It is Hyperion Stakes day at Belmont on Saturday with big fields bar the main race.
Happy to stay with Come Play With Me again coming off two wins.
While he is giving good weight to some important rivals, you have to like that he is a winner while others aren’t.
He has shown before he can handle softer tracks and has performed well in Listed company previously.
The Brodie Kirby claim helps to get back to a reasonable impost and should race in the box seat all the way.
For the value we’ll play early in Race 2 where Essential Spice is ready to be winning.
This filly is down in the weights in this handicap but has some good factors in her favour.
She has won this course and distance beforehand and it came on a soft track too.
The barrier is a concern unless they roll the dice and charge over but it is a straight run for a good portion of the journey.
We will get fair each way odds in an open race.
