Form analyst, SCOTT MCDONELL, previews Saturday’s Belmont meeting, with horse racing tips and analysis for all 9 races. Good luck, punters!

Track Condition: Good 4

Rail Position: Out 3m entire circuit

PETITE LA FEMME is probably the most frustrating mare in Perth at the moment. She has a habit of missing the start before run eye catching last 400m sectionals. If she jumps with them from her inside gate she can win this.

BOLLINGER BOY chased home hard and just missed here first-up from spell. He will be much better from the outing and sure to be in finish.

INTERSTATE resumes from spell. Finished last campaign with a minor spot at Ascot behind Miss Marietta and if he is forward enough for this can figure.

LACEVINSKY looks the likely speed and if he can control this race from the front may take running down last 200m.

Tip: PETITE LA FEMME

The speedy filly MADAM TORIO resumes from a spell. She was dominant winning at Ascot when fresh last time in work and won two of three fresh. She may just be too quick for these.

TIME SCALE overraced a touch here last start but still stayed on and held minor placing. Drawn to get the perfect run in transit and she gets chance to return to winners stall.

SUNNYSILK was a brave winner here last start and that made it two wins from her last three starts and she cannot be left out of chances.

BROOKLYN PIER is another resuming from spell. He has won two of three first-up efforts and after racing in the speed here fresh last prep was much too good. Cannot leave out.

Tip: MADAM TORIO

ULTIMATE COMMAND looks close to returning to the winner stall. Close up in last couple at Ascot and finds similar race here. Drawn to get his chance.

GALAXY CAT resumes. She only just missed winning at Ascot on debut then again competitive at next start. May have had enough by the time she got to the Crystal Slipper. This nice race to return in.

BOPPING BLUE was in the market on debut but after racing up on the speed just faded final stages. Sure to be better from that outing and will be an improver.

NEEDS TIME is a debutant who won most recent trial Belmont 1000m (1:04.06) 24/5. He looks ready for the racetrack and watch market for guide to chances.

Tip: ULTIMATE COMMAND

NOT TO BE MIST won at Ascot three starts back then he has not been beaten all that far in two runs since. Should get right run on the fence and only needs ounce of luck late to be right in finish.

BLACK SHADOW is another who has been racing consistently with a string of minor placings since Ascot win. Drawn perfectly and would not be surprised to see him go close.

BELLA’S IDOL gave the smart Marocchino a scare here last start when beaten less than a length. That form good enough for this and from ideal barrier he is winning chance.

ADORNMENT made strong late ground to win at Ascot last start. She looks to be improving with each outing and must include in multiples.

Tip: NOT TO BE MIST

AMASENUS is a promising mare who worked through her classes with authority winning last three to end campaign. Had a trial to get her forward for this and she can win.

COMES A TIME raced up on the speed before proving a touch too strong for them here last start. Drawn to get the perfect run in transit and will look winner at some stage in straight.

LONG BEACH covered plenty of extra ground at Ascot first-up and just could not finish the race off well enough. Strips fitter and if he gets a better run will be in the mix.

EEYORE WAYZ caught the eye with his finishing burst here when placed first-up. Fitter and if he can find that form will be hard to hold out final stages.

Tip: AMASENUS

PICCOLA SIGNORA has been a bit costly for me in last few starts but she looks ready to return to winners stall and I am not going to jump off her now especially from inside gate.

TRI FOR US looks an exciting filly who has been working through her classes with ease. Finds a slightly tougher affair but she can measure up to them.

TIFF HAS SPOKEN comes into this ready third-up from spell. Placed in both runs back and he should be at peak fitness for this. Must include in chances.

KERMAN ROCK was placed in the WA Derby three starts back. Has been catching the eye back in distance at last couple and the step up to the mile is ideal.

Tip: PICCOLA SIGNORA

GRACEFUL GIRL returned to winning form second-up and she will be all the better out of that run. Third-up from spell and happy to put her on top again.

SOLAIA resumes from a spell. She is a smart filly who raced in consistent form last time in work. This a tough ask for her fresh but recent trial should have her ready for this.

NO SURRENDER showed good pace to lead first-up before fitness told last 200m. Sure to be better from the run and he is yet to run a poor race.

The run of SHE’S GOD TO YOU was better than finishing position suggests last start when beaten just over 2 lengths. Drawn to get the perfect run and cannot leave out of place chances.

Tip: GRACEFUL GIRL

EXCELLENT DREAM resumes from a spell. He has won two of four fresh and only just missed at Ascot first-up last time in work. He can get away with this.

SERENITY BAY is another first-up from spell. Has solid fresh record (5:2-2-0) and did take on all Listed races last time in work. She is classy enough to get away with this.

MAGNIFORCE is just racing in super form. Won two in a row at Kalgoorlie then went to town and again saluted. Has race fitness on a few of these and cannot leave out again.

GUNS OF NAVARONE won at Ascot two starts back then wound up gamely final stages to grab close placing here last start. He is a must for first four players.

Tip: EXCELLENT DREAM

Have an opinion of ANGELIC MISS. She ran on strongly to win at Ascot two starts back before running into a placing here last start. She can finish all over these last 200m.

TINSNIP finished the race off hard to win at Ascot two starts back then he has his chance last start but just held ground. Looking for him to find best form in this.

BRIGHT DIAMOND should have won here first-up. Just got out late and flew to just miss. Pike will be looking to make amends in this and she can win.

COMFORT ME was enormous here first-up after a torrid run kept coming and held brave placing. If he gets a better run he will be right in the mix.

Tip: ANGELIC MISS
