The Justin Warwick trained Material Man will be tried in unchartered territories on Saturday but has the class to overcome the sharp step up in trip.

Due to contest the fifth event the son of Vital Equine will be tried beyond a mile for the first time in his career following an impressive victory last start.

A winner of five of his seven starts, Material Man has displayed plenty of ability and while some query over 2200m, his racing pattern should aid his chances.

From the inside draw Lucy Warwick should be able to smoother him away before producing him in the straight.

His closing sectionals last start were most impressive and if able to transfer that to this staying trip he is sure to be very hard to hold out.

Currently installed a 5-4 chance may seem short enough however on the bare form he has a bit up his sleeve.

We have him marked closer to a $1.80 chance and hence more than happy to take the price on offer.

The Stephen Wolfe trained You're A Rum'in was no match for the supremely talented State Solicitor last start however he was not beaten far and should be right at his peak racing third up.

An ultra impressive victor first up You're A Rum'in possesses plenty of talent and remains open to further improvement moving forward.

From the inside draw he looks to receive all the favours and if up to his best he should prove very hard to beat.

A shade better than 5-2 is the best on offer about his chances which appears great value as we have marked close to an even money shot.

As a side note, TopBetta will continue its Skin Series on Saturday ($50K Total Prize Pool) and while Belmont won't play a part it is definitely worth checking out - Click Here .
