Belmont Racing Tips for Saturday, May 23rd 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Belmont on Saturday, which includes nine 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. (13:58) Quayclean Plate (1000m)

#2 – Levati Dimezzo

Looking to go one better than his debut placing is Levati Dimezzo, who could have a bright future.

The two-year-old son of King of Comedy ran at $14 odds at Ascot, and he should be paying much shorter odds this time around.

Look for him to settle back and hit the line strongly.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:33) Tabtouch Westspeed Platinum (1400m)

#10 – Nickelplay

BET NOW

Nickelplay is getting close to scoring an overdue win following three consecutive placings this preparation.

The four-year-old mare by Playing God is a past winner at Belmont, which is a bonus, and she could get back to her best on Saturday.

She only needs luck from a wide barrier to go close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:09) Glenroy Chaff Plate (1200m)

#1 – Western Ace

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Western Ace, who scored at Ascot in back-to-back races to end last preparation.

The three-year-old son of I’m All the Talk won at $1.35 odds last time out, and although it came over 1400m, this distance won’t trouble him.

A betting move would be good to see, but he should run well regardless.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:49) Reliable Asset Maintenance BM66 (1300m)

#3 – Hot and High

BET NOW

Hot and High has yet to taste defeat from four starts, including a quality win at Ascot last time out.

It was an excellent fresh up run from the three-year-old filly by Too Darn Hot, and she could keep her winning streak alive.

Look for shortening odds when markets open.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (16:40) Unite Resourcing 1MW (1200m)

#3 – Just Famous

BET NOW

Boasting five wins and seven placings from 19 starts is Just Famous, who does most of his racing at Kalgoorlie.

The five-year-old gelding is good enough to contend against this level of opposition, so punters should give him another chance.

Getting the inside draw is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:10) Peters Investments BM66 (1000m)

#6 – Xentaro

BET NOW

Xentaro is gunning for three consecutive wins after scoring at Belmont and Ascot, and they are top form guides for this race.

The three-year-old son of Nicconi owns four wins from 10 starts, including two wins at Belmont, and all four wins have come over the distance.

Getting the inside draw is ideal, so include him in picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (17:45) Schweppes 1MW (1400m)

#9 – Antique Queen

BET NOW

Antique Queen has yet to win from three attempts at Belmont, but she owns a second placing here, which is good enough to handle this field.

The five-year-old mare by Pierro will need a touch of luck from a wide draw, but having William Pike in the saddle helps.

Punters should get each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (18:20) Racing WA Provincial Series Final (1400m)

#2 – Rainline @ $3.40

BET NOW

The four-year-old mare looked good when winning fresh up at Ascot before running a good second placing at Northam.

That form stacks up nicely for this level of racing, and with a win and three placings at Belmont, she likes the track.

Barrier four with Pike in the saddle should take her close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (18:55) Swan Draught BM66 (1600m)

#1 – Battle Commander

BET NOW

Punters could get each-way odds for Battle Commander, who is already a two-time winner this preparation.

The four-year-old son of Rommel has yet to win from 12 starts at Belmont, but he has been close with five placings.

He’s worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
