Belmont Race 1 - Swan Draught Plate
MORNING THUNDER (1) was a very impressive debut winner at Ascot before going for a break, rounding up his rivals to win by 2L. Hasn't been sighted publicly since, but the booking of Pike is a big push for his chances. Can pick up from where he left off with this race shaping similarly to his debut win. FARNOVA (6) has led and faded her past two starts, missing by 2L last start at Belmont. The form out of that race has been solid and she now draws a better barrier. Can find the front a little easier today and now third-up into the campaign, she can get the job done. BEYOND A DOUBT (2) is knocking on he door of a win, missing as favourite last time out. This is tougher but he's got race fitness on his side. Debutant colt LUCKY SHOT (3) can also make his presence felt.
