Belmont

TEX 'N' CEE (4) has done very little wrong in four starts and looks the horse to beat after breaking through at this track over 1400m, where he beat Stern Empire by just under two lengths as favourite. His Bunbury second to Moose two runs back also reads well, and his profile is still on the up. DUCHESS OF DANCE (9) was unwanted in the market on debut but won like a filly with more to offer, coming from back in the field at Northam to beat Maybe Maybe Maybe by just over a length. The splits there were super and she can prove it wasn't a fluke. PROPERATA (2) has placed three times from four runs this season and dropping out of CL3 company after being run down late at Northam. Has early speed and will give a bold sight. ENCROACHING (3) broke his maiden here last start and draws to get every chance again.
