Racing analyst Carl Nicholson finds value for Thursday's card at Belmont.

Best Bet: SONNEMAN (2/1 ML) - RACE 8

RACE OF THE DAY - RACE 8

This looks an intriguing little Stakes contest with $50k to the winner. CASINO GRANDE looks the obvious starting point having won both lifetime starts this season. He showed good battling qualities to fend off a decent enough field at Gulfstream and there is certainly more in the offing as he progresses up the ladder. SONNEMAN made a winning return to action over 7f at Gulfstream and got up late to win under hand riding. That was a taking effort and there is certainly a race of this nature in the son of Curlin. PRODIGIOUS BAY has less up side that the two already mentioned, but he is a solid enough runner at this sort of level and can be a factor. CELTIC STRIKER gets a class drop and has a shout, although the stable is catching a cold with its runners at this track this season.

There is not much to choose between CASINO GRANDE & SONNEMAN, but the latter is off the claim and booking of Jose Ortiz does catch the eye a little so SONNEMAN gets my backing today

RACE 2

MENTAL MODEL gets a good class drop angle and the booking of a useful claimer take the eye. This son of Mischief has been running is far better races that this most of the career Linda Rice is no stranger to success at this venue. Both MINE THE COIN & MANDATORY PAYOUT have the assistance of the Ortiz brothers in the saddle and rate the main dangers.

RACE 9

FRESCO is sure to garner plenty of attention after two solid runs this season, but I thought there was plenty to like about the way TOWERING GAZE finished her race off on the debut. She got little luck in the run and finished with something left to my eye.
