Greg’s Belmont Best Bets
Greg Hooper’s Preview
RACE 1
DISCO SMILE drew the wrong part of the track at Pinjarra and ran well. She should tuck in behind the speed and finish powerfully. TENTERDEN looks very close to another win. This is a drop in grade to what he contested last start. STREETS OF LONDON has the blinkers going and drops back to 1000m. COLETA has fresh claims.
Numbers – 9 – 3 – 7 – 11
Suggested Bet – Disco Smile each-way
RACE 2
ROUGHEAD produced a tough win on debut at Pinjarra. If he can cross from his wide gate without burning too much fuel he can make it back to back wins. SOMETHING BIG didn’t get the best of luck on debut. His trials suggested he has plenty of ability and Harvey goes on. BURNING MAGIC looks close to a win. QUEEN’S PARADE drops in class and is well in after the claim for Clint Johnston-Porter.
Numbers – 2 – 6 – 7 – 8
Suggested Bet – Roughead and Something Big
RACE 3
OUTTATHAWAY never got warm over the 1000m last week. He can improve sharply with the rise in trip. FOUR WHITE FOX was unlucky when resuming from a spell. The five weeks between runs is a query but off that run alone he goes close. PREMIUM REWARD battled on solidly after being caught wide at Pinjarra. LIZZIE sits on the speed and has claims.
Numbers – 3 -2 – 12 – 10
Suggested Bet – Outtathaway and Four White Fox
RACE 4
LE SCHILLER should fire straight to the front and give them something to catch. MUSGAVE won well when returning from a freshen-up. WAR KSAR has ability and he should get a pie run from a good draw. SECRET DOUBT is suited with the drop back to 1700m
Numbers – 1 – 3 – 2 – 4
Suggested Bet – Le Schiller win
RACE 5
CHARLESTOWN was a dominant winner when having his first run for the Justin Warwick stable. He settles right on the speed and is the one to beat again. EYES WIDE OPEN is close to another win. BERGIO can improve on a subpar effort last start. SPECIAL JEWEL is always a chance at this level.
Numbers – 2 – 5 – 1 – 6
Suggested Bet – Charlestown win
RACE 6
SHRAVAN should be nearing peak fitness at his third run back from a spell. He should tag the speed be hard to run down. YSMAEL put in an eye-catcher last week. He’s never raced over the 1400m but is giving the impression it may suit. ANGEL SKY has claims if she can get over from her wide gate. PHANTOM CHOICE leads and gives a sight.
Numbers – 4 – 1 – 2 – 5
Suggested Bet – Shravan win
RACE 7
GIGIDY GIGIDY GOO will get a lovely run behind the speed and can finish strongly. The rise to 1200m is a plus. REGAL GLEAM leads and is the one to run down. SEALED WITH A KISS resumes for the Justin Warwick stable. BIG CAROLINE is very close to another win.
Numbers – 1 – 3 – 9 – 11
Suggested Bet – Gigidy Gigidy Goo each-way
