Best Bet Belmont r3 Frantic War (Place) ; 2yo 1000m races are run one way ; flat out . There will be a host of runners charging out of the gates and looking for a spot. From barrier 6 I envision we will go forward at the start and try and slot in immediately behind the Frantic tempo . We have both race experience and fitness on our side and if it turns into a War it most likely works in our favour. After a flashing light run first up behind Mia Gusto , we went to Northam to take on the older horses where he didn’t handle the firm track and pulled up with a minor issue . To finish a clear 3rd considering the circumstances was a good effort. Mia Gusto actually beat us in a trial before winning on debut and looks smart. The horse that ran 2nd then won it’s next start. As the only winner in the race it looks extremely well placed with only 53kgs and the low draw. Exporose should be there abouts with a run under her belt.
Betting Strategy ; $10 / $2.40 Best available at time of writing (Bet 365) . Mia Gusto looks awfully hard to beat but see no reason why we can’t run a place behind her. We will go 10 / 90 % split in case she runs into traffic , doesn’t run up to expectations or we jump out of the ground in the softer conditions.

Best Value Belmont r5 Rogues Point ; 37 start c1 horse but there was money around to suggest he could run a cheeky race this track and distance last start and that he did , running 2nd to Frigid . That horse then went straight to a Saturday race and started at $2.20 , winning comfortably as a Lucky Duck Best Bet. No horses of that quality here so $8.50 each way looks a solid bet.
