Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Irritable Rodnee (Belmont Race 5 No. 3)
This four-year-old Zoffany gelding trained by Stephen Miller has two wins and three 2nd places from nine starts. At the end of last campaign he finished 4 lengths 9th over 1400m at Ascot on 20 January, then was spelled for 24 weeks. He resumed with a 2.23 length win over 1400m at Pinjarra Park on 8 July on a heavy track. That was a tough win and he has won second-up before. Looks the likely winner.

Each Way
Diablerie (Belmont Race 7 No. 4):
This eight-year-old New Approach gelding has eight wins and 17 places from 65 starts. He ran on strongly for 0.16, 1.58 lengths 3rd over 1200m on soft going at Ascot on 12 May, then had an eight week let-up. He was slowly away and held up in traffic before making some ground in the straight for 6.12 lengths 6th over 1200m at Belmont on 10 July. Normally goes well second-up and looks worth an each-way bet here.

Ghobella (Belmont Race 2 No. 4):
This three-year-old Blackfriars filly is the early favourite in this Class 1 Handicap over 1700m. She got back 2nd last on the rails and weaved through the field for 0.78, 0.57 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Northam on 1 July, then raced up to hit the lead at the top of the straight and fought gamely but was swamped in the final 50m to finish 1.3 lengths 4th over 1400m on a heavy track at Belmont on 14 July. She will probably place again but with only one win from 11 starts I am prepared to risk her at this price.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet lobs in the first and is ready to win. Should get every hope from the kind draw. Best Bet Buy Me A Birkin (Coonabarabran Race 1 No. 6) Hasn't missed the placings this prep from 3 goes and won't get a better chance to win than this.

Key Comments Very keen on the chances of the best bet who should relish getting off heavy ground and looks well placed racing back on its home track. Best Bet Zaragoza (Kembla Grange Race 7 No. 2) Surprised it isn't favourite. Enormous win 2 runs back beating a smart one on this track. Found the going too tough fresh but but bumped into a handy field including The Black Cloud who has won convincingly up in grade since. Tough draw but has the

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. Emma Lines rides again and has a 1.5 kg claim, and this time she has draw the rails. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments A 7 race meeting on the synthetic Poly Track where the rail remains in the true position.
