The Gangemi/Parnham combination is striking at 21%, and the gelding should settle in the ideal on-pace position that Belmont Park favours. Despite the wide draw, his class edge and tactical speed make him the standout.
Luna Will Do brings the elite Pike/Durrant combination that strikes at 21%.
The Andrews/Parnham combination strikes at an impressive 24%, and being second up provides a fitness edge. The inside draw is crucial at Belmont Park where position at the 400m is key.
Ace Queen Suited offers value with the effective Morton/Fiore combination and Lucy Fiore's strong 21% strike rate at Belmont Park. The filly has a third placing at this distance and shows early speed, but the wide barrier is a significant concern given Belmont's bias toward inside runners.

Ourgirlcanrun stands out with a perfect record at this track and distance, winning her only previous start here. Her last-start victory at Ascot was impressive, and she's proven at black-type level.
