Belmont Race 2 - Drummond Golf Hcp
XENTARO (1) is building a handy profile, winning against the older horses in a BM66+ last start as the race favourite. Back to an Open 3YO here and the claim of Riordan comes in handy. Will need some luck from the barrier, but he might just be too classy for these. JUST WALTER JOHN (4) looks in good order judging by his recent trial and showed glimpses of talent through his last campaign. Can take up the running from a favourable alley and a positive return is on the cards. ZOURUN RUN (3) was too good here last week when winning by 1L at this track and trip. Tougher here, but she's a filly on the way up and wasn't disgraced in Listed company last campaign. Wouldn't surprise to see her go on with the job. DEEP LYRIC (6) impressed in his only 400m trial with Pike on board and he sticks today. Creates plenty of interest.

Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at this track Rtg 64+ June 6 over 1000m defeating Lord Shiva carrying 58.5kg at $2.30. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at this track Rtg 66+ on May 23 over 1000m, nose behind Baby Pearl with 57kg at $3. Back against his own age today and looks the one to beat despite the big weight.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at this track 3yo Hcp 62+ on June 13 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Bassett Hound carrying 55.5kg at $11. The start before that 3rd of 7 at this track 3yo Hcp 62+ on May 30 over 1000m, slow going 2.5 len behind Long Service Leaf with 56.5kg at $10. Expect he will be prominent.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track Cl3 on June 6 over 1200m, nose behind Poblano carrying 60kg at $2.15. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track Grad Hcp 60+ June 20 over 1000m defeating Nonesospicy carrying 55.5kg at $6. On the quick turnaround but her figures here last week stack right up.

Luke Fernie trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Won a recent trial at Belmont Park. Obviously showing enough to warrant her lining up here on debut, with Pike's booking a massive push for her chance.

Second-up. First-up after five months 3rd of 7 at this track 3yo 0Mwly on June 17 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Tidwell with 59kg at $5. Previously second-up eased back early on 6th of 11 at Ascot 0Mwly on October 18 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Just Saint James carrying 54kg at $9. Fitter but facing a tougher assignment and isn't among the top hopes today.
