The Listed Black Heart Bart Stakes will headline the nine-race meeting at Belmont Park this Saturday afternoon, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 12:19pm AWST. Although the track was rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, there is a lot of rain forecast to fall on Friday, which will cause a downgrade to the Soft range by raceday. The rail will be pushed out to the +5m position for the entire circuit.
Black Heart Bart Stakes tip: Phanta
Phanta returned from a 17-week spell with a brave effort in the Nicopolis Stakes at this track and trip, where the Chris & Michael Gangemi-trained gelding finished second behind Man Crush. This son of Gingerbread Man led the field up with a massive weight (61kg) and was only run over by the runner that settled behind him throughout. Now that he strikes a wet track and will have taken fitness benefit from his fresh run, Phanta can go one better in the feature.

Best Bet at Belmont: Pin Deep
After having his winning streak halted at three, Pin Deep will gain the services of William Pike this weekend as he returns to the track and trip. The Adam Durrant-trained gelding was dominant two starts back when winning by four lengths at Northam but he appeared to peak on his run in his recent start and was beaten by Real Deluxe. If Pike can settle behind the speed from barrier four and hold onto him for one final sprint at the 200m mark, Pin Deep will return to the winner’s circle.

Next Best at Belmont: Toropa
It is hard to go past the unbeaten Toropa in the final race of the day, as the Vernon Brockman-prepared mare takes on a similar field that she defeated at the track and trip on September 7. The daughter of Toronado was slightly held up halfway down the straight before getting into clear to finish strongly and record a 1.3-length win over Sentimental Belle. Although she meets the runner-up again and has a 1kg weight swing going against her, Toropa can settle close to the speed and gain an advantage on her key rivals early in the contest.

Best Value at Belmont: Pearl King
Pearl King was just nosed out on his debut at Bunbury over 1200m when the Michael Grantham-trained colt flashed home from midfield but missed the bob on the finish line. The son of Zoustar had to weave a passage between runners to get into clear running, and even though he lost the race, he showed brilliant turn of foot to figure in the finish. Pearl King was heavily backed with horse racing bookmakers on debut, and now that we are getting double-figures second-up, he is a great each-way play.

#7 Pearl King (7)
