Cool Belmont thoughts

Hey guys...might go down to the track tomorrow...so heres hoping theres a few winners in there...good luck! Forecast is light southwesterlies tomorrow with the weather clearing after some morning showers...expecting a dead/ slow track so recent wet form will be the go I think tomorrow.

R1 Dont like these small fields...Rose Of Thunder ran a good 2nd behind Tillibelle on a heavy track and it looks like the winner...danger is Sandy Point who will be forward and goes well fresh...has wet form. Alpha Nova has ok Northam form...might check Sandy Points price otherwise no bet for me.

R2 Cant go past the toppy Stratazoa...Granthams horse just keeps on winning (extra 200m his best distance)...prefer Pure Black on more firmer ground...Tillibelle has strong form (track and distance) as does Rons Folly and Perfect Outlook has been finishing on and might be the surprise package. The prices will dictate whether a bet is worth making.

R3 Bradstreet, Beaucreton and Our Selection will ensure that the pace up front is brisk, Pride Of Surtee and Charming Story will sit in behind them and try and run from the turn if the gap opens... Im hoping this will allow Spun Glass (PJ on board) and The Boyfriend (who flew home last start on slow Bel trk for 4th 2200m behind Stratham Streaker) to try and steal it...from Pride and Charming Story. Yes, you guessed it Im looking for some value here and will each way Spun Glass and The Boyfriend...go wide with multis.

R4 Winning Scene raced greenly down the straight last start behind Foxy Date over 1300m on slow Belmont track and still finished only a length away...with the Blinkers on should be focussed and ready to win. Tavelling Soldier, Trevanna and Steel Halo for minors. (Keep an eye on the market for Siesta Park...from Kersley stable and has freshened well after an unsuccessful first campaign-include). Depending on price of W Scene...will probably be really short..on how I bet.

R5 Would definitely have had Imaginaire as my pick if the track was firm after 2 very good runs over 1200m (incl a last start 3rd with strong sectionals behind Stanz the Man on good ground)...if it runs might still back it to beat Armidale Ave, Denver Express and King Risca-the dangers- and go wide with the exotics.

R6 James The Jet has been given a months rest by Vern (has wet track form at Belmont) and should finish strongly (S Miller on board) following a brisk pace set by No White Flag (who might try to steal this) ...Mambo Italiano's last start finish for 2nd over 1300m behind Baltic Boy makes him a danger and Greenstone Boy finished a neck behind Wire Detonator over this distance so must be respected. Honest Record has been running on and worth keeping onside. JTJ and Mambo the ones to watch...

R7 Hope to have some $$$ in my pocket be now lol!!! Not sure about this one...Durrant must like his chances to get PJ on board Antico Mio will have to watch the market...Coalseam and All Our Smiles the likely favs and Sonic Cruiser has been trying hard...Port Jackson might try and lead all the way...which could be good for Rosskaen who flew in last start for 2nd on a heavy track behind Jaunty Lad (weaker field tho) might do a small ew Rossk and check bets for PJs ride...

Overall, hard to find value but I must NOT be greedy...Best of luck and hope the $$$ keeps rolling in...
