Scott’s Saturday Belmont Preview
Scott Embry’s Preview
Race 1
SNITZATUNE has trialed well for a youngster stepping out over 1400m and off a soft run could give cheek on debut. LOB CITY has form alongside Salubrious which should account for most of these. ASCOT GOLD leads or box seats. HONORFIC could be a risk back in trip.
Numbers: 6 – 2 – 3 – 1
Suggested Bet – SNITZATUNE EACHWAY
Race 2
POP HERO is the noted wet track specialist in the field. Down sharply in weight he will come from midfield with a wet sail. MORE ACES improved sharply second up and back to 1000m looks awfully hard to catch. TWO SILVER TREES should get a gun run from the alley. LOCKROY was strong in the Beaufine.
Numbers: 4 – 2 – 8 – 3
Suggested Bet – POP HERO EACHWAY
Race 3
ROSEWOOD HILL picks herself on current form. Only needs to reproduce recent runs to win. THE FORGOTTEN ONE was excellent first-up and flat second-up. Forgiving him. NORTH RIDGE should slide forwards into a prominent position. SHINTA MANI will improve with a sit.
Numbers: 4 – 9 – 2 – 8
Suggested Bet – ROSEWOOD HILL WIN
Race 4
HELMS GATE has produced strong form lines all preparation, tipping him in a mini boil-over. HIGH CONVICTION went under as a well supported favorite, if she can reproduce her best she’ll take a stack of beating. SPECIAL DELIVERY should box seat from his gun draw. SHOWY CHLOE goes back and charges home.
Numbers: 1 – 11 – 4 – 3
Suggested Bet – HELMS GATE EACHWAY
SuperPick - Race 4 No. 1 HELMS GATE - Money Back – Run 2nd
Race 5
ROYAL COMMAND could be one of Bob Peter’s better youngsters. He is lightly raced and looks full of potential. GET OVER IT ran a cracker first-up from a long absence in a strong form race. ATLANTA BLUE should sit leaders back and go close again. DIA DE LA RAZA backs up from Wednesday and has claims.
Numbers: 9 – 8 – 1 – 7
Suggested Bet – ROYAL COMMAND WIN
Race 6
MINUS LOOKS will be very dangerous from leader’s back with a month between runs. Goes gangbusters at Belmont Park fresh. A KNIGHT OF PRO was extraordinarily strong off a hot tempo. That looks a good form race. GUNNAGO could lob a perfect spot just behind the leaders. FRIARESQUE may be looking for further now.
Numbers: 2 – 4 – 6 – 1
Suggested Bet – MINUS LOOKS EACHWAY
Race 7
PRETENTIOUS CHANT is racing very well and gets a genuine crack at a Listed win. FIRST AMONG EQUALS was super in the Beaufine under the enormous weight, he goes close again. PROFIT STREET drops sharply in weight and is all class. DEZZIES DREAM is drawn soft and has a brilliant first-up record.
Numbers: 7 – 1 – 8 – 3
Suggested Bet – PRETENTIOUS CHANT EACHWAY
Race 8
BY DECREE should get an identical run to when she won last start. Consistent as they come and loves the rain. GOMER WIPPLE will do it tough from the gate but he is flying. ANVIL GREEN was never given a chance last start when continuously shuffled back in running. JASPARA should enjoy run of the race.
Numbers: 5 – 4 – 1 – 2
Suggested Bet – BY DECREE WIN
