Belmont   11 Feb 2026
 
GOING: G(3)

DRUMMOND GOLF HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with Holdout leading the way. WONDERFULLY MADE (4) stands out. Resumed with a comfortable win at Belmont over 1400m and is back on track. She was in the market at Group level three back and has more to offer over the longer trip. Maps for the run of the race and Pikes' booking is a decent push for her chances. Tougher sorting the remainder. NET ZERO (1) is much better than the form line suggests. He's been around the mark in better grade and likely had excuses at Bunbury the latest. Needs some luck from the inside draw but the 3kg claim brings him into it. MYZOOM (13) resumed over 1400m at Ascot in solid order and will appreciate the step-up to the mile. She can be in the money with average luck in the run. BONDI'S SON (7) resumed at Ascot and did a good job when beaten 2.5L from back in the field. Gives every indication the 1600m will suit and he keeps the handy 3kg claim. Won't be far away with a good ride. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wonderfully Made to win.
