Belmont Race 5 - Liquor Barons (Bm54+)
CAPABLE ANGEL (2) earns top billing after backing up a strong win at this track with a sound fourth in a 1MW at Ascot, where she was beaten two and a half lengths in Saturday company. The return to easier company, her proven record at this track and distance, and the quick back-up all point to another bold showing. POINT OF LUCK (9) looks the main danger after charging home at this venue last start despite being unwanted in the market and having difficulty getting clear near the 200m. She has not won around 2100m, but repeated placings at the trip keep her right in the argument. GUNS AWAY (6) is harder to endorse on recent finishing positions, yet he is a track-and-trip winner and is fitter now after three runs this campaign. WORCESTER (4) ran second in a BM64+ at Collie after racing wide and being hampered late. Drawn the inside and can give a sight. LATHAMS WISH (7) is third-up now and a solid showing is on the cards.

Eased from Saturday company after finishing fourth in a 1 Metro Win at Ascot last start, beaten two and a half lengths on soft ground. Start prior she swept home at this track to beat Rock The Mic by just over three lengths at generous odds, and the five-day back-up is assessed as suitable. Won well at this track prior and looks the benchmark.

Comes to a harder meeting after grinding into third in a BM64+ at Collie, beaten just over five lengths, with the market having her near the top of an open race. She had earlier run second at Moora and has now placed both runs this campaign. Solid in both runs back and she won't be far away.

Improved sharply when second in a BM64+ at Collie last start, beaten a length and a half by Asarka after racing wide and being hampered near the 100m. That was country company and today is a harder meeting, but barrier one suits a runner who can race forward. Barrier one helps; 2100m record keeps him more place hope than clear top pick.

Had some excuse when covering ground at this track last start, but still finished 12th, beaten eight lengths by Capable Angel, and was unwanted in the market. His previous run was another plain effort in a Class 1 at Ascot when second last at long odds. Looking to others.

Has been safely held in three runs this campaign, most recently sixth at Bunbury when beaten just under five lengths and lacking the dash to make a serious bid. Two back he was seventh in a BM50+ at Northam, with some late interference but still only fair through the line. Place chance if he finds his old staying form.

Third-up with Holly Nottle claiming 1.5kg, but his two runs this campaign have been well below the level required. He was 13th at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds, after being last at York when unwanted in betting. Finds the right race this time and can improve.

Gets back to a track and distance where he has won, and he is dropping out of a BM64+ fifth at Collie. The concern is the lack of recent impact, with that latest run still beaten six and a half lengths and his previous BM44+ effort at York a last placing, beaten over 11 lengths after racing wide. Must lift sharply.

Produced a much better run than the market expected at this track last start, charging home for fourth after being unwanted in betting and having difficulty getting clear near the 200m. She was slow away at York the run prior and never really in the hunt. Still winless at the trip, but the closing run makes her a live danger.

Gear changes bring some interest, with a first-time visor applied and Shaun O'Donnell back on, but her recent form is thin. She was ninth at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds, after finishing last at Bunbury when also beaten six and a half lengths. Others appeal more.
