Sydney's turn for group one racing and while two of the three group one's are wide open the rest of the card is destroyed by scratchings and left with favs dripping in red odds on sauce. Locally at Belmont wild weather overnight and gale force winds have me reluctant to tip on the meeting but we do like a couple.
Best Bet is pr3 Royal Missile. Beating odds on fav and today's rival Bonny Be Good on it's merits last start, see no reason why it can't do it again and due to Pike riding Bonny it is fav again. Nashville Cat for LDR trainer Jason Miller looks a danger.
Pr6 Fathom's Of GoldClose up 3rd to Falcon Crest and Material Man is good enough for this race. Before that won two in a row easily over similar distance.
Sr2 Condor Heroes Usually wary of betting on the early 2yo's but this one couldn't have been more impressive at the trials smashing the clock and putting daylight on the others. Both Sportsbet and Luxbet have run 2nd 3rd bonus bet up to $50 promo
Ar3 Honey Steels Gold Stayer in form that has been mixing jumps with flat racing and winning both. Confident it can win again.
Crown Bet Multi Insurance ( 2 out of 3 bonus points) *fixed odds only
Pr3 Royal Missile, Pr6 Fathoms of Gold, Sr2 Condor Heroes
