The Justine Erkelens trained Ellora May is simply low level flying this time in and it's hard to see her taking a backwards step at Belmont on Saturday.
Due to contest the fourth event the daughter of Trade Fair has continued to raise the bar having dominated her rivals at this course and distance last start.
Her latest effort saw her record time figures ahead of the bare form with all signs indicating she can improve further on Saturday.
The Grant Williams trained Astronomite has been installed favourite but in truth he has a bit to find on Ellora May and hence it presents a decent betting opportunity.As much as $4.75 was offered about her chances early doors with $3.60 the best price around time.
When pricing our market we have Ellora May installed the $2.80 favourite and hence more than happy to take the price on offer.In what should prove quite the competitive contest we expect Ellora May to come out on top.
The Darren McAullife trained Military Reign has been a distinct model of consistency and gets her chance to return to the winner's stall in the Beaufine Stakes on Saturday.
Narrowly beaten at her last two starts she continues to race in great form and under the handicap conditions on Saturday she is very well placed at the weights.
Leading rider William Pike sticks aboard (placed 11/13) and from the rails draw she is expected to find the front and will be the one they all have to run down.With better than even money being offered about her chances we feel she presents good value as we have her marked closer to a $1.70 chance.
The Chris Gangemi trained Rock Magic shapes as one of the main dangers but still expect Military Reign to come out on top.As a side note, TopBetta will continue its Skin Series on Saturday ($50K Total Prize Pool) and while Belmont won't play a part it is definitely worth checking out - Click Here .
