Belmont Racing Tips for Saturday, August 8th 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. (14:28) Happy 70th Birthday Colin Brown Plate (1000m)

#6 - Spinarella

BET NOW

Spinarella shouldn’t take much longer to win a race after posting back-to-back placings at Bunbury and Belmont.

The three-year-old filly by Splintex wasn’t far behind a nice type two back, and although she ran at long odds, it was a good effort.

It’s a moderate field to open the card, and she could give punters a sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (15:06) Ted McAuliffe Handicap (1400m)

#4 - Articole

BET NOW

Articole kicked off this preparation with back-to-back wins at Northam and Belmont, and he could get back to his winning ways.

The four-year-old son of Snippetson has yet to finish worse than third in five attempts, so it’s tough to pick holes in his form.

Lucy Fiore rides well, and we’re happy to include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:44) George Towton BM66 (2200m)

#1 - Kisses from Kelly

BET NOW

Kisses from Kelly has turned his form around impressively recently, including a win three back and two subsequent placings.

The seven-year-old son of Demerit owns five wins and six placings at Belmont, so he’s a course specialist with every chance to win.

2kg comes off his back, which adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (16:21) Robert Burns Snr 1MW (1000m)

#5 - Mai Aloha

BET NOW

Mai Aloha has given punters a good ride this campaign, including two wins and three second placings from five attempts.

The five-year-old mare by Long Leaf pulled out all the stops at Belmont last start, and that should be the best form guide for this race.

William Pike rides, and we expect the money to come for her.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (17:00) JJ Kelly BM72 (1600m)

#4 - Mt Shirataku

BET NOW

Team Williams lines up Mt Shirataku, who won at Belmont two back before placing behind Zourun Run two weeks ago.

The five-year-old gelding owns two wins and three placings at the track, and barrier two allows him to get a good run in transit.

It’s another good ride for Fiore, who could have a successful day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (17:35) Angus Armanasco 1MW (1400m)

#8 - Cinque Stelle

BET NOW

Cinque Stelle could have a nice future after winning by 2.5 lengths at Bunbury last start, and she has winning form at Belmont.

The four-year-old mare by Toronado owns two wins and a placing from four starts, and barrier two with Pike riding is ideal.

We expect money to come for her, so take the early price.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (18:15) Swan Draught Belmont Newmarket (1200m)

#3 - Repossession

BET NOW

Repossession has been all around the mark without winning recently, but the five-time winner knows how to get it done.

The five-year-old son of Sessions owns five wins and five placings from 15 starts, including two wins a Belmont, so the form checks out.

We expect him to be right in the thick of the action.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (18:55) Congratulations Michael Grantham BM66 (1200m)

#4 - Zourun Run

BET NOW

Zourun Run is already a three-time winner this preparation, including a quality win over Mt Shirataku last time out.

That form could be franked earlier on the card, and the four-year-old mare has yet to run a bad race with 10 starts for five wins and three placings.

Barrier 11 makes it tough, but class takes her close.

Stake: 1.5 Units
