The 7th race looks like it could have a decent pace.
Cool Tales should contest the pace. Frenchman's Cove is adding blinkers and adding Coa so I would expect him to be near the front. Plus Another Gulch has shown speed but I think he has the quickness to keep up with the other two but that might not keep him from trying. I think a horse sitting 5 lengths or so early can close and win this race.
Since these are non winners of 2 lifetime the pickings are slim but I think you should take a look at Monsooned Malibar and E Z Dollar. Monsooned Malibar usually closes and either breaks poorly or is wide or gets into traffic. E Z Dollar has shown that he is a grass horse and fits with theses horses. His sprints were OK and he showed can pass horses. Those turf sprint races were a huge upgrade from his dreadful dirt races. His last race he saved ground early and was wide coming into the stretch. He made up ground and ran a good third. I see that Hertler switches to Kent D. Kent has not been riding as well as he was last year. However he has given a lot of horses good rides on the Belmont lawn. I like that E Z Dollar can sit behind horses and close in decent fractions. The jockey switch from the 7 pound bug boy to Kent D indicates the trainer wants a pro who can ride a horse of the Belmont Widener turf course.
I think E Z Dollar is worth a win bet but I will add Monsooned Malibar in multis.
