Best Bet Belmont r4 Staralign ; Has been in sparkling form at Kalgoorlie under big weights. Again has weight , comes to town and stretches out to 1600m. Placings to horses such as Naughty by Nature and Billy Aint Silly over the mile suggest it shouldn’t be a issue. A replacement jockey for Harvey is yet to be named so may not even turn up .

Belmont r7 Stageman ; If your a thrill seeker then follow me in in backing this enigmatic sprinter who generally flops out of the barriers , finds all sorts of trouble and erupts late. 1000m at Ascot just adds to the task but if anyone can pull it off it’s Pike. Just missed this race last year and trial was sharp.
