Belmont   26 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

AMELIA PARK PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 6.8).  

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of unraced runners but expect plenty of early pressure. THE AGENCY (1) jumped an 18-1 chance on debut and only went down narrowly in a race similar to this. Chris Parnham hops in the saddle this time, replacing the apprentice and he maps for a similar run this time around. Can go one better. THIS'LL SHOW YA (7) resumes without a trial after bumping into some smart ones when right in the market last campaign. Carbery seems to be getting back to form and while the wide draw is an issue, her best is good enough to be winning a race like this. MAI ALOHA (9) is on debut for Team Williams and won her most recent trial in impressive fashion at Lark Hill. CJP rides from a favourable alley and it wouldn't surprise to see her have an immediate impact. GREAT EDITION (4) trialled well recently and can make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with The Agency in the opener.
