Alabama Belle is expected to lead at a slick tempo. YES I BELIEVE (7) may come over with that speed and get a nice spot. He is having his first start since arriving from Victoria. Showed enough to start with to consider the ability is there. Market will tell. UNTIL DAWN (6) improved greatly coming back to this track. He should be up on the pace as well. Is back 200m for this. SEA ROADS (5) has been steadily improving. He just isn't getting any favours at the barriers. ICANHEARZOU (10) resumes here and is another to follow the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Another race where not many have placed of late. If they back Yes I Believe it won't take much to win it.
