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 The feature is the $50,000 Metric Mile over 1600m (race 7). The track is sand and is rated good and the weather is fine. Best Bet Miss Polly (Darwin Race 1 No. 6) She came from the outside barrier to be runner-up on debut over 1200m here.
