Belmont Racing Tips for Saturday, July 4th 2026

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. (14:39) MC Polytrack Plate (1300m)

#2 – Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime took on tough company during his first preparation, and he’ll only be better for the experience.

The two-year-old son of Safeguard comes off a second placing at the Lark Hill trials, and getting William Pike in the saddle helps.

We expect him to give punters a sight in the opener.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (15:18) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1200m)

#3 – Girls Day Out

BET NOW

Girls Day Out boasts a good fresh up record of three starts for two wins and a placing, and she could hit the ground running on Saturday.

The four-year-old mare by Long Leaf also has experience at Belmont with a placing, so we’re confident of a tidy effort.

Look for each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:54) Quayclean BM66 (1000m)

#4 – Lord Shiva

BET NOW

Lord Shiva is running well this preparation, including a fresh up win before adding back-to-back placings.

The five-year-old son of Playing God runs his best races at Belmont with a win and four placings, so racing here is ideal.

Look for him to settle on speed and kick gamely in the straight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (16:35) Bisley Workwear 1MW (1600m)

#1 – Territory Man

BET NOW

Territory Man cost punters a bit last time out when running second, but it was a good run in defeat.

The four-year-old was beaten by only a short margin in heavy conditions, and he’s better on top of the ground.

Barrier two with Pike riding makes him tough to hold out.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (17:15) Happy 60th Birthday Tim Helfer 1MW (1300m)

#5 – Searchin’ Times

BET NOW

Searchin’ Times couldn’t make it five straight wins last time out, but she didn’t get all favours early in the run.

The three-year-old filly by Awesome Rock is unbeaten in two starts at Belmont, and getting back to this track helps her chances.

We expect her to make a positive fresh up effort.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (17:50) Swan Draught Aquanita Stakes (2000m)

#4 – Spellborn @ $6.00

BET NOW

We are taking the each-way odds for Spellborn, who didn’t fire at Belmont last start, but he could bounce back with a big effort.

The three-year-old son of Peltzer owns a win and a placing at Belmont, so he typically likes it here, and that was a tough race.

This is easier, so include him in selections.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (18:20) Belmont Oaks (2000m)

#1 – Ladies Pro @ $2.80

BET NOW

Ladies Pro was no match for Hot and High last start when running fifth, but she should be suited to this race.

The three-year-old filly by D’argento is a three-time winner from seven starts, and she deserves to be on the second line of betting.

It’s another good ride for Pike, who could have a big day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (18:54) Think Pink Hope Heels and Horses BM72 (1400m)

#6 – Noteworthy

BET NOW

Improving with every run this preparation is Noteworthy, who ran third at Belmont last time out.

The six-year-old mare by Charm Spirit is a six-time winner overall, so the class is there, and she could get back to her best.

Punters should expect each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit
