Belmont Race 6 - Pkf Perth - Hyperion Stakes (G3)

WESTERN EMPIRE (1) returned with a bang in the Belmont Sprint when scoring by 0.4L in good order here. Getting out to the mile is no issue now and he's shown good versatility through his career. Pike sticks with him and with further improvement expected, he can win again. ROPE THEM IN (3) was ridden differently last start and almost pinched it, finishing 2nd to WESTERN EMPIRE last time out. He's shaped as a Railway horse the last two years and now gets out to 1600m for just the second time. Wouldn't surprise to see him go to another level. FLURO NEURO (11) was strong from midfield in the Northam Stakes when beaten 0.8L to Smooth Chino last start. He boasts a strong second-up record and it wouldn't surprise to see him flashing late. DIAMOND SCENE (5) can improve second-up and with more distance. OUR PALADIN AL (13) flew late last start. This is tougher, especially under the race conditions, but he's progressive and is not to be discounted.

Second-up. First-up after five months favourite; won by a long-neck at this track G3 Belmont Sprint May 16 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Rope Them In carrying 59kg at $2.25. Previously second-up 2nd of 16 at Ascot in the G1 Railway on November 22 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Watch Me Rock with 58kg at $5.50. Too good in the Belmont Sprint and he can go on with the job.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 10 at this track in the G3 Belmont Sprint on May 16 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Western Empire with 59kg at $26. The run before that 8th of 11 at Northam in the G3 Northam Stakes on May 3 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Smooth Chino carrying 59.5kg at $19. Won this race in 2024, ran second last year, but he mightn't be going as well this time around.

Last start 2nd of 10 at this track in the G3 Belmont Sprint on May 16 over 1400m, slow going long-neck behind Western Empire carrying 59kg at $7.50. The start before that got back early 7th of 11 at Northam in the G3 Northam Stakes on May 3 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind Smooth Chino carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Been screaming for the mile for a long time now and we finally get to see what he's capable of.

Second-up. First-up after five months sat on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Northam in the G3 Northam Stakes on May 3 over 1300m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Smooth Chino carrying 57.5kg at $91. Previously second-up ran last of 16 at Ascot in the G1 Railway on November 22 over 1600m, 7 len behind Watch Me Rock with 54kg at $151. Others seem to have his measure.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran last of 10 at this track in the G3 Belmont Sprint on May 16 over 1400m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Western Empire carrying 59kg at $61. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Kalgoorlie Coolgardie Cup on September 7 over 1760m, long-neck behind Ginger Baker with 58kg at $2.70. Not keen on his chances this time.

Second-up. First-up after seven months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Northam in the G3 Northam Stakes on May 3 over 1300m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Smooth Chino with 55kg at $13. Previously second-up made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 10 at this track in the LR Idyllic Prince on August 23 over 1300m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Phanta with 59kg at $9.50. Strong in the Northam Stakes and this looks in his wheelhouse.

Second-up. First-up after five months didn't do much in the run home; second last of 10 at this track in the G3 Belmont Sprint on May 16 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Western Empire with 59kg at $51. Previously second-up settled well back; won by 1.75 len at Northam Cl1 October 5 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Zippy Zany with 60.5kg at $13. Can improve sharply, but he'll need to.
