Belmont Race 4 - Wittens Irrigation & Design (Bm72+)
LORD GANNICUS (1) is racing in top order, just missing out on another victory last start in a photo finish. Cooper was on board there and she remains in the saddle again today. Can take up the running once again and that form looks the key formline in this event. Can go one better this time. ARCADIA KNIGHT (5) was the one who knocked off LORD GANNICUS last start in that close finish, but does meet him worse at the weights today. Likely to be back in the run again but with that looking the key form reference, he's expected to be finishing strongly again. INVESTMENTSTRATEGY (2) disappointed last start at this track and trip but will be fitter for that effort now third-up into the preparation. He'll need a touch of luck from the draw, but his best form stacks up and he can return to that level today. STREET BAND (6) wasn't far away last start over 1400m and has claims on that effort. SISU WARRIOR (3) is not out of this on recent efforts.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Pinjarra Rtg 72+ on August 9 over 1600m, on a slow track; nose behind Arcadia Knight with 57.5kg at $3.80. The race before that led but faded 2nd of 9 at Pinjarra Scarpside Jockey Celeb on August 2 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 1.4 len behind Sensessional carrying 54kg at $4.40. Hard to knock his recent form and can go one better this time.

Last start 6th of 10 at this track Rtg 72+ on August 16 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Objectify with 57kg at $15. The race before that second last of 9 at Pinjarra Scarpside Jockey Celeb on August 2 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Sensessional carrying 54.5kg at $5.50. Going well. Better than he's shown recently and can return to form.

Last start settled back and ran on when 8th of 10 at this track Rtg 72+ on August 16 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Objectify carrying 59kg at $7.50. The run before that 4th of 10 at this track Rtg 72+ on July 26 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Sunny Honey with 56kg at $81. In the right race this time and is definitely worth including.

The run before that second last of 9 at Pinjarra Rtg 72+ on August 9 over 1600m, slow going 9 len behind Arcadia Knight carrying 54.5kg at $91. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.
