Scott’s Belmont Saturday Preview

Scott Embry’s Preview

Race 1

JUST MAGICAL was strong at his WA debut and with the wet weather expected to stay through until the weekend he gets conditions to suit. FLYING TIME is another who grows a leg in the wet and should repeat his last start performance. THE CELT either leads or box seats. CANDLELIGHT STAR could improve with shades.

Numbers: 1 – 3 – 4 – 2

Suggested Bet – JUST MAGICAL EACHWAY

Race 2

ATACAMA SKY has a class edge over rivals, however, must contend with a big weight. If he can handle that and the track conditions he should go mighty close. SNOW LORD is a strong on-speed type fresh. IMPERIAL VENUS is in great form. SANTIAGO GIRL needs to step up in this grade.

Numbers: 1 – 2 – 3 – 9

Suggested Bet – ATACAMA SKY WIN

Note: Scott Embry has changed his tips to 2 – 1 – 3 – 9 as heard on TABradio on Saturday morning.

Race 3

COGNAC has proven himself as an extremely consistent juvenile sprinter. Back to 1000m, he will be very hard to get past. DANES MAREE belted opposition first-up but not convinced she has the speed necessary to cross from the outside. OKINA KURI was luckless in both starts last preparation, trialed well.

MY DEMI should get the run of the race.

Numbers: 1 – 8 – 4 – 3

Suggested Bet – COGNAC EACHWAY

Race 4

DUTCH SPY looks to have come back bigger and better. He is suited over further but there looks to be mountains of top end tempo. CHERIE AMOUR is in career best form. BELLS TOWER gave a great sight at 1200m. BORDER SCOT will be running on late.

Numbers: 6 – 2 – 3 – 1

Suggested Bet – DUTCH SPY EACHWAY

Race 5

SCOONER is racing consistently without getting the rewards. If Parnham can find a spot one off the fence from his awkward draw he goes close. JETOOMY will find it tougher than last start settling off the speed. GANGBUSTER is a query at the trip but is talented. VERDELLO BLUE continues to race consistently.

Numbers: 12 – 2 – 5 – 1

Suggested Bet – SCOONER EACHWAY

Race 6

PHANTOM CHOICE should find the front for the first time this preparation and could be a sharp improver. VALMONT was good first-up at an unsuitable trip. LET’S TWIST is a potentially talented stayer resuming. FIRE DETONATOR continues to savage the line.

Numbers: 6 – 13 – 7 – 8

Suggested Bet – PHANTOM CHOICE EACHWAY

Race 7

GATTING looks the good thing of the day on paper. Three runs in three weeks and the gate are the only possible queries you could have on him. WESTERN TEMPLE should box seat and do less work than anything else in the race. FONTAINEBLEAU was a strong winner of the Oaks. ELEGANT BLAST was equally as eye catching in that race.

Numbers: 1 – 2 – 10 – 11

Suggested Bet – GATTING WIN

Race 8

LUKE’S GOLD continues to go from strength to strength. This race looks very winnable on his current form. PRENTICE could be the blowout with a postage stamp weight if the track deteriorates. THE FORGOTTEN ONE was excellent first-up off the back of a farcical tempo. BARAKI BEATS is always thereabouts.

Numbers: 7 – 12 – 4 – 6

Suggested Bet – LUKE’S GOLD WIN

SuperPick - Race 8 No. 7 LUKE’S GOLD - Profit Plus – 25% (Win)
