Spirited Strike is the form runner with a strong second-up pattern and a proven soft‑track win. He maps to lead or press from a favourable draw, and while the 61kg is a query, he has carried similar weights and competed well. He represents excellent value as the most likely winner.

MC Polytrack Hcp (C1)
First‑up and the gear change are unknowns, but he maps well and has a class edge.
Brazen Butcher is a talented but risky proposition. His long absence and poor first‑up stats are significant negatives, but the booking of William Pike suggests stable confidence. If he runs up to his maiden form, he will be competitive.
He drops to Class 1 and should improve second‑up for the Durrant stable. The soft track is a concern given his record, but his acceleration suggests he can handle it.

Ace Queen Suited is the only runner with meaningful race experience, having placed twice in Open company. She drops sharply to Maiden grade, with strong recent form including a 3rd at Belmont. Second-up from a spell and fit, she maps to settle handy from barrier 1. The main concern is her lack of soft track exposure, but her trial on Soft 5 was adequate. She represents the most reliable winning chance in a field of largely untested debutants.
Thunder Isle makes his debut off a dominant trial win at Belmont, indicating natural speed. The addition of blinkers and a favourable middle barrier (5) suit Belmont's on-pace bias. While untested on Soft, the Awesome Rock breed often handles cut in the ground.
Bella Roccia debuts for the Simon Miller yard, which has a strong record with fresh horses. Clint Johnston-Porter rides from barrier 2, ensuring a forward position. Her trials have been moderate but the stable often improves sharply at the races.
Twice The Rain is a debutant from the powerful Durrant stable, with Jade McNaught retaining the ride after a smart trial placing. The inside barrier (4) and wet-track pedigree (by a sire that handles cut) are positives.

Lawn Pride Australia Mdn
Last start first-up was a solid 4th after a wide run; second-up with Chris Parnham and a good barrier, she maps to settle midfield and use her turn of foot. The soft track is the only query, but her action suggests she'll handle it.
Busy Fingers is the horse to beat on paper with Pike and Durrant, but significant concerns exist. She has never raced on soft ground, barrier 1 with the rail out +17m is a major risk (likely to get stuck on fence), and she is first-up from a long break. Her place-heavy record without a win is a worry.
Bambino Chino returns from a spell but has a solid fresh record and ran well at this track/distance in February (3rd in higher grade). She gets a good draw, light weight, and should settle midfield. However, the lack of soft track form and a quieter jockey reduce confidence. She is a strong place chance but may lack the finishing burst of Cawarra.
Sonic Breeze is the value runner as the only horse in the field with genuine wet-track form. Her second at Albany on Heavy 10 suggests she will relish the Soft 6. Exotic inclusion with each-way appeal.

Reliable Asset Maintenance Hcp (C5)
Under Influence is the clear top pick. His near-miss second-up last start in this class at the track was very encouraging. He boasts a strong record at the distance and on soft ground, and now gets the services of the state's best jockey in William Pike, who is in tremendous form. The inside barrier is a minor concern given the rail position, but Pike's tactical nous should overcome that. He rates as the most likely winner.
She handles soft ground and maps perfectly from barrier 6. The main query is the 59.5kg top weight, which is significant in a Class 5. She is the clear second pick and a strong place chance.
Allentown is a talented gelding resuming from a spell with some gear adjustments. From barrier 7 he can settle just behind the speed and be strong late. An each-way play with upside.
Gold Vancouver represents the best value in the race. He ran third behind Under Influence in this same class and distance two weeks ago, beaten less than a length. That form is strong for this grade. Each-way value.

Liquor Barons (Bm54+)
Thor's Angel maps perfectly from barrier 2 in a race favouring on-pace runners. She already has a dominant 2200m win on soft and hit the line strongly for second over 2100m last time. The step back up in distance and the Belmont track bias strongly suit. Despite jockey form concerns, the horse's own consistency and tactical speed make her the most likely winner.
She was strong late over 2100m, suggesting she may stay, but her racing pattern as a backmarker is a negative at Belmont on soft, where winners come from the first half. Pike can overcome some map issues, but she needs a genuine tempo and luck.
Pony Up returns to a track where she has two wins and two placings, and drops in grade for a winnable BM54+. She has already run well over 2200m in stronger company. The barrier 5 and on-speed style fit Belmont's pattern, and her jockey has a strong strike rate here. The top weight is a slight worry, but she carries it well. A solid each-way chance.
Pointless Praise drops dramatically from BM84+ to BM54+, which is the biggest class advantage in the race. He has strong form over 2200m and ran creditably last start.

Bisley Workwear Hcp (C3)
Talkaway is the most suited runner to the Soft conditions with a proven win over this track and distance on soft ground. While she lacks a high win rate, her consistency and wet track affinity give her the edge over a field with question marks.
Nine Ball has the perfect profile for this race: a wet tracker with wins on heavy and soft, a 100% second-up record, and a recent hit-out that should tighten her fitness. She maps to settle midfield from barrier 3 and peel off the rail. Genuine winning chance at each-way value.
Soso Lucky is a hard mare to dismiss given her string of placings and ability on rain-affected ground. She maps to lead or sit handy from barrier 1 and with Chris Parnham aboard (5 wins from last 20 rides) she gets every chance. The concern is her poor win rate and last start failure, but she is a proven wet-tracker and can bounce back. Valid place chance with win potential on best form.
Bird On A Wire represents genuine value. She ran an eye-catching second first-up at Pinjarra over 1200m, suggesting she's forward enough. She is 3 from 4 placed on soft ground and maps perfectly from barrier 6. The step up to 1400m and the rise in class are concerns, but she has placed over further and can improve second up.

Swan Draught Hcp (C3)
True Fiction is the standout based on form. The class rise is a concern, but the recent win was dominant and he handles soft conditions well.
Nickelplay is the epitome of consistency with four runner-up efforts from her last five starts. She maps perfectly from barrier 8, can settle just off the speed, and has proven she handles soft ground. The knock is her poor win rate—she finds ways to get beaten. Still, she is a strong place chance and should be in the finish again.
Apparatus is a genuine soft-track performer who has been racing consistently in better company. He comes off a close third in a BM60+ and has won at this class before. The wide gate is a concern, but with the predicted fast tempo, he may be able to sustain a late run.
Age Of Grace is a fascinating value runner. She has genuine class, winning a Class 3 on soft at Northam last prep, and now gets William Pike—the best jockey in WA—for a top stable. She maps well from barrier 4 and could improve sharply.

Cleanemup represents the complete profile for this Belmont Soft 6 assignment. She drops from Rest 1 Metro Win company where she ran a solid 3rd two weeks ago, now into Rest 0 Met Win where she is well placed. Her 2 from 7 soft record is strong, barrier 7 suits the track pattern, and Chris Parnham is riding at 25% winners. Expect her to settle handy, peel out from midfield, and be too strong late.
She has since placed in Class 5 and BM60+ company, confirming she is better than Rest 0 grade.
The glaring unknown is how she handles Soft 6 ground - she has never raced on anything but Good.
Lipstick Jungle is the value runner in the race. Consistency is her trademark (13 of 16 starts run top 7).
