Testamezzo definitely ticks every box for me in the Get-Out Stakes and we should be able to head home backing a winner, albeit at a fairly skinny quote. Testamezzo, winner at 7 of 10 races is 4 from 4 over 1000m, 2 from 2 at Belmont Park and 2 from 2 first-up. Runs on the 54kg minimum for the first time in his career but does meet arguably his toughtest opposition yet. Quite possibly head towards a Summer Scortcher/Winterbottom campaign and looks incredibly hard to beat here. For second I am fairly keen on 8 year old Oratorio gelding Waratah's Secret, who hasn't visited the winner's enclosure for 1085 days. Beaten a combined 56 lengths at his only two Darwin starts but returns to Belmont where he boasts 8 top two finishes from 10 starts and resumes on the back of an electric trial victory. A very sharp time was recorded and both Rebelson and Fuschia Bandana who were in that trial ran well first-up last week. Awkwardly drawn in barrier 11 but gets in well at the weights considering he was once a metro112 rated horse who has placed to Barakey and Grand Nirvana in days gone. Expecting the big ol' fella to put in a game performance and I'll be having a little nibble at him. Thateldo is another highly talented type in need of luck from an awkward draw but absolutely no doubt there will be a myriad of young lads happy to see him and his glamorous owner Brittany Taylor victorious in the last.
