Belmont 7th July

Looks a really interesting card with many open races.

Rail out 12m with cutaway to 9m.

Race 1: Court Crusader showed plenty last prep and produced a solid trial. The Puzzler has plenty of speed and Tropical Spice has been placed behind the smart Extra Beat. Enraptures trialled well and have been really taken with the trials of War Gun although it has drawn poorly.

Tips 4 -2 - 12 - 10 -11 - 1

Race 2: Some good exposed form. Amelia's Lad ran against better class last time in. Mscar goes okay. Catlantic ran a great race last start and this is easier. Numerous Secrets, Hello Hero (trialled well) and Rubitrove and Gypsy Myth are chances.

Tips: 4 - 2 -3 - 1- 6

4 CATLANTIC $4.60
1 MCSCAR $5.10
3 NUMEROUS SECRETS $10.10
2 AMELIA'S LAD $11.00
6 HELLO HERO $11.50
10 RUBITROVE $16.90
11 GYPSY MYTH $38.10
12 COMFYAZ $81.10

Race 3: Not a great race. Can't see a lot of speed. Gomambo has ability and looks like it is suited to further. Zentusi drops in grade, Myelle is going well and I give a rough show to Scottish King. The 3,4,6,7 are place chances.

Tips 5 - 12 - 2 - 10 - 6

12 MYELLE $2.30
5 GOMAMBO $5.20
2 ZENTUSI $10.20
10 SCOTTISH KING $24.80
7 MORTGAGE $44.10
3 ESPRIT DE LAGO $99.10

Race 4: Found this the hardest of the day. The Factor trialled brilliantly and will start fav. Orianui Eruption, Red Mercedes and Classical Snow all trialled well. Lexdane had good Sat form last prep and Cold handel won well on debut and had no luck second up. Royal Edict is drawn terribly but going okay and Miss Vinnoire's first up run was good.

Tip 6 -1 -7 -13 -12

Race 5: Really like Master Force's past two runs. Tenacious Dane, On The Boil and King Elcram are the main dangers. Best Feature, Dawinner and a rough show to Irish Action who will be last but can finish off quickly.

Tips 3 -2 -1 -6 - 4 - 17 - 15 - 5 (Go wide)

3 MASTER FORCE $4.20
2 ON THE BOIL $5.80
6 KING ELCARIM $7.80
15 BEST FEATURE $8.90
17 IRISH ACTION$20.70
1 TENACIOUS DANE $25.80
14 ASCOLI $35.20
4 WRECKLESS INTENT$37.30

Race 6: These are always a bit of a raffle. Once A Week showed a good turn of foot last start. Darjaan is going well and Dheka is most interesting. Finished off really quickly in much stronger grade. Chances to Classy Clan, Verissimo and Beyond Dispute.

Tips 10 - 3 - 5 -6 -1 -4

Race 7: This looks a race in two. School Rumble is flying. Twilight Hero has been disappointing but does have blinkers back on today. Megem's Boy will appreciate this class and Underline has come back okay. Red Jester struck from last prep and Raging has ability. Gift Of Fury goes well fresh.

Tips 7 - 10 - 9 -1 -2 -6

7 SCHOOL RUMBLE $3.40
10 TWILIGHT HERO $5.30
1 MEGEM'S BOY $8.20
2 UNDERLINE $12.00
8 AM SO TO $25.00
6 GIFT OF FURY $27.70
9 RED JESTER $42.70

Race 8 I hope I am winning coming into the last two. Plenty of non winners in this. Amianan is the class but poor record at trip and has bar shoes on. Sunrange boxed on really well last start. Challis has the ability and is well in with claim. Interange, Melrose Prince and St Pierre all finished close up last time.

Tips 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 8 - 1

8 ST PIERRE $5.40
5 INTERANGE $5.70
7 MELROSE PRINCE $7.90
3 CHALLIS $10.80
2 SUNRANGE $14.30
9 OKAY GEOFF $15.50
1 AMIANAN $24.80
14 UNIVERSAL MIST $41.30

Race 9: Galoubay trialled well and has the class. Happy to forgive Dante's Gold and Dash of Brains last runs. Corvalis and Luv Playing To Win are chances. Iron Butterfly trialled okay.

Tips 6 - 3 -1 -2 -5 -7

6 GALOUBAY $3.50
3 DASH OF BRAINS $5.60
1 DANTE'S GOLD $7.50
5LUV PLAYING TO WIN $11.20
7 IRON BUTTERFLY $13.90

Good punting.
