TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Saturday, April 28, 2018

Race 4:
Realm (#2)

May be rounding back into form following a disappointing string of performances.

Was compromised by a slow pace two back (indicated by blue color-coded pace figures in TimeformUS PPs).

Possesses the tactical speed to lay closer to the early pace this time in a race that doesn’t feature much speed.

Race 5:
Labeq (#11)

Seems to be doing well, since he ran the best race of his career last time out.

Should appreciate the switch to turf since his dam was a Grade 1 winner on synthetic and also handled turf well.

DRF Formulator Fact: Kiaran McLaughlin is 6 for 29 (21 percent, $4.10 ROI) with maiden first-time turfers in routes at NYRA.

Race 9:
Great Wide Open (#6)

Ran well in this race last year at a big price.

Was badly compromised by a slow start in the Danger’s Hour, which forced him to rush through the pack while racing too keenly.

The Pace Projector is predicting that he will be up front early in a situation favoring the early leaders.
