Smart Sherif (#3) - Switches to trainer Bill Mott's barn as he ships in from Churchill Downs after running gamely in a Stakes race. Drops into allowance field for this NY debut.

Operation Red Dawn (#2) - Distance specialist will love this extended route distance and is 3-for-3 on the board when racing over this Belmont turf.

Scot's Pine (#5) - First attempt on the turf today, but it's surprising as he's bred to be a turf specialist.

Federal Number (#6) - Eanred a lifetime best 84 Beyer in last race, which was his turf debut. Similar performance puts him in the thick of the action once again.

The Plays: Exacta Box 2-3-5-6 ($24).
