Belmont Race 6 - Glenroy Chaff Hcp (C3)

CAVALLO RED (2) is the one to beat on his strong record at this track and distance, and he looks well placed third-up after coming back from Saturday company. His latest Ascot run was plain, but this shapes much better and he can land the knockout blow third-up. NICKELPLAY (9) is the immediate danger after a first-up third at Ascot, beaten a long neck despite racing keenly and having difficulty getting clear near the 200m. She has been a regular placegetter rather than a winner, but the 3kg claim keeps her right in calculations. POLYVANOVA (6) brings honest recent form, a sound 1400m record and a good history with this jockey, though she now faces a stronger meeting after her Bunbury second. SEVEN CANDLES (1) resumes off two trials and has the back-form to run well, especially with a prior win from one try around 1400m. CENTRE BOND (3) is next best.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last preparation second last in a NMW1Y at Bunbury, beaten six and a half lengths as favourite after racing wide throughout. His previous Ascot second in a BM66+, beaten just over half a length by Auto Cruise, reads well for this level, and he has won his only run around 1400m. Has strong 1400m back-form and can run well if sharp enough fresh.

Comments

Has an excellent profile back at this track and distance, where he has two wins and three placings from five starts, and the first-time blinkers add further interest. He was unwanted in the market and only fair when 14th in a NMW1Y at Ascot, but this is easier than Saturday company and his previous fourth here over 1200m was full of merit at long odds. Easier than Saturday company now and looks set to rebound.

Closed a little better when sixth at Ascot last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Perfume Princess after settling rearward. That was still another unplaced run, and he was second last at this venue two back in a 1 Metro Win after covering ground and being steadied near the 400m. Finds himself in the mix in what's a suitable race on his best form.

Eased back from Saturday company after leading and weakening badly in a BM66+ over 1800m at Ascot, finishing second last and beaten just over seven lengths. He also led and tired when fifth in a 1 Metro Win at Kalgoorlie the run prior, so the pattern has become a concern. A minor hope if the shorter trip sparks improvement.

Resumed in Saturday company at Ascot and finished eighth in a 1 Metro Win, beaten just over four lengths at big odds after settling back and only keeping on. He was also moderate when sixth over 1800m at Ascot before the break. Must lift sharply.

Ran a sound second at Bunbury last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Treasured Legacy after beginning well and only being run down late. This is harder than that provincial assignment, and she was well held in a NMW1Y at this venue two back, but her 1400m record is solid and she has one win and seven placings from ten rides with this jockey. Harder meeting, but the 1400m profile keeps her right in it.

Went close in a small-field Class 2 at Kalgoorlie last start, beaten a neck after sitting behind the leaders and working home evenly. That was a clear lift on his previous last in a NMW1Y, where he jumped awkwardly and raced keenly. Looking elswhere.

Comments

Had a legitimate excuse at Ascot last start when eighth but beaten only a length and a half by Javelin Strike after being held up in the straight. The prior Northam run in Class 5 grade was plain, although he was steadied passing the 300m. Looks a solid place hope with the claim.

Comments

Placed first-up at Ascot, finishing third and beaten a long neck by Javelin Strike despite racing keenly and having trouble getting clear near the 200m. She is very reliable for a place, with six placings from nine starts in the past 12 months, and the 3kg claim is useful. Consistent place profile, and the claim gives her a winning shot.

Comments

Lightly raced and still improving, but this is a stronger test than the Northam Class 1 where he finished second, beaten a length and a half after covering ground and laying in up the straight. He had earlier won a Mdn at Northam from Miss Billie Jean at long odds. Place would be no shock.

Comments

Finished fifth at Bunbury last start behind Treasured Legacy, beaten just under six lengths at big odds, and was safely held behind Cosmic Treat two back despite being held up passing the 100m. He is a track-and-trip winner and has a useful 1400m record, but he has been unplaced in all eight starts across the past 12 months. Others appeal more.
