Hi El Gordo, generally concur with your summation for today based on a dead or better track. Unfortunately the track is slow and could get worse with further predicted rain – adds to the uncertainty.

Track likely to be slow or worse on Saturday – steady rain predicted for next few days.

Did also like Rubiton Wave today, but has been scratched. Has been nominated for Saturday.

Personally I don’t usually invest on Belmont mid-weeks, tracks are often worse than dead and / or the ‘class’ of horse running around are no better than out-of-town meetings.

Might have a little EW on Ruready in race 3. Has had 3 runs here since coming over from NSW, stepping up to a suitable distance and has won over 1900m at Canterbury on a heavy track.

Might also invest a little in Pi Meson in the 2nd. Small field should suit, all the better for 2 runs from a spell and was placed over 1200m this time last year on a slow track running on strongly.

Other than that saving my money for the weekend.

Good luck with your tips.
