Belmont Newmarket (Bm86+) (LR)
Settle Strada ($2.25 favourite) has now raced 16 times for nine wins and all three this preparation. He was ridden quietly and settled fifth one off the rails, following a moderate pace (first 600m 37.75). He was racing a bit keenly nearing the turn, moved up well to take the lead at the 200m and was eased in the closing stages to score by three quarter lengths. It was an impressive win. Kalahaar was second last in the 11-horse field to the 600m. He went to the extreme outside on straightening and made up many lengths for a late-closing second. He put up a good effort and he was unsuited by the sprint-home tactics of the race. Dueton was sixth one off the rails between runners. He got a split on straightening, put in a run passing the 200m and then battled on fairly well for a sound third. *ANZ
