R2. Sign On Handicap - Belmont 1 July 2017

Terry Leighton | Fri 30 June, 2017

1000m | 1:13PM

Strong Convictions

Selections

1. BELTER

5. HIGH CONVICTION

2. TOP OF THE CLASS

The return of High Conviction and subsequent appointment of The Wizard is likely to see this daughter of Snitzel start at a pretty thin quote. The Miller yard doesn't mind a bet and I suspect she will be well supported here on the back of a very strong trial. From barrier 8 her major issue will be crossing the speedy Dia De La Raza, My Laina and Patapus. None of them are near her class but if she is stuck 3 wide at her first run for a year I would be a little concerned.

Belter looks the obvious danger after sitting deep on a track (which was clearly favouring the rail) and still being too strong. That run was full of merit and she is the obvious danger. Top Of The Class back to 1000m does not excite but is the logical danger if they overcook it out in front.

The $4 Belter compared to the $2.10 High Conviction looks to big a gap. I'll let the price influence my selections here.
