Best Bet Belmont r2 Duchess of Gossip ; Got close to Falcon Trader over 1200m , big gap to 3rd , then beat up on maiden battlers over 1300m. Falcon Trader has franked the form since. Considering one of the main dangers China Spirit is now scratched and it’s still around the same odds as Wednesday , it now looks the best bet of the day.
Belmont r7 Bitofmerit ; 4/4 first up , all over the 1000m. He has soundness issues which is why his campaigns don’t last long but his trial indicates he’s ready to go. They will absolutely fly in this which will make holding out a horse with his turn of foot out very difficult. providing he can hold a position midfield early. $2.60 (in from $3) is getting skinny but he’s always had a boom on him.
Belmont r9 Man Crush ; Has bounced back into top form last two . When he found the top last start he didn’t look like being beaten. Noted front riding jockey Holly Watson retains the ride and if she can cross from out wide he will be awfully hard to beat. Puli might make the first part difficult.
R9 Novelties ; 1.4.6.7/1.4.6.7/1.3.4.6.7/1.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10
Best Value Belmont r 10 Bonjoy ; Only won a c3 first up but did it with arrogance from near last . This is wide open and she has a lethal turn of foot . Has already firmed into $6 but at least it’s still each way.
