Belmont Race 2 - Rockford Partners (Bm78+)
GOD HAS CHOSEN (2) kept his unbeaten second-up record intact with a solid win three weeks ago. Mile shouldn't worry him in a slowly run race and he has to be the horse to beat. WATCH ME DANCE (3) is racing well without winning and gave a good sight in a Listed race against the mares last time. Sure to be in the finish. DOUBLE DIGIT (5) is working into form and tried hard when runner-up two weeks ago at 1800m. Down in weight and can show up. FRIARESQUE (4) and CABLE GUY (7) are the other hopes.

Third-up and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 4th of 8 at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm78+) on April 9 over 1400m, 1.2 len behind Staralign with 55.5kg at $2.90. Second run from a spell favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm72+) April 23 over 1400m defeating Staralign carrying 58.5kg at $2.30. Even fitter after second-up win and hard to stop again.

Last start laid out in straight; held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Ascot in the LR Sheila Gwynne on April 30 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Amasenus with 60kg at $13. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm78+) on April 9 over 1400m, 1.1 len behind Staralign carrying 57.5kg at $8.50. Racing well and has to be respected.

At the latest run laid out in straight; 5th of 7 at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm84+) on April 25 over 1800m, 5 len behind Sentimental Queen carrying 55kg at $5.50. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm72+) on March 26 over 1600m, 3 len behind Sentimental Queen carrying 59.5kg at $11. Disappointed last time but can do better.

Most recently 2nd of 8 at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm72+) on April 30 over 1800m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Baramagic carrying 57kg at $26. Before that 5th of 7 (slowly away; slowly away (1l); struck interference on straightening) at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm66+) on April 23 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Piccola Signora carrying 58kg at $51. Improving with each run and is an each-way chance.

Last start struck interference at start and keen; 8th of 10 at Ascot 2yo+ (Bm66+) on April 30 over 1600m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Otheroneson carrying 54kg at $31. The race before that eased back early on 5th of 7 at Geraldton 2yo+ (Bm70+) on April 21 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Minus Looks with 58kg at $7. Hard to make a case.

Third-up and placed third-up in the past. First-up elevated heart rate; raced on the pace before fading second last of 13 at Geraldton 2yo+ (Bm58+) on April 10 over 1400m, 21 len behind Corn Cob carrying 57.5kg at $26. Last start struggled in the run home; 5th of 7 at Pinjarra Scarpside 2yo+ Hcp (C3) on May 5 over 1609m, 6 len behind Shake The Bloom with 57.5kg at $21. Prefer in easier.
