Belmont Park tips and results

Our price $15.00 · SP $17.00 · Brayden Gaerth

On Cue is the value runner because the map projects him as the only genuine leader in a race with a slow tempo, a powerful edge over this 1000m Belmont layout. He has a soft-track maiden win and his jockey is in decent form, but his career strike-rate is modest and his latest run was poor.

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.90 · W Pike

The Grant & Alana Williams stable and William Pike combine at a strong strike rate, and his Lark Hill trial on soft ground was sharp. The concern is no raceday experience and a predicted back position on a Belmont circuit that generally rewards on-pace runners. If he begins well and Pike slots forward, he may be the one to beat, but the proven 1400m form of Vampi Queen gives her the edge.

Boutique Belle returned to form with a close second at Belmont over 1200m on Soft 5, finishing off strongly under William Pike. She drops to 53kg and has placed at the track before, but today's jockey change and a wide gate are concerns. Her only try at 1400m was well beaten, so she needs to prove she sees out the trip. Still, with her fitness base and light weight she is a genuine place chance in an open maiden.

Oscars No Grouch is the clear form choice. He has placed in five of eight starts, including a Heavy 8 Belmont placing, and the likely fast tempo should suit his strong late finish.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.70 · Austin Galati

Bubbles In Rio has been consistent but remains a frustrating 19-start maiden. She was close up last start at Bunbury and maps to race prominently, which is generally favourable at Belmont.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.90 · Jarrad Noske

Newhaven Prince has shown plenty of ability without winning, placing in three of five starts. His second at Belmont over 1300m on Soft 5 two runs back is strong form for this race, and Jarrad Noske is a positive booking. The drop back to 1200m and barrier 16 are concerns, particularly as his only try at the trip resulted in a midfield sixth. Still, his consistency and wet-track placing make him a genuine top-three contender.

Our price $5.00 · SP $2.80 · Chanel Cooper

Lucky I Am should find the front and is well suited by the moderate expected tempo and Belmont's on-pace bias.

Our price $6.50 · SP $13.00 · C Johnston-Porter

His wet-track record is solid and he has placed at this track and distance before. The main risk is his backmarker pattern on a circuit that is favouring on-pace runners.

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.30 · Ms L Staples

Ginger And Tonic comes off a strong third in a Class 3 at Belmont over 1400m on soft ground, a clear career-best recent run. She drops back to Class 1 and is suited by a moderate 1700m tempo, although her only previous 1700m attempt was a poor 10th. Barrier 6 and L Staples' familiarity give her a solid chance to fill the placings again, making her a strong place proposition behind the main pick.

Our price $9.00 · SP $10.00 · Natika Riordan

He maps on the speed from barrier 3 with a featherweight 51.5kg, which suits a moderate Belmont 1700m.

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Natasha Faithfull

Eternal Romance drops out of Open/Rest 1 Metro Win company into a BM54+ and brings the strongest staying form in the race. She has a Belmont 2100 Open win, placed in 2200 Open company, and has shown she can handle Soft/Heavy. Last start seventh in a stronger race can be forgiven. The Pearce stable knows how to have them ready, but the jockey's recent metro strike rate and a midfield sit are the main concerns.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.60 · Holly Nottle

Delicate Warrior has career-best form and maps well. He won his maiden over 2200 two starts back, then ran a close fourth in this BM54+ grade over 2100. The step back to 2200 is a positive, and barrier 6 gives Holly Nottle options. Soft-track form is only moderate, but he has placed on the surface and is progressing.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.10 · W Pike

Classic Ruler is a consistent performer who should be prominent in the finish. He has twice run 4th in similar Belmont Class 3 1400m races, both on soft ground, and now gains the significant services of W Pike. His racing pattern suits the track's on-pace lean, and his soft-track statistics are solid. The main concern is his overall win rate, but the booking of Pike and his fitness base give him strong each-way claims.

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.30 · Jordan Turner

Pure Obsession comes off an encouraging second at Belmont over this course and distance in soft conditions. He maps midfield and should be in the first six at the 400m, which is a strong positive at Belmont. The main knock is the lack of recent wins from his jockey combination, but he shapes as a reliable place chance behind the top two.

Our price $9.00 · SP $6.80 · J Whiting

Centre Bond is the value runner. His best form at Belmont on soft ground is good enough to feature in a race of this grade, including a Class 3 win and two placings at 1400m. He returns second-up, a scenario where he has won and placed in three of four attempts.
