Best Place Bet Belmont r2 El Patron ; Known as a non winner but has a 50% place record with 3 wins and over 200k in the bank , I’d be happy to own him. Think he sits outside the lead today and that suits him better. If the leader , possibly Rock In Wonder , kicks he will chase him all the way to the line and you never no , might get the bob! Either way he can fight all the way and run a drum at $2.50 . I will go 5% win just in case.
SRM El Patron (1) Rock In Wonder (2) both top 3 /4. ; No prices yet , top 4 very likely , top 3 riskier but much better odds!
Belmont r4 Final Siren ; Both his first up run in the Beaufine and his tick over trial indicate he has come back in fine order. Gets a clear map advantage over his main rival in Stormchaser who will have to pull out something special to run him down.
SRM Final Siren (4) Win Stormchaser (6) Top 3. Basically adding some juice to the winning price of Final Siren. If you think Stormchaser is going to win then take the quinella instead.
Best Bet Cosmic Crusader ; Has a lethal turn of foot and is clearly the best horse in this going forward imo, in fact i could see it as a genuine lightweight Railway Stakes horse. If he can sustain his finishing burst over 1400m first up then he is too classy.
Belmont r7 Snow God : Punters have decided the map advantage and senior jockey over the very progressive Yorga Pride is the way to go and I have to agree. He will be in the firing line and she will be making her run down the middle. The price between the 2 is becoming ridiculous but I can’t see her giving away that much head start.
SRM Snow God (10) Win ; Yorga Pride (4) Top 3 Scully (7) Top 4. ; Scully looks the safest option to add something outside the two obvious with Chris Parnham drawn to get clear air on a horse who is attacking the line well. A quinella on the two favs might be good insurance in case Yorga is one out of the box and Cooper pulls out a peach.
