The Belmont meeting is in serious doubt with a heavy 8 surface predicted to be smashed with more wild weather before and during the races. I have done the form in case but would not be betting until at least after scratchings in the morning . Whatever the outcome it will be a very tough day so hard to bet with confidence. Proceed at your own risk!
Best Bet Belmont r1 Gold Maker ; Crying out for 1200m and possibly further , he should be strong late on a very heavy track which he is bred to handle. The favourite Shmoov Moover looks very smart at trials but debuting over 1200m on a heavy track is a big ask , he would want to be very fit .
Best Value Belmont r4 Canny Jack ; Surprised first up at 100 to 1 when missing by a head . He is a two time heavy track winner and although he is only $18 this time , handling the conditions today is a big advantage.
Belmont r5 Defferred ; Undefeated this campaign , all on wet tracks and she just gets stronger and stronger. This is no harder and while it’s hard to bet on a even money pop in these conditions , I expect her to justify it.
Belmont r7 SoSo Lucky ; She has been so impressive at her first two starts , finishing with a wet sail to win effortlessly , the latest against the pattern of the day. Harder race but still no stars and she will get through the ground.
Broome r7 Awesome Chatter ; Got no favors in the Pt Hedland Cup but was still too strong. There is even more pressure in this with a stack of on pace free running types engaged. Hoping Mcgruddy sits just off them this time and he can be the strongest late. Harder race but we are getting a better price.
