GOING: G(4)

FREE ENTRY TO BELMONT PARK HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. KAY TEE WHY (3) scored an impressive win last start over this trip at Ascot, winning by 1.2L. The draw is a niggle, but Pike remains in the saddle and his form has already been franked. Likely to get back in the run but can finish over the top of them late. REPOSSESSION (1) won the Placid Ark Prelude before finishing 1L off the winner in the 3YO feature before a spell. He bolted in at the trials recently and Brad Parnham sticks from that effort. Still has plenty of upside and can return on a winning note. ANABALLISTIC (6) scored first-up before a 0.8L defeat most recently at Ascot. This is tougher, but she should be nearing her peak third-up and looks to have some upside. Can put her best foot forward. DESERT WHISPER (4) was caught by Kay Tee Why last start but will be fitter for that. Worth including. EARTHSTORM (2) will be better over further but can make an impression first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kay Tee Why can go back-to-back.
