Belmont Race 3 - Swan Draught - Belmont Classic (L)

The feature of the day now and LADIES PRO (3) gets the nod. She was far too good in the Belmont Oaks when rounding them up and putting them to the sword with strong late sectionals. Pike can sit closer this time and she showed an electric turn of foot last time out. Can go back-to-back. WESTBOUND (1) landed the knockout blow in the Aquanita Stakes where he was just too good. This may set up differently with a small field engaged, but the inside draw is a big tick and he rates highly on his latest effort. SPECIAL COUNSEL (2) finished behind WESTBOUND last start in the Aquanita and shouldn't be as far back today with a smaller field engaged. Improving nicely as he steps out in distance and he won't be far away. PONY UP (4) can sit up front from the outset and make every post a winner. AUTUMN GEM (6) can sneak into the finish.

Most recently favourite; won by 2.75 len at this track LR Aquanita July 4 over 2000m on a soft track defeating Special Counsel with 56kg at $2.05. Before that 7th of 16 at this track in the LR Belmont Guineas on June 20 over 1600m, 4 len behind Hot And High with 57kg at $9. Too strong in the Aquanita and should get every chance to repeat the dose.

Most recently sat on the pace when 2nd of 13 at this track in the LR Belmont Oaks on July 4 over 2000m, slow going 3 len behind Ladies Pro with 56kg at $16. The run before that couldn't go on with it; 14th of 16 at this track in the LR Belmont Guineas on June 20 over 1600m, 7 len behind Hot And High with 55kg at $201. Should give another bold sight from the front and she's already got experience at this distance.

Most recently 5th of 13 at this track in the LR Belmont Oaks on July 4 over 2000m, slow going 5 len behind Ladies Pro carrying 56kg at $26. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 12 at Northam Cl3 on June 25 over 1600m, head behind Shimonoseki with 57kg at $7. Would need to improve but she may be able to sneak into the placings.
