Belmont   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING: H(8)

UNITE RESOURCING HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Lots of speed predominantly from Kelvinater, Sunlit Fresco and Resonator. LITTLE SILVER (2) won well two back at Pinjarra before being gunned down at this track in tougher company most recently. Back to a BM66+ today with an inside draw and the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue. Expecting him to be close to the speed throughout and prove hard to hold out. SUNLIT FRESCO (11) was only 1.7L off the winner first-up when tiring late in the race. That form has already worked out nicely and she's expected to be fitter for that performance. Unbeaten second-up, she'll be handy in the run and she can play a leading role. DEFERRED (5) never really looked likely first-up but this looks to suit her much better as she steps up in trip. The inside draw can see her just off the speed for Gaerth and her second-up record is very good. Can bounce back in a big way. KRAKEN TIME (9) resumes without a trial off a 70-day break and gets the blinkers on now. Can improve. KELVINATER (3) is racing in good order and can't be left out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Silver gets the nod.
