Belmont r1 Novelties ;
1 , 2 , 5 , 4 In Order ; These obvious quinella’s in small fields continue to lob at decent enough prices . I think Hasani is best placed to win again while Saam Time Lucky is the only logical danger. Saw enough in Rockstar Queen’s debut in a good quality 1100m maiden to suggest 1400m will suit better and she has Pike jumping on to make her 3rd pick.
Main Bet quinella , I find there isn’t usually enough extra in the exacta price to take the extra risk.
Trifecta in order , won’t pay much but at $1 a unit profit is profit if we happen to get it right.
First 4 In order , obviously the more legs we add the less likely and we are going pretty much in market order.
Best Bet Belmont r3 Surfside Session ; Thought the first up run was good enough to see a repeat performance take this out . Drew the outside that day and worked hard early whereas he comes up with barrier 1 today. De Grandhome’s trial was sharp , Pike in a stalking position is always dangerous and he is the quinella horse as the market suggests.
Best Value Belmont r7 Seeyouatthesession ; Thought he was a danger to Prince last time and although he wasn’t , there is more pressure up front in this harder race. Considering Prince is $9 into $5 and Session is $31 into $11 , I wish I got the 31s but there is still value in the $11 each way.
SRM : Both to finish top 4 (No’s 7 & 11)
Boxed Trifecta : 4 7 9 11 ; Empress of India and Promising map the best out of the other key chances. Hoping Pin Deep and Military Power cut up each other and get overrun .
