True Gold to turn the tables and surprise them

Selections

Most attention will be centered around Tower of Lonhro, Dark Delight and On The Ropes but I'm going to throw up a bit of a rougher hope in True Gold. Both runs this preparation have been encouraging and third up from a spell he can give this a shake. Suited at the mile, loves Belmont Park and if the track holds up as a Good3 then he should find the line strongly. If Smith settles a little closer to the speed and he is within striking distance then he is a blowout hope. Meets Tower of Lonhro, Dark Delight, Danablue and Rusty Peaches slightly better at the weights from their previous outing and I think at 20-1 he is worth a few cheeky dollars. Tower of Lonhro is in perfect condition, rock-hard fit and should be contesting the finish again. Dark Delight has gone under as favourite two runs in a row, drawn awkwardly but should be in the money. Danablue is a tough on speed galloper yet to miss the money from 8 starts at Belmont, may have to work over and sit outside Rusty Peaches. On The Ropes gives Steve Parnham a good chance at bagging a winner in his return to the saddle. Steps up to a mile after two runs over the short course. First up win victory in the wet was super. Only query is the 600m distance increase.

Sheidel was backed and ridden like a good thing. Ran into a pretty smart one unfortunately for her.

3 lenghts better? How do you set that? They started beside each other, raced beside each other, and finished beside each other. I'd definitely say the ride was the difference........ Oh, and the 6kg.

Wes Cameron was not far off with Timebomb, he has been on a roll with good odds horses lately and always pays to put his tips in the novelties.
