The Listed Belmont Oaks and Aquanita Stakes will headline the nine-race card at Belmont Park this Saturday afternoon. The track was rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but with little to no rain on the forecast, it is expected that the surface will improve into the Good range by raceday. The rail will be moved into the +5m position for the entire circuit, with racing set to kick off at 12:04pm AWST.
Belmont Oaks Tip: Luvnwar
It was hard not to be impressed with how easily Luvnwar took care of her rivals in the Listed Belmont Guineas, when the Michael Grantham-trained filly cruised over the line to record a dominant 1.4-length win. The daughter of War Decree settled behind the speed and peeled off the leaders back to take over half-way down the home straight, but never appeared to get out of second gear. With a similar run from barrier two, Luvnwar should be able to bring up a winning hat-trick in the feature.

Aquanita Stakes Tip: Manzor Magic
Manzor Magic took advantage of a slow speed over 1600m at Northam and led the field up for the first time in his career before careering away with a massive 2.9-length victory first-up. The Grant & Alana Williams-trained gelding had to carry top weight and race on Soft ground for the first time in his career, but he handled it all very well. If Clint Johnston-Porter can push forward and settle on speed, Manzor Magic will prove tough to run down in the concluding stages.

Best Bet at Belmont: Deamber
Deamber was one of the runners featured in The Follow Files following her impressive fresh run at this track over 1300m, when the Stephanie Bakranich-trained mare was beaten by Fluro Neuro by half a length. On that occasion, the daughter of Vert De Greece made a long, searching run from worse than midfield and was only beaten by a horse that had a much more economical run. From barrier five, Jason Whiting can settle much closer to the speed, and if Deamber lets down like she did first-up, she can go one better.

Next Best at Belmont: Pearly Nugget
Pearly Nugget was way too good for her rivals at this track and trip on June 26, when the Stephen Miller-trained galloper ran over the top of the leaders with 200m to go and booted clear to win by 1.9 lengths on the line. After settling midfield off the fence, this daughter of Snippetson showed a blistering turn of foot when asked for the ultimate effort at the top of the home straight. With good speed expected in this contest, Pearly Nugget can attempt to replicate last start and prove too strong in the final 300m.
