Belmont Park tips and results

Our price $7.50 · SP $11.00 · Austin Galati

Fast Break is the best of the rest. A sharp recent trial and the booking of the in-form Austin Galati suggest the stable expects a good fresh run. He maps to the position Belmont sprints favour, just behind the leader, and the lightly raced profile gives him upside the others lack.

Lacey Marie has clearly found form, running home for third at Belmont last week after a similar effort at Bunbury, and she maps beautifully from barrier one on a track where the handy positions carry the day.

Our price $8.00 · SP $18.00 · Shaun McGruddy

Bella Roccia is the forgotten horse. Her debut second at this track as a two-year-old was the best run anyone in this field has produced, and she gets a low weight, an inside draw and a stable in excellent form.

Our price $4.60 · SP $2.70 · Natika Riordan

Her second here over 1200m from the same barrier is the strongest course-and-distance form in the race. She will sit handy with cover on a good surface and her 3kg claim helps. She lacks a winning kick when challenged, but is a solid chance to hold on.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.10 · Chris Parnham

A good place chance, but not the pick on form.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.50 · Jason Li

His Ascot 1200m win was run to a winning standard and his last start at Belmont, beaten under a length while held up, was equally good in a stronger race than today. He is a genuine 1200m horse, sits in the sweet spot of the draw, and maps to be exactly where Belmont sprint winners settle when the pace is on. The 3kg claim is a bonus.

Our price $4.60 · SP $11.00 · Jarrad Noske

His last three runs, two of them at Belmont over this trip on Good ground, were all to a winning standard, and he went down by a head and half a length. He should get a good run just off a genuine tempo, and barrier 8 suits at this track.

Our price $3.60 · SP $2.70 · Holly Nottle

However, she has been beaten narrowly at Belmont on three occasions when making the running, and a fast tempo with other speed around may take its toll late.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.80 · Troy Turner

On his good runs Seven Candles is the best horse in the race. His Ascot win and close second were both run to a winning standard at this level or better. He has two trials under his belt and a sound first-up record. Weight and where he settles are the risks.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Natika Riordan

Nickelplay brings the most reliable recent form in the race. Her poor winning record is the knock, but this looks a soft Class 3 and she will be in the finish.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.40 · Austin Galati

His last two runs were poor, but both came over further than ideal when he led and over-raced. Back at 1400m with cover outside the leader, he gets a better run and his Belmont second at Class 1 is good form for this grade. The jockey-trainer pairing is a real positive.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Giaan O'Donnell

Polyvanova should get her own way in front with only King Of The Town likely to press her. She is a regular placegetter at this grade, and her Belmont second in September was right up to the mark.

Our price $3.60 · SP $4.40 · Chris Parnham

He was close to a winning run last time in a stronger race after settling back, and his third-up profile and track/distance win give him a clear class edge. The wide draw and top weight are concerns, but he has the best credentials here.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Laqdar Ramoly

A lightly raced mare with a strong placing profile and a good run at this track and trip two starts ago. Her latest effort can be forgiven after racing wide without cover, and she is suited by the drying ground. She lacks a win at this distance and needs to stay closer, but she is a solid place chance.
