6 TYSON FIGHT (TABtouch opening price: 12.00)
Punters who like omen bets will be attracted to Tyson Fight in the lead up to the multi-million-dollar bout between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor but there is more than Sharon Miller’s four-year-old gelding than a timely name.
Tyson Fight threw in the towel first up over 1,400m without the benefit of barrier trial, fading from leading with 400m to go and finish 5.3 lengths behind Dark Prospect in sixth place. That was a decent maiden, his siblings have won up to 1,900m and immediate members of his family tree have demonstrated they handle rain-affected surfaces.
Watch Tyson Fight finish sixth over 1,400m at Belmont Park on Wednesday 2 August
Race 3 2:24 2017 Ascot Racing Carnival - Book Now Handicap (1,200m) - Bet with TABtouch
11 PRIVATE DANCER (TABtouch opening price: 34.00)
Private Dancer cost $100,000 at last year’s Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale and she makes her competitive debut after participating in three 1,000m Belmont Park barrier trials – two in January and one earlier this month.
A daughter of Oratorio out of Atavism, four of her six siblings to make it to the track have won races, with Sweet Serenity placing in Listed company and Eternalism and Miss El Guerrouj taking part in multiple black type events.
Watch Private Dancer finish third over 1,000m at Belmont Park on Monday 7 August
Race 5 3:40 Perth Racing Memberships Handicap (1,000m) - Bet with TABtouch
11 STOLART (TABtouch opening price: 26.00)
Nothing went right for Stolart when he debuted over 1,000m at Belmont Park six weeks ago. He was bumped on jumping from the inside gate and raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages before fading out of the places late on.
Jim Taylor saddles two runners in Wednesday’s 1,000m race and it is certainly not a negative that Jason Brown has elected to stick with Stolart when, presumably, he could have chosen to ridden Sovereignty Lady, which is firmer in the market.
Watch Stolart finish ninth over 1,000m at Belmont Park on Wednesday 12 July
