Races PR Belmont

Went within a nose of winning at Northam last start, covering ground and still working home evenly in a 15-runner race. She had earlier been beaten just over two lengths in a NMW1Y at Ascot after interference late, so the recent form has more substance than the figures alone show. Wouldn't surprise to see her go one better now.

Made it two wins on end when scoring at this track in a Class 1, settling handy and finding enough to beat Secret Planet by just under a length. That followed a Northam Mdn win from Photosynthesis, and his record of two wins and two placings from six starts reads well for this grade. Will give them something to chase yet again.

Began slowly and was eased mid-race when ninth at this track last start, beaten five lengths by Empire Of Rome after making only limited ground. The run prior at Ascot in a NMW1Y was similar, settling back at long odds and finishing 14th. Place at best if he can find old consistency.

Was well found in betting first-up at this track but could manage only sixth in a CG Class 1, beaten just over nine lengths after settling back and never threatening. The prior fifth in Open grade at this venue was much better, beaten just over half a length on soft ground after interference near the turn. Barrier one gives him a path to bounce back into the placings.

Was second last at Northam last start, beaten over 11 lengths after knuckling at the start and failing to muster a challenge. That provincial run now leads into harder company, which makes the task tougher, though his prior Ascot second at big odds was a reminder he can still produce a finish when things fall right. The Ascot second before that keeps him in rough-place calculations.

Produced a strong return at Ascot last week, finishing third in a Class 1 and beaten only a length after settling rearward on soft ground. He comes back to an easier meeting, receives weight relief and is suited returning to 1200m, where his profile is sound. The top pick has the right profile to win.

Kept on for fourth at this track last start in a CG Class 1, but the beaten margin of just over seven lengths says he still has ground to make up. Two back at Ascot he raced wide throughout and was bumped late when seventh over 1000m, so there were excuses. Building nicely and can feature third-up.

Resumed with a fifth at Ascot in a Class 1, beaten just under three lengths after settling rearward and receiving some mid-race easing. She comes to an easier meeting and has William Pike aboard, but she was beaten by Kings Park last week and is on a quick back-up from that first-up run. Improvement is required from the wide draw.
