Belmont Race 1 - Mc Polytrack Plate
OPTIMUS PRIME (2) resumes here with a nice trial under his belt after showing good ability en route to the Magic Millions where he was strong from the back. Pike hops on board for his return and things looks to work out nicely for him over 1300m fresh. Wouldn't surprise to see him return on a winning note. IN GOOD NICC (1) finished over the top to score by 0.5L in fine style, clocking some impressive splits late in the race. The rise in trip looks right up her alley and CJP remains in the saddle. Showed plenty of ability last time out and with a slightly better draw this time, she can go one better. ACE QUEEN SUITED (7) won well two back before settling further back last start and finishing 1.8L behind IN GOOD NICC. The inside draw this time is a big tick and Nottle's claim comes in handy. Can bounce back to winning ways. HARBOUR RISE (3) missed by 0.7L last start behind IN GOOD NICC and that form looks the strongest for this. EDDIETEMPLE (4) can give a bold sight again.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 4th of 9 at this track 2yo Swp on June 6 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Achy Breaky carrying 57kg at $9. Second-up led to the turn then faded 6th of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on June 20 over 1200m, 2 len behind In Good Nicc carrying 57kg at $7.50. Jumps from a good draw so worth including.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 8th of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on June 20 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind In Good Nicc with 57kg at $101. Better for that experience but happy enough to avoid.

At debut, faded in the straight 7th of 9 at this track 2yo Mdn on June 17 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Fugaku with 57kg at $19. Draw helps, but hasn't done anything to date to suggest he can win this.

Recent form sound. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on June 20 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind In Good Nicc with 55kg at $5. The race before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track 2yo Mdn June 3 over 1200m in soft going defeating Bella Roccia carrying 55kg at $2.50. Going the right way and she can get back to winning ways.

Was well-supported at debut, raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track 2yo Mdn on June 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Fugaku carrying 55kg at $3.30. Rates well and worth including among the chances.
