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 There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the
