2016 Turnback the Alarm Handicap Race Preview at Belmont Park

Lewis Bay 6-5 - Chad Brown trained filly has placed seven of eight career starts - three wins, three runner-ups and a third place finishes. Last time out was her only off-the-board finish - a fourth in the G1 Test Stakes at Saratoga August 6 which followed a decent second after stumbling at the start in the G1 Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park July 2, a respectable third in the G1 Kentucky Oaks May 6, a good win in the G2 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct April 9, a second place finish behind Cathryn Sophia in the G2 Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream in February, a win in the G2 Demoiselle Stakes at Aqueduct in November and a maiden score in October. Lewis Bay has been in the mix every time out and is expected to be again Saturday as she tries to bounce back from an uncharacteristic fourth. Irad Ortiz has been tabbed to ride the morning line favorite from gate 2.

Eskenformoney 4-1 - has 18 career starts for trainer Todd Pletcher with three wins, five seconds and two third place finishes.

Other graded stakes results all came in 2015 - a fourth in the G1 Cotillion, a decent second in the G3 Monmouth Oaks, a fifth in the G1 Mother Goose, a tenth in the G1 Kentucky Oaks , a second in the G2 Gulfstream Park Oaks and a third in the G2 Devona Dale Stakes included.

Flora Dora 10-1 - finished second in the G3 Tempted Stakes at Aqueduct November 4 but has placed in just three of eight starts since.
