Has looked fairly limited in bumpers and over hurdles but is now switched to fences for the first time. There are some useful jumping relations in his pedigree
Wind the clock back a year and he would have solid claims based on his Kempton effort over 2m4f. He's not the most reliable though and he can race very lazily at times and after a fair break he may well need this run.
His two chase starts so far have yet to convince and he also refused to start once here in the past over hurdles. Turned over a new leaf after that and scored three times over hurdles and back from a break looks to have a fairly simple task here.
May well have been able to win on the point-to-point scene but has had plenty of tries to break her duck under Rules with success. Has plenty to do here on these terms.
Yet to be tried over fences under Rules but her hurdles form of late has been very poor and she has too much to do on these terms.
Forecasts
Newton Geronimo (1/4), Belmont Park (9/2), Boston Blue (8/1), Bennys Girl (14/1), Gray Wolf River (66/1)
An incredibly weak contest and although NEWTON GERONIMO comes back from a long break on hs hurdles form he should just outclass this bunch. Boston Blue and Benny’s Girl are likely to contest the places but that could well be at a respectful distance to the likely short-priced favourite.
- Newton Geronimo
- Boston Blue
- Bennys Girl
