Belmont Race 1 - Mc Equine Surfaces (Rs0ly)
JUNIPER (2) has made a faultless start, winning a Mdn at Northam on heavy ground before taking a CL1 at this track as a well-supported favourite. She was slow away last time yet still picked up strongly to beat Artie's Storm. Back to 1000m doesn't look an issue and she can continue her winning ways. ANACONDA JONES (1) brings the more exposed Open form, having placed in all four starts and chased solidly behind Dawn Dancer at this track, with an easier assignment now in his favour. CHIXFROMTHESTIX (4) comes through stronger Listed company and is already a track-and-trip winner, so she can rebound into the placings if she puts the latest run behind her. TWILIGHT STAR (8) is the fresh element, a debutant with four trials behind her, winning her latest heat. CJP's booking is a good push and she can make an impression. MYSTIC SMILE (7) moved well in a recent trial and can fire a shot on resumption with the aid of an inside barrier.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a solid third behind Dawn Dancer in Open company at this track, beaten just under two lengths after travelling well near the speed. His previous third at Ascot had merit too, as he raced wide throughout and still kept on. Nice trial between runs and he rates highly on his first-up effort.

Returns from a six-week let-up with an unbeaten record and the strongest winning profile in the race. She was slow away in a Class 1 at this track last start, yet still picked up to beat Artie's Storm as a well-supported favourite. Form out of her last start has stood up and although back in trip, she can remain unbeaten.

Debuts for Daniel & Ben Pearce after winning a Lark Hill trial, so there is at least some race-day readiness in the profile. He is a $140,000 yearling purchase and gets a 1.5kg apprentice claim, but the stable's debut figures are only modest and there is no race evidence yet. Race experience is the gap against sharper exposed form.

Comes back from the Listed MAX SIMMONDS STAKES, where she was unwanted in the market and finished second last behind Big Red Zoom after racing keenly. She had been seventh at this track the run prior, beaten just under three lengths, but she does own a win at this venue and trip. This looks to suit much better.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh on debut at this track, beaten just under four lengths behind Spinarella in Open grade. She raced keenly at stages and did not get into the race from a rearward position. Has to settle better to lift into contention.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a tough debut task in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at Ascot, where she finished second last and was beaten just under nine lengths. She did make some ground from well back but was never in the hunt. G3 debut was too tough, and a close trial helps, but race form still has to improve sharply.

Returns from a five-month spell after ending last campaign with a third at this track over 1300m, beaten just over two lengths by Swift Ruler after being ready to pounce before tiring late. Her previous fifth behind Achy Breaky was also sound. Can play a leading role.

Makes her debut with a useful trial platform, including an easy Lark Hill win at her latest public hit-out. First-time blinkers are a notable gear change and should help sharpen her for the 1000m. CJP's booking signals intent and she can make an impression right away.
