Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Eeyore Wayz (Belmont Race 8 No. 3)
This four-year-old gelding has had three wins and a place from six starts. He resumed after 20 weeks for a 2.1 length win over 1000m at Belmont on 29 July, then was well back and knuckled down late to finish strongly for an impressive 1 length win over 1000m at Belmont on 15 August. Looks the one to beat again.

Each Way
Freedom By Choice (Belmont Race 9 No. 3):
This eight-year-old gelding has had two races from a 13 week break. He resumed for 4.8 lengths 10th over 1400m at Belmont on 8 August but usually needs his first-up run anyway. At his latest start he was trapped three wide with no cover and worked into the race before the turn then chased hard the entire straight and got up in the last couple of strides to win by 0.77 lengths over 1650m at Belmont on 22 August. The extra distance should be a plus and he is worth a modest each-way bet.

Key Comments The dirt track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Sairyn Fawke and Caitlin Tootell both have some good rides. Best Bet Shalaga (Port Augusta Race 4 No. 1) Shalaga has won his last 2 races (both at this track and distance) and won the latest by 6.5 lengths. Carries 0.5 kg more than last outing and Caitlin Tootell retains the ride. Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
