Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Ghobella (Belmont Race 5 No. 1)
This four-year-old Blackfriars mare trained by Stephanie Bakranich has two wins and seven places from 13 starts. She loomed at the top of the straight and fought hard but was no match the final 150m to finish 5.9 lengths 2nd over 1700m at Belmont on 21 July. Last start she hit the lead at the top of the straight and kept going for a 2.9 length win over 1650m at Belmont on 28 July. Has a 3kg claim and should be able to win again.

Each Way
Trade War (Belmont Race 8 No. 6):
This four-year-old Trade Fair gelding has one win from four starts. Resuming from a 20 week spell he came from last and picked off a few stragglers for 9.4 lengths 9th over 1200m at Belmont on 10 July, then made stead ground late for 4.3 lengths 7th over 1400m at Belmont on 28 July. Both of those runs were on heavy tracks and back to soft going and with William Pike riding he should run a place.

Jag The Joker (Belmont Race 9 No. 7):
This six-year-old mare is the early favourite in this Class 5 Handicap over 1200m. She faded in the straight on heavy going to finish 9.3 lengths 8th over 1200m at Belmont on 17 July, then battled on for 1.9 lengths 2nd over 1300m at Northam on 29 July. With 4 wins from 29 starts she doesn’t win out of turn and I’m prepared to risk her here.

Key Comments Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a
