Best Bet:
Race 7 No. 3 Fifth Essence
This Brett Pope-trained galloper is still learning the caper, but the middle-distance/staying prospect has shown plenty of raw ability.
Fifth Essence was green via his second race day appearance and he did make inroads from off the speed in that fresh assignment.
He impressed in a subsequent trial win and the three-year-old broke through six days later, where he saluted despite racing greenly.
In an average Class 1 field, Fifth Essence looks the horse with the most upside and he's open to improvement third-up at start four.
Value Bet:
Race 4 No. 11 Westcoast Express
He showed potential early, with a debut win recorded at Belmont in March 2023 and there were excuses in four subsequent runs.
Westcoast Express never fired a shot last campaign, hence the long odds for his Northam resumption, although his trial was okay.
That May 11 runs suggests that he could be back on track, as the gelding ran the fastest last 800m/600m/400m and 200m of the race.
Zorbist heads the market and the fav is coming out of the same event, while out to 1400m suits Westcoast Express in this second-up tilt.
Market Mover:
Race 5 No. 10 Mighty Hosanna
Given the ease of her first-up victory, Mighty Hosanna has been a little disappointing in her last three showings, however, she's still been mostly competitive and the three-year-old is down in grade after a runner-up finish at Class 3 level.
EliteBet punters have stepped in early, with Mighty Hosanna now a $2.60 favourite (opened $3.70).
Stats Say:
At Belmont, Daniel Morton has been a profitable trainer for punters to follow this season, with 14 winners recorded here at an ROI of 61%.
He's accepted with two runners on Wednesday's meeting and both representatives are at single figure quotes.
