Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Smashing (Belmont Race 6 No. 8)
This four-year-old Playing God mare trained by Neville Parnham has one wins and four places from 12 starts. She boxed on steadily to the line for 7 lengths 7th on a heavy track over 1200m at Belmont on 21 July, then angled wide into the straight and ran on strongly to finish 3. 5 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Belmont on 4 August. The extra 200m is in her favour and she is the leading chance.

Each Way
Juliette (Belmont Race 8 No. 10):
This seven-year-old Poet’s Voice mare has two wins and 13 places from 37 starts. She made good ground when she came from last on a heavy track to finish 3.6 lengths 3rd over 2100m at Belmont on 28 July, then kept coming gamely for 1.4 lengths 2nd over 2200m at Belmont on 11 August. On a seven day back-up she is a strong each-way chance here.

Best Lay
Agent Kensington (Belmont Race 5 No. 3):
This four-year-old So Secret mare is the early favourite in this Class 1 Handicap over 1000m. Resuming after 20 weeks she fought strongly for 0.5 length 2nd over 1100m at Northam on 15 July, then let down at the 200m and raced away for a 1.9 length win in a maiden over 1000m at Northam on 29 July. It’s a tough ask to expect back-to-back wins and I’m prepared to risk her here.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
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
