We should be able to get a fair price on Jazzy Moves, who will be making her second start for trainer Robert Barbara, who claimed the four-year-old filly for $25,000 back in August at Saratoga.
The Tardily Pick 3 starts with a unjust maiden race on turf, followed pre-eminently a couple of inclusive open allowance races on the grass.
The passkey to the three race sequence may be our exceed pick in the seventh race, the before time starter Djokovic, who is 12/1 on the morning line.

If the four-yearold gelding is ready to ignite off preparation at the Fair Hill Training Center, he could get our $24 play off to a great start.
Today’s Play of the Day from Belmont Park:
BEL Race 5 Clm $25,000N2L (3:07 ET)
#10 Jazzy Moves 5/1
#3 Pea Stone 7/2
#8 Deputy’s Citizen 3/1
#4 Z Cats Meow 12/1
Criticism: #10 Jazzy Moves made a mild late rally to finish fifth last out going a mile for a $35K trail along after in her before start off the claim by the Barbara barn. Ramon stuck with this filly for the new barn and is here again. The cut back to a sprint should adapt as her maiden score came over the turf here three back going seven furlongs.
#3 Pea Stone set the early fractions opened up a clear lead heading for home and was nailed late, coming up a nose shy of the top spot. The filly has been right in the mix in her last three tries at this level, but is now coming off a hard fought effort where she earned a career top. Does she regress off that effort? A tough call, but after going off at 10/1 and 15/1 in her matrix tow starts, the price is going to be lighter in this spot.
Horse Wagering

#9 Djokovic, #5 Deflationary Fears, #4 R J Hankering
#9 Djokovic is a $310K purchase making his debut for the Moran barn that is showing a equal for 10 assess (with a +ROI) with first time starters. This gelding should be tight and ready to go off works at Fair Hill. The gelding is sooner than Grand Slam out of a Trempelino mare that has dropped a couple of good turf runners in Bunny Rabbit ($149K) and Unruffled Roar ($226K). Bravo takes the call, but is looks as if the jock came in to keep the ride on Drift Majesty in the eighth racetrack, his lone other mount on the card. On the other hand, perhaps he showed up to ride this guy? After all, Drift King is 20/1 on the ML.
