This is a poor race and none of these can really be relied upon. Eaton Miller came from an unpromising position to beat Vaxalco over C&D a month ago and there is no promise he can confirm that from out of the weights. Vaxalco is a longstanding one paced maiden who looks a fair bet to make the frame once more and this may fall to BELMONT PARK. The trip would have been too sharp for him last time but that effort sees him drop to a career low mark and, after two runs back from a lengthy layoff, he should be ready to step up at this lowly level.
