| Race Date | July 01, 2021 |
| Track | Belmont Park |
| Race | 3 |
| Overview | A weak 20k claimer with several stuck in neutral, and one who looks poised to move forward off the claim. |
| Pace | It doesn’t look all that taxing, which suggests #1 EXTRA EFFORT (5-2) could be sent to the lead with an “I’m on the best horse, come catch me” kind of ride. |
| Trends | For the most part, the main track has played fair throughout the meet, though tactical speed is always at a premium. |
| Best Bet | EXTRA EFFORT |
| Number | 1 |
| Morning Line | (5-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #1 EXTRA EFFORT (5-2): Versatile sort is in very good form, goes off the claim for a sharp combo of Barrera and Three Players Stable, who figure to be able to improve her form off Quartarolo and Gutterson. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet, strong EX over #2 with a smaller backup underneath, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
