Belmont Race 1 - Mc Polytrack Hcp (C1)
BRAZEN BUTCHER (2) looks ready to fire on resumption with a couple of very handy trials under his belt. His first trial was right behind subsequent Saturday winner Long Service Leaf and Pike sticks with him on resumption. Maps beautifully and can make a statement on his return. SPIRITED STRIKE (1) disappointed fresh but bounced back last start over 1200m at this track. Back to 1000m today is some query, but the form out of his last start has worked out well and a forward showing is on the cards. WRITTEN WORDS (4) disappointed before the break but his form prior suggested he was on the rise, placing in an Open 3YO race two starts back. Nottle's claim comes in handy and a forward showing is expected. SILENT AMARDA (3) can improve on the fresh effort. LONDON'S RASCAL (5) will be fitter for a couple of trials coming in and won't be far away.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign 7th of 12 at this track 2yo 0Mw on July 30 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Country God carrying 54kg at $3.10. When resuming last campaign 5th of 10 at Ascot 2yo Mdn on April 2 2025 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Elite Beau carrying 57kg at $4.20. Won trial at Belmont Park over 1000m on May 25. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Can make a statement on resumption.

At the latest run failed to make an impression; ran last of 12 at this track Cl1 on May 20 over 1200m, 8 len behind A Summer Fling carrying 51kg at $201. The run before that struggled in the run home; second last of 12 at Ascot Cl1 on May 6 over 1000m, 8 len behind Paint It Red carrying 51kg at $201. Looks to be making up the numbers.
