Races PR Belmont

Went close in a Northam Class 3 last start, finishing third behind Atlantis Beach and beaten half a length after being near the top of an open market. That followed a Mdn win at Northam when he beat Squad Goal by a long neck. Racing in good order and can't be discounted.

Ran third in a small Northam field last start, beaten just over two lengths by Flying In The Wind, but he was unwanted in the market and never really got into the race from the rear. His previous run in BM50+ grade was a plain tenth over 2200m. Has to lift sharply against these.

Resumed with a last of five at Northam, beaten two and a half lengths by Flying In The Wind after settling handy and failing to go on. His previous run was a wide, plain seventh in a BM54+ at Bunbury on soft ground. Can build on that performance getting out in trip.

Comes back from Saturday company after a strong Ascot second in NMW1Y grade, beaten just over a length by Linchpin on soft ground after leading and being claimed late. The 1650m is new, but she has won at this track and the easier assignment is a major plus. Out in trip now is the query, but she's racing well and rates highly on her recent form.

Put his Mdn away decisively at Northam last start, beating Table Talk by just over two lengths after travelling well and overcoming some difficulty near the 300m. He had earlier finished just under a length from Costa Del Darlo at the same venue. No reason why he can't go back-to-back.

Broke through in good style at Northam three weeks ago, winning a Mdn by a length and a half as favourite after picking up strongly in the closing stages. That built on a narrow second to Costa Del Darlo, and she has also had the measure of De Lago's Rock. Big win last start and the form out of that has been franked - she looks ready to go on with it.

Finished fifth in a Northam Class 3 last start, beaten just over three lengths by Atlantis Beach after being restrained shortly after the start and working home from back in the field. She was also not beaten far at Ascot first-up, but both runs came at long odds and she is unplaced from three tries around 1650m. Third-up now but needs to lift.

Was second last at Northam last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by South Hoba, and there was no clear excuse despite making some ground from well back. The prior York Mdn win showed he can finish off when things fall into place, with Shaun O'Donnell again a useful booking. In the mix.

Comes back on a one-week turnaround after finishing seventh at Bunbury, beaten seven and a half lengths by Merivale Louvain when slow away and only fair through the line. He had been last at this track the start prior after racing keenly and wide before weakening. Barrier one helps, blinkers come off, but recent form is hard to recommend.

Backs up after six days following a sixth at this track, beaten just over four lengths by Tex 'N' Cee after being tightened at the start and working home evenly. Her broader record is the concern, with one win from 32 starts and no placing from multiple attempts at this track and distance. Looking elsewhere.
