The Belmont Oaks is a tricky race to assess. FANCY RED (1) made it back-to-back wins and highlighted her quality when scoring by 1.4L at Pinjarra last week. The glaring niggle is that she's now out to 2000m, though Pike remains in the saddle and she maps well in the big field. Looks an improving type who can continue on her current trajectory. LILLIAN (12) gets the visors replacing the blinkers today as she rises up to 2000m for the first time. The rise in trip looks a big tick and this stable and jockey combo is absolutely airborne of late. Has plenty of upside and can go to another level now. SHOWLAS (2) was solid in the Belmont Guineas and that form may have been franked by now. She has the speed to cross from out wide and she's right in the mix if she can run up to her recent ratings. KIMBERLEY ROSE (3) is ticking along nicely and the rise in trip looks a big boost for her. Watch for her late in the race. ROSIE CAN RUN (4) won't be far away.
