- Race 6: No.1 Keep Attacking

We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Belmont racecourse.
Race 4: No.5 Silver Eye
The Adam Durant-trained Silver Eye is yet to miss a podium finish this time in and after four-straight minor placings, now looks ready to win.
Last start, the Sessions gelding finished bridesmaid yet again when he beat all but one home in a BM66, here over 1200m.
Given the run of the race by Lucy Fiore, the four-year-old was at his peak and took control inside the final 200m, but was gunned down again in the shadows of the post, beaten less than a length on the line.
Drawn better here in gate three, he maps to settle just behind the speed with Fiore steering the ship again in this assignment.
Six prior starts at the track have resulted in a win and four minor placings, earning him track specialist status and now four starts back, he should prove hard to hold out here.
Race 5: No.7 Queen Of Jerusalem
Another from the Adam Durant stable is Queen Of Jerusalem who is currently in career-best form and looks set to go on with it in this event.
Last start, the God Has Spoken mare made it five-straight podium finishes when she finished third in a 1 Metro. Win race, here over 2200m.
Coming from back in the field, she ran home strongly again and made up enough ground to grab the minor prize in the end.
She does no early here with the gun-run from gate one and maps to be in pride of place, near mid-field with cover.
Clint Johnston-Porter boasts a strong record with the six-year-old, scoring three wins and that last-start minor placing from his six previous rides and has the reins again for this assignment.
On a seven-day back-up, her resume shows three wins on this track and in top-shelf form now, she looks a major player in this contest.
Race 6: No.1 Keep Attacking
The Team Williams-trained Keep Attacking is third-up here and in top-shelf form, has strong claims to take out this event.
Last start, the Snippetson gelding came off a first-up win and beat all but one home, here on a Soft 7 over 1200m.
He drew gate one and was ridden a treat by Shaun Mc Gruddy, settling two pairs back on the fence.
The six-year-old found the front inside the final 300m but was reeled in and beaten home by one better on the day.
He draws gate three here and with John Allen as the new pilot for this assignment, maps to be box-seating on settling.
With two starts already under his belt, he has that advantage over stablemate Miss Skyhigh who resumes here after finishing second in the WA Oaks.
Already a winner when third-up and a two-time winner at the track, he is meeting similar company over the same trip and looks well placed to go one better in this contest.
Race 8: No.4 Triple Jay
Team Pearce saddle-up Triple Jay here who is in outstanding form this preparation and looks all set to make it four-straight in this event.
Last start, the Street Boss gelding made it a hat-trick of wins when he easily accounted for a BM84 field, here over 1400m
On a Soft 7 that day, he settled outside the leader and in the run home, took control and never looked like losing from there, crossing the line a length clear from the field.
Brad Parnham was aboard and kept his winning strike rate at 100% with five-year-old, ringing up three from three with the galloper.
From gate six here, he maps to fly the gates and be on the speed soon after jumping with Parnham steering the ship again.
His last three wins have all come on the Belmont track, giving him track specialist status and with a trouble-free run here, he should prove hard to beat again.
