TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Thursday, May 16, 2019
Race 1: Alphadora (#1)
Was too aggressively ridden two back, when she set a fast pace and faded going this distance.
Her top TimeformUS Speed Figure of 95 is clearly the highest in this field.
Will appreciate the class relief after being ambitiously spotted against stakes company last time.

Race 4: Out of Orbit (#6)
Did not get ideal trips in her final two turf starts of 2018, making her form look worse than it was.
The Brad Cox barn has been on fire in recent weeks at Belmont.
Joel Rosario is one of the best turf sprint riders in the country, and can get her to rally from off the pace.

Race 7: Lemonist (#10)
Has been steadily improving over the course of the past year despite moving up in class.
Should appreciate the added distance, since he is a full brother to a French Group 3 winner at 1 5/16 miles.
The Pace Projector is predicting that he will be up close to the pace early, whereas main rival Devamani may be compromised by coming from farther back.
