The phenomenal Chad Brown is yet to fully assert himself at the head of the trainer's standings at Belmont Park, but he is fancied to extend his three-winner lead on what looks a terrific card at the New York venue on Saturday evening.

The 41-year-old handler, who is closing in on 2,000 winners in what has already been a stellar career, could plunder a couple of the stakes races thanks to a number of high-class entries. The first of whom is Royal Charlotte, who will break from the inside post in the Grade 3 $100,000 Vagrancy Handicap (9.32).

A 6½f sprint for older fillies and mares on the main track, the Vagrancy could prove a contest that is fought out between the leaders with a steady early gallop expected.

The likes of Jakarta, Victim Of Love and the morning line favourite Come Dancing, who returns to sprinting trips after failing to stay in the Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park on her return, may well set the pace.

Carlos Martin's runner is interesting if she gets back to her best. Indeed, she would probably prove impossible to beat in this field if she put in her best race, but she was so bitterly disappointing last time and I think she could prove vulnerable again.

Royal Charlotte is expected to sit in behind the aforementioned trio and given she is said to have come plenty for her reappearance second earlier this month, she could pick up the leaders in the stretch.

A five-time winner from eight career starts, Royal Charlotte is a filly who may well have been disadvantaged by an inside trip last time on a muddy track here and worked well on this track earlier in the week. I'll take her to land this Grade 3 prize en route to better events.

Brown has two representatives in the following Grade 2 New York Stakes (10.04), but they look to have landed in a tough race in which the early speed could be slow to develop.

Most of these runners want a lead, including the likely market leader Call Me Love, and a predicted slow pace could turn this into a sprint in the straight.

If that happens then I wouldn't want to be on any horse other than Mean Mary, who should get to the front with ease before setting her own fractions under Luis Saez. She may get the jump on her rivals.

This unexposed filly, who is four from six in her career, has proved that she is capable of striking in good company with a couple of Grade 3 successes at Gulfstream Park already this year and her potent turn of foot could enable her to clear away once again.

We probably haven't seen the best from Graham Motion's filly yet and her 97 Beyer figure last time out matches up well in this field.

The main supporting race on the card is the Grade 2 True North Stakes (10.36), which looks likely to turn into a match between the outside-drawn Promises Fulfilled and Firenze Fire.

I tipped the latter last time out but he didn't produce the goods on a sloppy track and the ten-time winner may prove vulnerable again from a wide draw.

With that being said, Dale Romans' Promises Fulfilled is the one to beat in this field, especially if he can get an early lead under Saez from gate seven.

A touch more unexposed than this main market rival, Promises Fulfilled, who has won seven races from 17 starts, is mightily tough to pass when he's on the front end and was last seen at this track in winning form in the John A Nerud Stakes in July last year.

His two subsequent efforts at Saratoga and Keeneland were disappointing and he has to bounce back, but he's had a long layoff and it's likely that he will be ready to fire on his return. His five-furlong breeze (59sec flat) at Churchill earlier this month was blistering.

Uni (blue): surging clear in the Breeders' Cup MileCredit: Edward Whitaker

Brown dominates the market for the feature Grade 1 $250,000 Just A Game Stakes (11.08) with the rejuvenated Newspaperofrecord taking on Breeders' Cup Mile winner Uni.

The former, who was a crack juvenile before failing to show up in her three-year-old season, looked back to her best on her return but given she goes from the front, she might just set this up for her stablemate, who has best turn of foot on the turf out of any horse in the US.

Uni, who was formerly trained in France before switching to Brown, for whom she has won eight of her 12 starts, produced a huge career-best at Santa Anita in November when coming from miles off the pace to beat Got Stormy by a length and a half with more in the tank.

A repeat effort would make her tough to hold and, given her record fresh and this small field, she is expected to return in winning ways under Joel Rosario.
