Belmont Racing Tips for Saturday, August 1st 2026

Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Belmont on Saturday, which includes eight races at the premier meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Western Australian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (14:23) Mrs Mac's BM72 (1200m)

#8 - Hubble's Dragon

BET NOW

Daniel Morton lines up Hubble’s Dragon, who owns two wins and two placings from six starts.

The four-year-old son of Deep Field won at Bunbury three back before ending the prep with a fifth at Ascot behind King Hit.

That’s a good form guide, and he could make a winning start to the season.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:59) Congratulations William Pike BM66 (1400m)

#6 - Diamonds'N'Rubies

BET NOW

Seeking her fourth win this preparation is Diamonds’N’Rubies, who scored at Belmont against a big field last time out.

The five-year-old mare is a four-time winner overall, and she owns two wins and two placings at Belmont, so this track is ideal.

55.5kg on her back is enough to take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:39) Congratulations Holly Nottle Leading Apprentice BM66 (1000m)

#3 - Lord Shiva

BET NOW

Lord Shiva showed good speed when winning fresh up, and he’s good enough to get back to that form.

The six-year-old son of Playing God doesn’t know how to run a bad race, so punters get a consistent type to bet on.

1.5kg comes off his back, and we’re confident of a tidy effort.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (16:14) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1200m)

#11 - Cosmic Treat

BET NOW

Cosmic Treat didn’t fire last time out at Pinjarra, but returning to Belmont could be enough to see her best form return.

She ran second at Belmont fresh up, and getting the inside draw with a light weight is enough to take her close in this race.

Look for each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (16:59) Wittens Irrigation & Design Plate (1300m)

#9 - God's Hammer

BET NOW

God’s Hammer ran fifth on debut at Ascot before spelling, and that came against a tidy open-class field.

The three-year-old son of Playing God ran third in a recent trial at Belmont, and the addition of William Pike in the saddle is a bonus.

We expect money to come for him, so take the early odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (17:35) MC Polytrack 1MW (1200m)

#12 - Optimus Prime

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is Optimus Prime, who has transformed his form this preparation.

The three-year-old son of Safeguard gets in with a light weight of 54kg with Pike riding, which could add to his good book of rides.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (18:15) Jockey Celebration Day Stakes (1400m)

#2 - Sensessional @ $5.00

BET NOW

We’re taking the each-way odds for Sensessional, who ended last preparation with consecutive placings.

The six-year-old son of Sessions is a five-time winner at Belmont from only seven starts, and he has yet to finish worse than third here.

He should run well, so the $5 odds are generous.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (18:55) Happy Horses Birthday 1MW (1600m)

#8 - Vexatious Rose

BET NOW

Shooting for three consecutive wins is Vexatious Rose, who won both starts at Pinjarra.

The five-year-old mare by Universal Ruler placed at her only Belmont attempt, which is a good sign for this contest.

She is worth including in picks at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
