Best Bet Belmont r4 Treasured Crown ; Appreciated the step up to a staying trip first time this prep when put into the race a long way out and smashing them in the heavy conditions. Rock hard fit and facing another wet track , I’ll lean his way over the favourite Zaratite. He is 3rd up from a long spell and stepping up from 1650m. Both Peters Investments horses , Williams vs Durrant , Pike vs Parnham , sets up an intriguing clash. Hopefully Parnham turns it into another real staying test and the race fitness wins out.

Best Value Belmont r7 Spookwood ; Don’t ask me where this 6yo’s form has come from but it’s last 3 starts for 2 wins and a second have been full of merit. Scratchings have dented the value tag somewhat for this tougher assignment however from the draw a repeat of it’s recent runs has him fighting out the finish. Each way bet over the deserved favourite Notorious One. If his manners ever get sorted he could even have a big race victory in him , very hard to beat but also hard to ride and hard to invest money on.
