Best Bet Belmont r2 Market Stryke; Last start was up in distance and leading into a very strong headwind. Both starts prior it was run down by better horses than it meets here. Back to 1400m suits. I’ve been following Chad’s Me Dad closely purely because it is a half sister to Starthefriar. Shown glimpses at trials but so far yet to show much on race day. If she’s anything like her brother then 1400m and ridden with cover could help her improve at big odds.
Blackbooker Belmont r4 Bitofmerit ; Undefeated at trials and at only start when winning effortlessly against stakes performed horses In Buzoom and Champagne Dame. My concern is it’s almost 3 months between runs and resumes off no trial. Bookies aren’t risking him at $2.05 and I would have to see him in the mounting yard or at the very least see market support before taking those odds. On ability he would be $1.50 ish but Crypto Queen is very fast and Story Book gets the camp on both with Pike in the saddle so if he’s not fully wound up he could be vulnerable late. My suggestion ; watch the market and if he drifts slightly to around $2.50 then gets some late support yes , If he drifts past $3 then just put him in your blackbook and watch for the future.
Mad Roughy Belmont r8 Amber Mamba ; Has won 2 from 15 , 1 on debut and 1 2nd up last time in work , both at massive odds. The 2nd victory knocked off our very own Prize Pursuit (still bitter lol). All other runs have been hopeless so for whatever reason she can pull a fresh run out of the blue. Currently 50s you’d expect she jumps closer to 100’s and I’m talking $1 win $9 place just in case she bobs up.
