The Listed Farnley Stakes will headline the nine-race program at Belmont Park, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 12:14pm AWST. With more rain forecast for Friday and Saturday, the Soft 5 track rating could be downgraded if it rains during the meeting. The rail will be pushed out to the +6m position for the entire circuit.
Farnley Stakes tip: Vast Art
Vast Art has produced two strong performances without winning to begin this preparation, particularly his last-start third in the Listed Idyllic Prince Stakes. Darren McAuliffe has been working his five-year-old gelding up to peak fitness, and he will be cherry ripe for 1400m in the 2024 Farnley Stakes. This son of Flying Artie has a great record at the Belmont 1400m (4:2-1-0), and if he can find a back to follow around the home turn, Vast Art will prove hard to hold out.

Best Bet at Belmont: Deferred
Deferred’s winning streak was broken last start when running third after settling too far back on a slow tempo. The daughter of Epaulette won her first three starts of the campaign with relative ease, and although she was beaten last time out, she flew home and made up plenty of ground. With four speed influences in this contest and a faster tempo expected, Deferred can bounce back with a good win.

Next Best at Belmont: Flash Paddy
Flash Paddy recorded an impressive victory at this track and trip on August 21, running home strongly from the back of the field to win by 1.5 lengths. The son of Dane Shadow was given a smart ride by Luke Campbell, who took off at the 800m mark and kept up that gallop to sprint away late. With Campbell retaining the ride and taking 1.5kg off his back, a similar performance will give Flash Paddy every chance to bring up back-to-back wins.

Best Value at Belmont: Secret Intent
Secret Intent will be looking to go one better after flashing home for second over 1200m at Pinjarra on debut. This daughter of Playing God settled near the rear of the field and was allowed to balance up on the outside of runners before letting down with a brilliant turn of foot on a Heavy track. Although Tony Triscari will look to settle towards the rear of the field, if Secret Intent is within four lengths of the leaders on the home turn, she will break her maiden.
