Belmont   15 Aug 2018
 
GOING: S

Salinger (Rs0mw) 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Showers Late   Rail: Out 12m. (Pent: 6.6).  

Mr Genoa may lead. Of the raced Mr Genoa has shown a bit of speed but expect a first starter to take up the running. MR GENOA was strongly fancied on debut and raced on the speed before drawing clear for a comfortable win. Further improved and excellent winning chance again. KAKADU was a dominant winner at last run as juvenile. Drawn wide but should be running on strongly again. SOY TAN RAPIDO was wide throughout and little went right on debut before another spell. Fitter for a trial and worth another chance. STARALIGN was fourth on debut and can only be further improved. Plenty of the first starters have trialled but WHAT ABOUT MOSES was an effortless winner at his latest and should run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Mr Genoa.
