Belmont r4 Vane Tempest ; Has matured from a flighty speed freak into a powerful short course sprinter who can lead or sit off them just as effectively these days. Went down in a dogfight with another very talented sprinter 7 days ago. Madam Torio and Acromantula could end up in a speed war with Vane Tempest parked right behind ready to strike. Pike will have last shot with Secret Plan who has an unbelievable turn of foot but can get a long way back. Good test for Apprentice Victoria Corver , I will be using the quinella with Secret Plan as a saver.
Best Value Belmont r8 Come Play With Me ; Group 1 winning stayer who was being prepared for the winter carnival in Brisbane before he couldn’t get a flight . Was running well carrying massive weights in a couple of lead up runs. Forget last start over totally unsuitable distance. Only genuine stayer in the race and is heavily advantaged by the wfa conditions. Leading Girl might have too much brilliance for him but at $21s I’m willing to play each way.
Best Bet Belmont r9 Bright Diamond ; Concede she had every chance 2nd up but it turns out the two who beat her home are pretty smart. Should get every chance again and we will jump on the PIKEINTHELAST bandwagon. Unfortunately that means taking a skinny price however this looks the perfect race for her.No Knock on The Spruiker however the draw makes it tougher this time. He goes in the quaddie.
