TimeformUS Belmont Horses in Focus for Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018

Race 2:
Blushing Justine (#7)

Showed some ability early in her career when in the stable of Dennis Lalman.

Has been entered against tougher company in her only two races since the trainer switch to Carlos Martin.

The Pace Projector is predicting that she will be up close to the pace in a situation favoring the front-runners.

Race 3:
Plainsman (#2)

Was racing too far behind a slow pace last time (indicated by blue color-coded pace figures in TimeformUS PPs).

May have won that last race if he had not gotten spun wide off the far turn.

Showed more speed in his prior starts, so he can sit closer to lone speed Mr. Buff today.

9-5 on ML

Race 6:
Halloween Horror (#9)

The Pace Projector is predicting that he will get a fast pace to close into.

His TimeformUS Late Pace Rating of 85 is the highest in the field, indicating that he may be the best closer in the field.

Was badly compromised by a slow pace when he dropped down to this level last time.
