TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Sunday, May 20, 2018
Race 4
Caitriona (#10)
Bred for turf as a daughter of good grass sire Munnings out of a dam who sports a strong turf pedigree.
Ran better than it seems in her turf debut after getting buried inside behind tiring runners on the turn.
Should appreciate the slight cutback to 6 furlongs.

Race 6
Raging Fire (#6)
The only race in which she showed any ability came over a sealed track, which is sometimes indicative of turf ability.
Bred to handle grass as a half-brother to 5-time turf winner Mo Maverick.
John Kimmel gets a solid 76 TimeformUS Trainer Rating with horses switching from dirt to turf.

Race 7
Samuna (#5)
Probably needed her return off a 13-month layoff last time.
Was extremely rank for the first half of that Keeneland race, which probably sapped some of her energy in the late stages.
Displayed class as a two-year-old in France, as she finished a good second to eventual Group 1 winner Brametot.
