(* Any updates at Belmont later on *)

Comments: Belmont 6-1 Youlwin won an RB64 over 1600m with 57kg at Northam, then won an RB67 at Northam over 2200m also with 57kg, then ran 7th at Belmont over 2200m in an RB73 with 55.5kg and, finally, then won an RB79 at Belmont with 53.5kg over 2200m. He's by Jeune and that 7th was on a track rated as dead which is pretty much what you'd expect from the breed, as they're pretty legless in the wet. He's drawn well, has 57kg again, drops in grade and if it's not wet then I expect him to win even though 10-Sir Vice is very well in at the weights.
