Belmont   06 Aug 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

GLENROY CHAFF HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +15m with cutaway.  

Genuine tempo from Media Club leading Pony Up. ZOURUN RUN (3) scored an impressive maiden win last start at Northam when picking up and spitting out her rivals over 1100m. The rise in trip doesn't look an issue for her and she should get a similar run in transit this time around. Looks as though she can go to the next level now. MEDIA CLUB (9) bumped into a smart one last start at Belmont when leading the field and raced greenly on that occasion. She remains at 1400m today under similar circumstances and she's likely to be prominent in the run once more. Can give a bold sight. ROMANCE CALLING (5) sat close to the speed and couldn't be caught at Northam, proving too good over 1300m. The claim of Cooper comes in handy today and she's expected to put her best foot forward yet again. CHAMPAGNE CRUSADER (1) powered home from the back to score last start at Northam and has to be kept safe. BINKY'S WAR (7) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Zourun Run.
