Take the 2nd at Bel today. The bris best speed fig in the last 4 start are
1 78
2 82
3 74
4 77
5 84
6 87
7 84
8 87
2 is the ml favorite but has had a series of 6f race and no wins at the distance
8 Has the best speed fig at this distance and a win,but is coming off a 53 day lay off and is my pick to win
6 I like because he has the best speed fig along with the 8 and I like the way he came off his lay off in a sprint race.
7 has the best speed fig in his last race at 7f
5 ran his last race on slpy but has an 84 fig on turf at this dis,but he is moving up in class and is dropping off 8 lbs
I think 5,6,7,8 all have a good chance to win this race.

I'm in a quandary to qualify
About the Base on his Form, plus there's a 41 days off, but 3 recent works. In addition his recent lack of tactical speed has gotten him into traffic woes in 5/6 of his last races. With the drop from Sar, and his top class ratings, I'm leaving him for dirt and turf.
So for Turf I have them
(edit):
Baronet would be a longshot play for ITM if it stays on turf
For Dirt my top two are the same:
