THREE RUNNERS.....THREE CHANCES.

We head out to Belmont this afternoon with three runners on the eight event card and on face value I would have to say that all three have good chances of finishing in the money.

BLESCAY starts off the day for us in race two in what looks a tricky little race. There is plenty of word around for the unraced ELUSIVE PRIDE and the top weight, GENERALAZ, won in impressive style first up in similar company.

We have last start winner, HIFALUTIN starting in race three and the way she won at Northam last week suggests that she has more wins in store. The main danger appears to be SPY STORY.

Hopefully I will have a couple of happy owners by that stage of the day who can take me down for some lunch to help fill in the rest of the afternoon while we wait for LEITMOTIF in the last race. This mare is stepping up to 1400m for the first time after having three runs over 1000m. If she handles the step up in distance and can settle in running she should run a very nice race.

As they say in the classics, "all we need is a bit of luck!" Happy punting.
