Belmont Tips March 25

National Apprentice Racing Series Heat 5 Tips (Race 4)

Belmont Next Best Bet - Race 4 No. 2 Truly Gallant

This lightly raced four-year-old from Geraldton has done little wrong so far and now steps to his first metro assignment in Perth, which looks well deserved.

He won two of four starts in his first campaign, the latest a dominant Class 2 victory over 1623m on December 15.

That prep ended with a competitive fourth 12 days later before a solid return effort over 1417m this year, where he finished off well late.

Nothing went right last start in a 68+ when held up as a beaten favourite behind Snippety Legend, a fitter, in-form galloper who had been competitive in a Saturday 60+ at Ascot.

The rise in distance suits, Truly Gallant can settle closer to the speed, and this looks a very winnable race.

National Apprentice Racing Series Heat 6 Tips (Race 6)

Belmont Best Bet - Race 6 No. 5 Rally The Troops

This Pearce-trained galloper has been racing very consistently, with his only top-four misses this season both coming with excuses.

He was held up when finishing sixth-of-10 on January 24, and again had excuses when finishing sixth in a 60+ on March 14 after being blocked at key stages.

His record around seven furlongs is solid, with his latest victory coming over this journey on December 28 when defeating Hey Pino.

That form has held up well, with Hey Pinot going on to win at Saturday metro level, and his surrounding runs also stacking up fairly well.

Rally The Troops drops in weight with the apprentice claim to 56.5kg and is well placed back to midweek company on Wednesday.

Carbine Club Of WA Handicap Tips (Race 7)

Belmont Value Bet - Race 7 No. 5 Royal Trooper

Royal Trooper goes around at a big price here and can improve sharply, dropping in grade to a midweek Class 3.

He was well held at Ascot on March 14, but the gap between runs in that last outing suggests there may have been a setback.

His previous Belmont run was encouraging, finishing fourth-of-16 on February 11 and indicating he was building into the campaign.

This prep opened with an eye-catching Bunbury effort, where Royal Trooper ran the fastest last 200m of a January 21 event over seven furlongs.

While the strike rate is modest, he has shown staying ability, which includes a Listed placing in the Belmont Classic, and he can run well at a big price here.
