Belmont

SISTER MARY (5) was a winner over 2200m at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by a neck. Won't need to get as far back from gate two and can be strong again late. MISS VEUVE (1) is on the back-up after a nice win last Saturday when given a beautiful ride by Willie Pike. He sticks, which is a good lead. ETERNAL ROMANCE (8) was well-held by Sister Mary last time but gets in well here after the claim and can turn the tables with the right run. PHAT CHAPS (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1600m at this track. Rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be in the finish. STARWALKER (2) finished sixth in the race won by Miss Veuve last week, but did beat home Sister Mary two starts ago, so she only needs luck in running to play a role.
