Belmont Race 7 - Morley Growers Market Hcp (C1)
TEX 'N' CEE (4) has done very little wrong in four starts and looks the horse to beat after breaking through at this track over 1400m, where he beat Stern Empire by just under two lengths as favourite. His Bunbury second to Moose two runs back also reads well, and his profile is still on the up. DUCHESS OF DANCE (9) was unwanted in the market on debut but won like a filly with more to offer, coming from back in the field at Northam to beat Maybe Maybe Maybe by just over a length. The splits there were super and she can prove it wasn't a fluke. PROPERATA (2) has placed three times from four runs this season and dropping out of CL3 company after being run down late at Northam. Has early speed and will give a bold sight. ENCROACHING (3) broke his maiden here last start and draws to get every chance again.

Closed off soundly from the rear when sixth in a Class 2 at Geraldton, beaten three lengths by Vivarok after racing keenly through the middle stages. That followed a Mdn win there, where he worked home over the top of Just Petty Cash. Must lift to trouble the main chances.

Ran a solid third in a CG Class 3 at Northam, beaten a length and a half after leading and only being collared late by Wolf Whistle Zel as the well-supported favourite. He was fourth in Open grade at this venue two back after racing wide throughout, so the form has depth. The claim helps and he rates as a strong chance.

Broke through at this track over 1400m, beating Birdiebirdie by just under a length after leading and finishing strongly. He had been sound enough at Bunbury the run prior, covering ground before staying on behind Beyond Measure. Quick back-up is the query, but he is a live place chance.

Put the maiden away with authority at this track over 1400m, beating Stern Empire by just under two lengths as favourite despite being bumped early and racing keenly. He had been runner-up at each of his first three starts, including a Bunbury second after being steadied near the 900m. Still improving and looks the one to beat.

Was safely held first-up in a NMW1Y at this track over 1200m, finishing fifth and beaten just over seven lengths after settling back and having plenty to do. His previous run was a seventh in Open grade here on soft ground, where he was held up early. Place claims are his level.

Finished fourth in a BM56+ at Collie, beaten five and a half lengths by Mavis Myrtle after beginning slowly and settling rearward. He had also been second last at York in BM44+ grade, where he was at long odds and never a winning factor. Has to improve sharply in this company.

Worked home from well back to run third in a BM56+ at Leinster, beaten just over three lengths by Casino Royale after being near the top of betting. Before that he was second on the Pakenham Synthetic, beaten just under a length by King's Coronation. Place claims look fairest.

Made a winning debut at Northam, beating Maybe Maybe Maybe by just over a length in a Mdn despite being unwanted in the market. She settled back, travelled well to the turn and still had work to do before proving strongest. Open to improvement and a major chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh at Bunbury, beaten just over five lengths by Sweet Issy when sent out at big odds. Her prior fifth at this venue included a slow start and interference near the 100m, but she still failed to finish off strongly. Track and distance records make this a tough assignment.

Was last at Northam, beaten just over nine lengths by Quick Cookie after travelling within range but failing to muster in the straight. His Moora run prior was better, beaten two and a half lengths after interference in the home straight. Improvement required.
