Belmont Race 3 - $5M Byd Quokka 18Th April 2026 Hcp (C3)
An open race. NEW TARGET (7) posted two easy wins at Belmont and then was just topped off this grade over 1000m at Ascot as a $2.4 co-favourite. Maps for the run of the race, and she can bounce back. NICCIMOTA (2) was the co-favourite and was beaten a nose. She was quickly back on track and draws low here and keeps the handy 2kg claim. Will go close. WHO'S BENT (1) was a comfortable CL1 winner at Ascot and then wasn't beaten far there over 1000m in stronger than this. The 3kg claim brings him into it. NATURE'S RECKONING (6) had raced well at Stakes level before delivering a dominant win as favourite over 1300m at Scarpside. Stepped up to 1800m in the Ascot Guineas last time, and that was a stretch too far. Drops back to 1000m after a month away, and she should be running into it.

At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Ascot Rtg 66+ on March 14 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Pingers carrying 55kg at $15. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.2 len at Ascot Cl1 February 15 over 1000m defeating Ripper Farooq carrying 58.5kg at $4. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Deserves consideration.
