Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Irritable Rodnee (Belmont Race 5 No. 3)
This four-year-old Zoffany gelding trained by Stephen Miller has two wins and three 2nd places from nine starts. At the end of last campaign he finished 4 lengths 9th over 1400m at Ascot on 20 January, then was spelled for 24 weeks. He resumed with a 2.23 length win over 1400m at Pinjarra Park on 8 July on a heavy track. That was a tough win and he has won second-up before. Looks the likely winner.

Each Way
Diablerie (Belmont Race 7 No. 4):
This eight-year-old New Approach gelding has eight wins and 17 places from 65 starts. He ran on strongly for 0.16, 1.58 lengths 3rd over 1200m on soft going at Ascot on 12 May, then had an eight week let-up. He was slowly away and held up in traffic before making some ground in the straight for 6.12 lengths 6th over 1200m at Belmont on 10 July. Normally goes well second-up and looks worth an each-way bet here.

Best Lay
Ghobella (Belmont Race 2 No. 4):
This three-year-old Blackfriars filly is the early favourite in this Class 1 Handicap over 1700m. She got back 2nd last on the rails and weaved through the field for 0.78, 0.57 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Northam on 1 July, then raced up to hit the lead at the top of the straight and fought gamely but was swamped in the final 50m to finish 1.3 lengths 4th over 1400m on a heavy track at Belmont on 14 July. She will probably place again but with only one win from 11 starts I am prepared to risk her at this price.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch. Walters steers from the good draw and she is 3 rides aboard for 2 seconds. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Bubble Palace (Horsham Race 6 No. 5) Should

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.

Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. The extra distance should suit and he rates highly. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Jukebox Lucy (Barcaldine Race 1 No. 6) Jukebox Lucy has been runner-up
