Expecting Last Stylebender to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. YAMASHITA'S GOLD (3) turned in a strong return effort over this track and trip 21 days ago, missing by 0.4L. Tsang hops on board now claiming 3kg, getting him in nicely at the weights. Can be handy from the outset and with further improvement in store, he can go one better. FLASH DANCER (1) won two in a row before tackling a Saturday race last time out, missing by 3L. His record over this track and trip is super, winning by 1.3L here just three starts ago. Chris Parnham hops back aboard today and he can return to winning ways. LAST STYLEBENDER (2) may not have handled the heavy deck last time at Belmont, though his form prior in Saturday grade was solid. O'Donnell's claim comes in handy and with the aid of an inside barrier. He'll take plenty of catching. RETURN OF THE MACH (5) will be fitter for the return run and makes some appeal with Pike sticking. GOLD VANCOUVER (4) can improve now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yamashita's Gold gets the nod.

The run before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Belmont Park on July 29 over 1200m defeating Sunset Session carrying 59.5kg at $4.40. Well placed. Wouldn't surprise to see him bounce back to winning ways. |
