Belmont Park tips and results

Our price $9.00 · SP $10.00 · Austin Galati

An on-speed type who should find a handy spot from gate six, which suits the Belmont pattern. His best recent run was a closing third over this trip here, and the stable has changed his gear to sharpen him.

Our price $9.00 · SP $6.50 · Jade McNaught

Beaten just over a length into third here over 1200m at her only start, she looks the type to improve for the run. Drawn to settle handy with a light weight on a track that rewards on-pace runners, she fits the profile.

Our price $7.00 · SP $2.60 · Natasha Faithfull

Went desperately close over this track and trip last start and clearly relishes Belmont's 1000m, with a win and a placing from two attempts. She can race closer than her usual profile suggests, which helps given the on-pace lean of the track. The concern is that she is second-up, a scenario in which she has never placed.

Our price $8.50 · SP $19.00 · Brad Parnham

He is lightly raced with plenty of improvement to come, drawn well in barrier 3 and likely to settle midfield. The stable is a strong one and the booking of a senior rider signals intent.

Our price $3.50 · SP $1.60 · William Pike

The concern is the surface: every win has come on rain-affected ground and he has never placed on a good track.

Our price $7.00 · SP $12.00 · Giaan O'Donnell

Honest front-runner who led and was only worn down late over 1300m last start, arguably the strongest recent effort in the field. With the rail pushed out she should find the front again. The doubts are the step up to 1650m, a trip she has tried several times without winning, and a poor record at this course.

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.50 · Cassey Martinan

Consistently runs to a high standard and his recent form is as good as anything engaged.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Chanel Cooper

Fitter than most and ideally drawn in gate one, he led and stuck on for second at this trip a fortnight ago. He is consistent and well suited by the mile at Belmont.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Laqdar Ramoly

The improver of the field. He charged home for third over 1700m last start and was the strongest finisher in the race, and he now drops in grade over a trip he clearly likes. The concern is his get-back style and habit of missing the start at a track that favours forward runners, so he needs the race to set up but is a definite place chance.

Our price $6.50 · SP $17.00 · Jarrad Noske

He maps as the likely leader from a good gate for a leading stable, and a moderate tempo should let him control the race at a track that rewards on-pace runners. His two recent runs were at short trips and can be excused.

Our price $3.30 · SP $3.10 · Shaun McGruddy

Second pick and the one most likely to capitalise on the on-pace bias. He maps to sit just behind the leaders from a good gate, has won his only start over this track and distance, and was competitive in a stronger grade last preparation. He did weaken after leading over a mile last start, but the drop back to 1400m is in his favour. The query is a winless record on good ground.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.00 · Jefferson Tsang

A consistent on-pacer who gets in with a light weight and the inside draw, which should see him track the speed and get every chance. He has been around the mark in stronger Class 3 company at this track, including a win over 1300m at Northam.

Our price $7.00 · SP $16.00 · Austin Galati

The value play. He arrives in terrific form with two wins and two seconds from his recent campaign and maps to settle handy, which suits a track favouring forward runners. He is proven on good ground and has plenty of upside for his age.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Chris Parnham

Cosmic Treat comes off a narrow second in this grade at Belmont and draws the prized inside barrier. She should get the run of the race just behind the speed and is a reliable placegetter. However, her winning strike rate is low and she may again find one too good.
