in with a major shot holding  speed &amp; class. That being said this one has been underwhelming of late. The numbers do make it tough to avoid this one.</li>
<li>#6 Cibolian (10-1) is ridden by Flavien Prate who almost has to be used on any New York turf race right now.</li>
<li>#5 STRONG TIDE (6-1) should be in the right spot early to give this horse a chance to get the job done.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Selections: </strong>1-2-6-5</p>

<li>#7 FAMILY WAY (8-1) merits consideration in this spot given edges in speed &amp; race flow. </li>
<li>#3 VIRGINIA JOY (3-1) is in with a great chance based on the horse&#x27;s class &amp; form. This one is also trained by Chad Brown.</li>
