in the 7th race we have Moorebella vs Square Dancing in a $40K claimer. Two of my favorite turf jocks in NY face off against each other with Coa having the mount on Moorebella and Prado having the mount on SD.
Moorebella has been the definition of consistency this year having failed to finish off the board in 9 races so far (9 4-2-3). She returns from Canterbury where she ran an even 3rd in a small stakes race. Other than that, she has been running against straight claimers ranging from $25-$35K.
Square Dancing got a little later start on her year as she did not begin racing until mid April. Her first race of the year off a long layoff was in N1X company that she promptly won. Her next two out were N2X where she finished 2nd both times. Her last race out was an overnight stakes at Belmont where Chantal took the mount going 1 1/8 and ran 7th. She cuts back to 1 mile today, which I think is a better distance for her and she also gets the services of Prado back, who was aboard for her two N2X races.
Should be a very good matchup and I think I have to take the value and go with Square Dancing at +143
