Belmont

Saturday, May 24, 2025Flat5f

A couple of impressive 3YO's hold the key with WIND AND THE LION (9) making the most appeal following a solid first-up effort. Just took a while to get through his gears over 1000m fresh and now up to this trip is ideal. Can go one better this time around in a suitable event. STORYVILLE (10) was superb through The Pinnacles last year and was tested in the Northerly to round out her campaign. She's trialled well coming in but the wide draw is a niggle. Hard to ignore her class though and she's expected to be flying home at the finish. STORMCHASER (5) won with a strong figure first-up over 1200m at Ascot and he's won 2/3 at this track and trip. Fitter now and the claim of Gaerth comes in handy. Right in the mix. TOROPA (12) is a classy customer and she'll appreciate the rise in trip. Loves Belmont and can get back to her best. ICE PICK NICK (3) can feature if he's at his best.
