Stormchaser Alert in Belmont

Aug 9 Perth form analysis of all eight Belmont races

- 

(1) CASTLE ROAD will see many shy away from him for the 61kg but it is 1,000m and he is a Stakes winner taking on maidens. He beat subsequent Karrakatta Plate placegetter and Sires Produces Stakes winner Just Too Fly by nearly 3.5L in the Perth Stakes and he is a classy sprinter.

(7) COSMIC TREAT is on debut and heads to the races this preparation off only a 400m jumpout, but she has always shown ability.

(5) DESERT LIFE was scratched from Aug 7 to save for this.

(4) SUNSET SESSION beat a winner in his recent trial.

(3) NOBLE CONNECTION was still able to reel them in last start, even if the first 900m was run six lengths slower than average. He is flying and the new season four-year-olds have an outstanding record in Westspeed Platinum grade this time of year. Drawn a bit sticky but expecting a three-deep line to build.

(4) CATCH THESE HANDS got to the line well fresh and all eight wins are in blinkers. Important gear change.

(6) ROCK IN WONDER is always a winning chance with his freewheeling racing pattern and should not absorb much pressure.

(7) DECISION MAKER has come back bigger and better this time in.
