AU - Belmont Park - Race 6

ASIF (5) turned in a strong performance first-up over this track and trip, beaten 0.5L on the heavy deck. Should be better for that effort and he boasts a strong second-up record. Pike sticks with him from a favourable barrier and he looks the one to beat on the back of the fresh effort. LORD SHIVA (3) should take up the running again following a 1.3L victory last time out at this track and trip in easier company. He was in good form in this grade prior and now carries less weight with Nottle on board. Got some confidence now and can keep the ball rolling. HEY PINO (7) was too good here last time, beating Asif in a strong performance. That rates highly in this field and he carries less weight with the claim of Cooper. Can play a leading role again. KING ADVISO (6) has issues first-up and can improve sharply. GIRLS DAY OUT (8) won't be far away if she can hold her form coming out in trip.
