Belmont Race 1

Mca Polytrack Plate

Stake: $87,200

Nice race to kick things off and PAINT IT RED (1) goes on top off a narrow victory 42 days ago. That was in this grade where she sat handy and wouldn't be caught. Off a freshen but gets the tongue tie on today and she has shown enough to suggest she can keep on winning. DESERT LIFE (6) is another who comes here off a narrow win last start, scoring in midweek company at Pinjarra as the favourite. He's likely to be in the back half from the barrier, but he finished off strongly after being held up at a crucial point last start. Can go on with the job. WHO'S BENT (3) stuck on well here last start in Maiden grade and scratched from a race on Wednesday to run here. Creates interest. EXCESS BAGGAGE (7) has shown good ability in her trials coming in and looks to get her chance on the map. Not discounting. SNIP OF ROMANCE (2) was far too good on the Fibre Sand at Bunbury and can feature.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, led but faded 2nd of 7 at Bunbury 2yo Swp on July 12 over 1000m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Twisted Steel with 55kg at $21. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Bunbury 2yo Swp July 19 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Fiery Spark with 54kg at $4.80. Off a freshen and looks to have some class about her.
