AU - Belmont Park - Race 1

SWIFT RULER (3) got well back and never featured on debut over 5f, but he's trialled very impressively since. Pike now hops on board with the rise to 6f looking ideal for him on what he's shown recently. Can take closer order today and notch up a maiden victory. BARRON BILL (1) has jumped an odds-on pop in both favourites, bumping into a smart one fresh before a 1.7L defeat in Maiden company most recently. The step to 6f now might be what he's looking for and he should get every chance for Fiore from a good draw. Can go one better. LENNY GOOD CHILD (6) is on debut today for the Pearce stable with Holly Nottle in the saddle still claiming 2kgs. He's shown promising signs at the trials coming in and he can make an impact from a good draw. VINNY NAY (2) comes back from the Sires' where he held his own. Makes plenty of appeal. MANHATTAN RHYTHM (7) is not to be discounted with the aid of an inside barrier on debut.
