TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019
Race 8: Carlino (#6)
Ran a race that makes him competitive here over this course and distance in the 2018 Brooklyn.
Arguably in better form now that he was when he last stretched out to marathon distances.
His pace disadvantage may be mitigated over this distance in what is likely to be a bunched field.

Race 9: Wonderment (#6)
Showed that she possesses this kind of ability when taking down the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud as a 2-year-old.
Has had excuses in some of her disappointing 3-year-old performances.
Trainer Nicolas Clement sent out the 2nd- and 3rd-place finishers in two editions of the Belmont Gold Cup, his only North American starters over the past 5 years.
7-2 on ML
Race 10: Spanish Mission (#9)
Has earned Timeform Ratings in his last two starts that stack up very well against this field and might actually make him the horse to beat.
Encountered some traffic trouble last time in a race that he probably could have won.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past 5 years, trainer David Simcock is 4 for 11 (37%, $4.47 ROI) with North American shippers.
