Its nothing unusual but the Wizard William Pike has a ridiculously strong book at tomorrow’s Belmont Park meeting, He currently rides the fav in 6/9 and the other 3 are hard in the market. Picking the right ones to tip/back is always a challenge but I’ve settled on 3 of them and will be having a system 2/3 which covers the 3 doubles and 1 treble. The other annoying factor on these days is the Pike Tax factored into the price. I can’t find any value outside of these selections so we will just have to cop it. Anywhere that offers TOP FLUC would be the safest option.
Best Bet Belmont r4 First Encounter ; Was eye catching from the back on debut over 1200m in maiden grade. Again motored late when winning his maiden over 1400m next start , albeit narrowly. He is very regally bred and 1600m should suit even better. Jumping straight to 60+ graduation company , on first glance $2.10 looks ludicrously short. Pike Tax , Cerise N White hype and potential carnival horse , it will just have to suffice.
Belmont r6 Mack Mack ; Dropping 5kgs and maps to get a great run at his pet distance. All his form is on good tracks so a weather watch might be required considering the short odds.
Belmont R9 Rockanori ; 1200m first up at Belmont looks an ideal recipe for a win. He is an exciting prospect when he’s right and his trial indicates he’s ready. He’s already been heavily supported and carrying #Pikeinthelast, I doubt we get much more than $2.80 . Wouldn’t want it too wet at the price again.
