This Wednesday, 22nd October, the gates open at BELMONT PARK RACECOURSE, Perth (Australia) for their popular “Midweek Racing at Belmont” raceday. With free entry and great company, the event promises a relaxed yet vibrant afternoon of eight well-matched races from 10:59AM to 3:10PM — a perfect mid-week escape where form, finishing speed and good jockey rides matter.
Race 1: MCA POLYTRACK HANDICAP (10:59am, 1000 meters)
The card begins with a race restricted to 3-year-olds only, offering a chance for youthful talent to shine. CALL ME INVINCIBLE, NINETYMILESTRAIGHT and LADIES PRO may try to assert themselves early with bold tactics, while SWEET ISSY and TENNESSEE SPIRIT could finish strongly if the early pace opens it up. A good starting point to watch who’s rising. Prize money: $35,000
Race 2: MORLEY GROWERS MARKET MAIDEN (11:34am, 1200 meters)
In this maiden event, the pressure is off and the promise is high. BONDI LIFESAVER, WHISKY FEVER and THE CRIMSON PIRATE will look to deliver on early potential, with REFEMME NO ANGEL, OURGIRLCANRUN and UNIVERSAL IMPACT possibly making up ground in the closing stages once the leaders tire. Fresh faces, fresh stories. Prize money: $25,000
Race 3: WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN MAIDEN (12:09pm, 1200 meters)
Another maiden contest gives more hopefuls the chance to break through. KING OF MUSTER, ALMOST ARTIE and SNIP THE STRAP could aim for a strong lead, while CAPRICIOUS RULER, WESTONS REFLECTION and NONEOFYOURBUSINESS may make the telling move in the home straight if positioned well. Patience could pay off here. Prize money: $25,000
Race 4: RELIABLE ASSET MAINTENANCE MAIDEN (12:47pm, 1400 meters)
The third maiden of the afternoon carries that same sense of opportunity. DECLARED INNOCENT, FIGHTING THUNDER and YALDA NIGHT may use experience to advantage, while NOBLE TOUCH, GRAVITY DEFYING and SCARED ME TOO might improve markedly on recent runs. A quietly intriguing contest. Prize money: $25,000
Race 5: QUAYCLEAN HANDICAP (1:22pm, 1000 meters)
We step up in class for this one. The Class 1 race demands more from the entrants—speed, stamina and strategy. ORDER ONLINE, GALWAY SHAWL and MAKWELL SMART may look to dominate from the front, whereas SAVAGE DANCER, DEEP DISCRETION and RUBIX LOVE might relish a late sprint to the post. Quality takes centre stage. Prize money: $30,000
Race 6: TABTOUCH – HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH HANDICAP (2:00pm, 1400 meters)
Again at Class 1, the field looks more proven and the contest tighter. GRANDAD’S ADICTION, PURE OBSESSION and GERONIMO MAGIC could carry in-form momentum, while OLAF THE SNOWMAN, CLASSIC ROYALE and RIVERCREST MAGIC may have the strength to power home late. Expect a close finishing fight. Prize money: $30,000
Race 7: UNITE RESOURCING HANDICAP (2:35pm, 1200 meters)
Now we shift to the Class 3 ranks for colts and geldings only. GOLDEN DORE, DE GRANDHOMME and KING’S DRAMA may use a good draw or ride to advantage, while PACIFIC BOXER, I’M EUGENE and STORM LORD might deliver the punch when the others fade. Age, strength and tactics will matter here. Prize money: $30,000
Race 8: BISLEY WORKWEAR HANDICAP (3:10pm, 1200 meters)
The final race of the day gives the fillies and mares the spotlight in another Class 3 test. GOLD FLAKES, RIVA AQUARAMA and INVINCIBLE RUBY could press the pace early, whereas DUBAI’S DAUGHTER, ENCHANTING SOUND and RIGHT TO SILENCE may strike late with a late turn of foot. A fitting finish to a strong card. Prize money: $30,000
With eight competitive races and a relaxed mid-week vibe, Belmont Park offers more than just racing — it provides a genuine afternoon out under Western Australia’s skies. Whether it’s seeing a youngster break through or a seasoned runner finish strong, today’s card tells plenty of stories.
