Belmont Race 7 - Swan Draught - Farnley Stakes (L)
The feature of the day now and CORRECT CHOICE (6) makes the most appeal. He ended last campaign in top order over the mile here in what ended up being a strong form reference. His recent trial was solid and the inside draw should see him get every chance. Can pick up from where he left off. CHARINO (4) bounced back with a bang last start, storming over the top to win at this track and trip with that form being franked here last week. He drops a stack of weight and the wide draw is no issue with his racing pattern. Can raise the bar. ROYAL TORONADO (9) has trialled impressively coming into this, though he is 0/6 when fresh in the past. Short of his best trip, but Pike sticks with him and he can make an impression. TOO DARDY (3) is hard to knock on his recent form and can play a leading role.

At the latest run was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a neck at this track on August 15 over 1400m defeating The Crimson Pirate with 60kg at $5.50. The start before that 7th of 15 in a Rtg 72+ at this track on July 25 over 1400m, 3 len behind Zourun Run carrying 60kg at $4.60. Flew over the top to score last time and this shapes similarly.

Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Ascot Diggers Cup April 25 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind Outspoken Lad carrying 60kg at $1.70. Previously first up; third of 10 at Ascot Rtg 72+ February 21 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Immortal Bliss carrying 56.5kg at $21. Short of his best trip, but his recent trial was superb.

Most recently got back early 6th of 9 in the LR Idyllic Prince (Goodwood Sprint) at this track on August 22 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5 len behind King Of Light with 59kg at $91. The race before that 5th of 12 in a Jockey Celeb at this track on August 1 over 1400m, slow going 2.75 len behind Too Dardy with 55.5kg at $18. Would have to improve.
