1. Nowhiteflag | Back from 21 week spell and generally strong first-up winning at Ascot last attempt. Shaun McGruddy and Todd Harvey are a proven combination. Ideally suited. |
2. Blazing Billy | First-up after 19 week spell and placed in Lark Hill trial. Resumes well. Not the worst. |
3. Go Forward | Resumes from a 19 week spell and fitter for Belmont trial. Will come to hand quickly and ran third when last first-up at Ascot. Among the main chances. |
4. Silkinize | Short back-up of seven days. Came on to finish midfield last start at Ascot and won once this prep at Ascot five runs back. Hard to get enthused. |
5. Ay Tee Emm | Chased well to just miss last start at Ascot and two of five wins have come from dry ground. Has not won in 11 outings to Belmont before. Seems unlikely. |
6. Double Jeopardy | Resumes from a 17 week spell and proven first-up runner winning in one of eight attempts. Takes a 3kg claim. Needs the breaks. |
7. Premium Choice | On a seven day back-up. Last start winner at Ascot and two wins from six attempts this campaign. Expected to be a contender. |
8. She's Enchanted | First-up after 60 week spell and won last trial at Lark Hill. Resumes well. Right in this. |
9. Galaxy Cat | Kept chasing and just missed last start at Pinjarra Scarpside on a soft track. Drawn the rails. Won once this prep at Pinjarra four runs back. Genuine claims. |
10. Imprudent | Won once this prep at Pinjarra five runs back and finished four lengths off the winner last start at Ascot. Has not won at Belmont previously. Looking elsewhere. |
11. Madam Kisses | In great form this prep winning twice and placing in all other attempts. Coming off a win at Pinjarra Scarpside. Won all previous races as a favourite. Place chance. |
12. See Ya Champ | Let-up and down in distance. Has not won at Belmont previously. Hard to get enthused. |
