TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018

Race 2: Malthael (#1)

Never really had a chance last time in a race dominated toward the front end.

Drew an advantageous post position toward the inside over a course that has featured a strong rail bias.

DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Christophe Clement is 16 for 68 (24 percent, $2.25 ROI) with non-debuting maidens getting Lasix for the first time in turf races.

Race 5: Bluegrass Jamboree (#6)

Earned a competitive speed figure last time when facing a field that was arguably tougher than this one.

Seems to run her best races at Belmont Park.

Figures to go off at an inflated price due to likely favorite Satisfy getting overbet.

Race 8: Dreamcall (#1)

Figures to get an honest pace to close into with three key speeds signed on.

Was hindered by a slow pace over a speed-favoring sloppy surface that she did not care for last time.

Will appreciate the stretch-out to 1 1/8 miles.

12-1 on ML

Race 10: Aurelius Maximus (#9)

Has already handled the one-mile distance.

Possesses a versatile running style that should allow him to rate just off the leaders.

Has been slower to come around and may have more room for improvement than some of his more precocious rivals.
