Belmont racing tips

—

Race 1. (14:04) Bisley Workwear Plate (1000m)

#8 – Silent Diva

BET NOW

Silent Diva is on debut for the Williams stable and getting William Pike in the saddle will drive down her odds.

The two-year-old filly by Alabama Express is bred for speed and she showed that when winning a trial at Lark Hill in a good time.

Look for a strong betting push when markets open.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (14:39) Free Entry to Belmont Park (1000m)

#3 – Kay Tee Why

BET NOW

Looking to keep his winning form going is Kay Tee Why, who won at Ascot twice already this preparation.

The three-year-old son of Nicconi won by 1.3 lengths against a good field last start as a $1.90 chance, so punters should expect similar odds.

It’s another good ride for Pike, who could have a big day.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 3. (15:16) Lawn Pride Australia BM66 (1000m)

#6 – Art of Sabrage

BET NOW

Value could be with Art of Sabrage, who owns a fresh up win, and he ended last preparation with a win at Pinjarra.

The five-year-old son of Shooting to Win owns three wins and two placings from 10 starts, so he hasn’t done much wrong in his career.

It’s a tough field, but he could sneak under the radar.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:56) Tabtouch 1MW (2100m)

#3 – Famous Dain

BET NOW

Famous Dain has already scored two wins this preparation, including a 5.5-length win at Albany last start.

The Pearce-trained gelding has yet to fire in four starts at Belmont, but that could all change with the recent win under his belt.

Pike rides, which adds to our confidence levels.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (16:34) Mrs Mac's BM72 (1600m)

#5 – Western Power

BET NOW

Consistency is with Western Power, who won at Ascot three starts ago before adding placings.

The four-year-old son of Iffraaj gets in nicely at the weights with 55.5kg, which is light enough to make a big impact in this race.

Look for each-way odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:10) Ascend Trophies 1MW (1200m)

#2 – Sky Duke

BET NOW

Sky Duke is another consistent runner with a win and five placings from his last six starts this preparation.

The son of Playing God is a three-time winner at Belmont, and he has finished first or second on six occasions over the distance.

2kg come off his back to help with the big weight.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (17:40) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1300m)

#4 – Why Me

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning fresh up effort is Why Me, who can beat this level of opposition.

He has yet to win fresh up and at Belmont, but he has been close on numerous occasions, and it’s not an overly hot field.

We expect nice odds from bookies, and he’s worth the risk.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (18:15) Racing WA Prov Champ Series Final (1400m)

#2 – Platinum Shot @ $3.90

BET NOW

Money is with Platinum Shot, who owns two wins and three placings from five starts this campaign.

The four-year-old mare has shown good consistency this season, and although yet to fire at Belmont, she’s the form runner of the field.

Having Pike riding could be enough for her to win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (18:50) Kitt Logistics BM66 (1400m)

#8 – Correct Choice

BET NOW

Form is with Correct Choice, who is already a two-time winner this preparation at Ascot.

The four-year-old has a placed from three attempts at Belmont, and he gets weight off his back and a good draw.

He’s an each-way chance worth following.

Stake: 1 Unit
