PRX 8 (OC-50k, F&M, 6f dirt) – Post Time 3:49 PM ET
Primary – #5 KAPPA KAPPA, #1 Icona Mama
Secondary – #2 Beyond Belief, #4 Bella Queen
Horse Comments:
#5 Kappa Kappa (9-5) set the pace and weakened to 6th of 8 in the G3 Comely at 9f December 2025, and she had a troubled start and finished 4th of 5 in her Skipat return May 16. She won her first three starts around one turn including the G2 Raven Run, and she is 2-for-3 with a runner-up finish at Parx.
#1 Icona Mama (5-1) was sharp winner of a local entry level allowance sprint May 27. She fired trifecta shots in her last five starts and she enjoys this trip (4 2-1-1).
#2 Beyond Belief (5-2) came up empty in the Rehoboth at DEL May 30. She ran well in both local starts and is 0-for-5 with four minor placings at this distance. She goes back on lasix and this is her third start off a short layoff.
#4 Bella Queen (6-1) exits a front running flat mile win at LRL. The 2-time local winner completed the trifecta in all four starts at this distance.
