The Adam Durrant trained Keepers Court has been racing in great form this time in and appears well placed to break back into the winner's stall in the final race of the day at Belmont on Saturday.
Having been close up in all four starts this time in the son of Keeper is proven to be racing in career best form with his latest performance recording a new career peak.
Despite finishing third his performance behind Finnegan's Gold had plenty of merit and he does appear very well placed with the aid of Ben Paterson's claim.
The decision to stay at the mile appears ideal and he possesses a fantastic record at the track given he has placed in seven of his 12 attempts.
While an open affair Keepers Court does appear over the odds at his current quote of 3-1 and looks a solid play in the get out stakes.
The progressive Moonsearch resumes on Saturday and appears a more than fair gamble given his strong form at the end of his maiden campaign when finishing a close sixth behind Ms Funovits in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate.
A victor of two of his five career starts to date the son of Danehill Express appears very well placed under the handicap conditions as he does appear ahead of his current mark at this time.
His trial leading into this was solid enough and at his current quote he does appear over the odds as we have rated closer to a 6-4 chance.
From the wide draw he should roll forward and settle just off midfield and is expected to work home strongly in the straight.
The Gary Poletti trained Back To A Walk has shown plenty of ability in his four career starts to date however he does appear well under the odds on Saturday.
Lining up against a number of talented types including the in-form Little Shadow and Mia China Doll he appears a more than worthy risk as he actually sits fourth on weight adjusted ratings and would need to improve considerably to prove successful.
