Belmont Race 1 - Liquor Barons (Rs0ly)
NEW TARGET (2) was far too good on resumption, settling midfield and landing the knockout blow over this course and distance. She was very impressive there and this looks to set up similarly, with her late splits very impressive last time out. Tougher here, but if she can run up to what she did last time out she'll be hard to beat. DO I FEEL LUCKY (1) is the class horse in the race, contested a BM72+ when fresh last campaign. He comes here without a trial which is the query, though Riordan's claim comes in handy and he does possess some early speed. Can return with a forward showing. MELODY FAIR (4) is on debut for the Trevor Andres stable on the back of a nice trial coming into this. Showed some zip there and this looks a suitable race on debut. Can fire a shot. SEASTIC (3) comes back in trip after a gutsy win over 1200m fresh. Can be in this for a long way. NICE SORT (5) can improve coming back in trip and with the blinkers being applied.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track Mdn February 18 over 1000m defeating Bhullar with 55kg at $11. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Ascot 2yo Swp on May 3 over 1100m, on a slow track; 20 len behind Capitola with 54kg at $151. Great chance to make it two in a row. Very impressive win on resumption and she can go on with the job.
