Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Cold Shizzle (Belmont Race 1 No. 2)
With two wins and two places from five starts, this three-year-old Awesome Rock gelding has a good start to his career. He resumed from a 24 week spell for a 0.6 length win over 1200m at Belmont on 17 November, then went on with it for a 0.6 length win over 1200m at Ascot on 8 December with a good final 400m race sectional. Looks the main hope again.

Count Grundy (Belmont Race 6 No. 1):
This four-year-old Rogano gelding has one win and four places from nine starts. When resuming from an 18 week spell he got caught in traffic before 2.2 lengths 5th over 1200m at Belmont on 17 November, then he led and was tiring late but hung on for a narrow win over 1400m at Belmont on 1 December. Should be fitter now and looks an each-way chance in this Class 1 handicap.

Best Lay
Fashion Queen (Belmont Race 7 No. 5):
This four-year-old Al Maher mare trained by Adam Durrant is the early favourite in this No Metro Wins Last Year handicap over 1600m. She started favourite and finished 1.6 lengths 2nd over 1400m at Ascot on 30 October, then started favourite when 3.6 lengths 2nd in the Pinjarra Grandstand Cup over 1500m on 5 December. She is getting expensive and I’m prepared to go around her here.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
