Best Bet Belmont r7 Free Trade; Went to a new level at the end of last campaign. Trials have indicated he hasn’t gone backwards. He should get a soft lead in a race full of backmarkers which is unusual for a feature 1200m sprint. Not a perfect first up record however it has been reported he is only having the one run before being freshened for some big spring assignments so expect him to beat these.

Best Value Belmont r8 Flower of Scotland; Bounced back into her terrific form at this track and distance last start , demolishing an easier midweeker to make it 4/5 this prep. Her one miss was over 1400m when she was pushed wide off the track . Clearly this is a much tougher assignment but $16/4.25 for a mare in this kind of form looks juicy enough for me.
