Best From The West - May 7

3 minute read

Every horse has their respective price and while Caralabek has been costly in recent efforts happy to stick with him and give him one last chance.

Trained by Adam Durrant Caralabek has painfully being narrowly beaten at his past two starts but can atone in the second event at Belmont on Saturday.

Only lightly raced the son of Hala Bek has displayed plenty of ability and has only missed the money once from eight starts.

The step up to 2100m should certainly aid his chances and he appears well placed with the added aid of Johnston-Porters' claim.

Using Timeform weight adjusted ratings he sits atop on recent performances and while lined up against a few handy types he is tipped to have their measure.

Currently installed a 3-1 appears a more than worthy gamble as we have him marked closer to a 2-1 chance.

If you've been with him at his past two starts we suggest you definitely stick with him as the Belmont circuit should further help his claims.



The Robert and Todd Harvey trained Tradesman has returned two impressive performances to begin this campaign and appears set to peak in the sixth event.

Having only been narrowly beaten first up behind Lunar Eclipse, Tradesman went on to confirm that figure when finishing third last start.

Marked just shy of his career peak he appears set to produce his best racing third up and will no doubt relish the return to Belmont (won three of four).

Tradesman is unbeaten over the mile and gets in very well at the weights after Aaron Mitchell's claim.

Currently installed a 7-2 chance appears a more than worthy gamble as if priced aggressively we have him the clear 2-1 favourite.

From the awkward draw he is expected to roll forward and be in this for a long way.

As a side note, TopBetta will offer a minimum of $20K for Saturday Metro Mayhem and while Ascot won't play a part it is definitely worth checking out - Click Here .
