Mike Beer's Belmont Park horses to watch from week of June 3-7, 2020

MAGNOLIA'S LADY
Trainer: Linda Rice
Last race: June 3, 5th
Finish: 4th by 4 3/4
Beyer: 55
Big, good-looking filly failed to break sharply in her debut sprinting on turf, but she showed some run in that spot despite catching some traffic along the inside behind a front-running winner. Half-sister to dirt stakes winner Split Time rates to improve quickly for excellent second-out trainer Linda Rice.

HELENE JACQUELINE
Trainer: Richard Vega
Last race: June 3, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 3 1/2
Beyer: 60
On turf for the first time, she was held up behind horses in the stretch but finished well once clear to be gaining on a front-running winner at the end.

CORELLI
Trainer: Jonathan Thomas
Last race: June 5, 9th
Finish: 7th by 3 1/4
Beyer: 95
Broke slowly and spent most of his stateside and 2020 debut in behind horses at the back of the pack in a tough running of the Tiller. Was racing on gamely in the stretch while unable to get fully clear.

MORE GRAYTFUL
Trainer: Brad Cox
Last race: June 6, 10th
Finish: 7th by 16
Beyer: 57
Facing a solid field over a sloppy track, he ran up on horses early and steadied hard, plummeting to the back of the pack, and could not recover. Can do better next time with a clean trip.
