Belmont r2 Princess Lacillia ; Debuted as a heavily backed favourite over 1200m on a soft track and won effortlessly. Gets identical conditions here and expecting a repeat. Rope Them In was huge on debut also , that was 1000m from the back of the field. Will have to sustain an even bigger run over an extra 200m to reel in the fav if she runs up to expectations .
Best Bet Belmont r8 Vast Art ; Not much separates the trifecta in the 1400m Raconteur Stakes market wise for today’s 1600m Belmont Guineas . Vast Art drew one , got out at the right time and run down Rusty Dreams in the shadows of the post. Both draw wide this time and both are expected to settle back and try and swoop from the back. Vast Art is already proven at the distance and is versatile enough to overcome the barrier. Although Upper Limits is drawn better than the other two I still expect it to get back. To my eye it had Vast Art’s back last start and finished off well but the margin between them was growing . Demolish and I Love Your Smile can give cheek at odds . Saintorio’s best would be good enough but it’s a quick turnaround from his flop in the Racontuer, there is very little natural pace in this race if they decided to go forward .
