The Listed Bolton Sprint will headline the nine-race program at Belmont this Saturday afternoon, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 11:44am AWST. With more rain forecast for Thursday and Friday, it is expected that the track will remain in the Soft range after being posted as a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances. The rail will move out to the +4m position for the entire circuit.
Bolton Sprint Tip: Red Fifty Three
Red Fifty Three will return from a four-month break in the Bolton Sprint, where the Grant & Alana Williams-trained gelding will attempt to record his first win in Listed grade first-up. This son of Gingerbread Man was very good when he won fresh over 1200m at Ascot last preparation, winning by a half length in a Benchmark 72+ Handicap. William Pike rode this gelding in his lone trial over 950m in readiness for this start. If Pike can settle midfield off the fence from barrier three, Red Fifty Three can return with a victory.

Best Bet at Belmont: Berbere
Team Williams and William Pike will also combine with Berbere in the last race of the day. This four-year-old gelding recorded a dominant all-the-way victory over 1400m in his most recent start, claiming a 3.8-length win second-up for the preparation. The son of Gingerbread Man will stay in a similar grade at the same weight and jump from barrier six. If Pike can push forward and settle on speed, Berbere should prove too good once again.

Next Best at Belmont: Allez Allez
From his last four runs this campaign, Allez Allez has recorded two wins and two second-place finishes, showing that he is going as well as ever. Last start, the Michael Lane-trained gelding led for the majority of the 1400m journey but was overrun by Triple Jay in the final 200m to go down by a long neck on the line. With a wet surface and good speed expected, this son of Danehill Express will get favourable conditions, and he will be able to settle behind the leaders from barrier five. If Brad Parnham ups the ante on the home turn and allows Allez Allez to boot clear with 300m to go, he will prove very hard to run down.

Best Value at Belmont: Bird’s The Word
Bird’s The Word has been a model of consistency recently, recording three placings and a win over his last four starts for Daniel & Ben Pearce. The son of Galah settled midfield on the fence and ran home strongly along the rail to finish second behind Boots Like Bruce over 1200m at this track. Now that he drops in class and finds a wet track, it is expected that Bird’s The Word will relish the conditions and give a good sight at each-way odds with online bookmakers.
