Peck: Belmont Park pick three play for Sunday, June 14

Taking a look at the middle of the Belmont card on Sunday, with a $1 play on the pick three encompassing races 5 through 7:

RACE 5: MAJESTIC RAFFY (#5) rallied well enough for the place last time considering the slow pace up front, and he should get a better setup in this one. ELROI (#9), out of the same race, is another who figures to benefit from the improved pace scenario. ANALYSIS (#12) has been away since October but his Beyers and his running style fit.

RACE 6: HAIL CORNELL (#4) gets Lasix and turns back in her second start off the layoff for Bill Mott, and that second angle has proven to be a strong one for this barn. She's had trouble getting out of the gate, but with a clean start she figures very tough here, and for that reason she's the single in the sequence.

RACE 7: I'll use all six on the main ticket, but I'll press with three of them - SHARP QUALITY (#2), ANNIE WALKER (#4) and IN HASTE (#5) - on a secondary ticket. That trio could hold an edge on the other three.
