Steve Matthews' Belmont at the Big A selections for Thursday, Oct. 17

FOURTH: Teller to Win was nearly 14 lengths clear of fourth runner when third in debut at Parx; ready for prime time. Twilight Tango made menacing middle move when third in first start; very playable. Cha Cha Wren logged five tight works for first start in eight weeks; worth long look.

FIFTH: Dunedin made sustained run to win last at Kentucky Downs; takes another. Fore Harp drops and could play out as the dominant speed. Straight Arrow is training swiftly and packs potent kick on best efforts.

SIXTH: Bolt d'Plata logged career-best number on Big A loam this past winter; breakthrough predicted. Torpedo Run has burned the chalk players four times in a row; you've been warned. Confabulation was a clear-cut second in last; right in the thick of this.

SEVENTH: Dancing Dean should find today's 11-furlong trip right in her wheelhouse. Victoria's Dancer, another that could appreciate marathon distance, was pace-compromised last time; big-time player. Elle Est Forte is riding a forward line on the numbers; must consider.
