In a race without an obvious leader, either Celestial Bell or Flying Molly can roll them along. RIPS LAW (1) was good on debut when working home nicely from midfield to grab second at Coffs Harbour. Blinkers go on and that extra focus could be the key. Fitter and looks ready to go one better. GOLD CAPITAL (8) continues to leave himself with too much to do but has been closing off strongly. Drops back in trip with the blinker coming off first time. If he can settle closer from the inside alley he will take plenty of holding out under the light weight. BACKHANDER (5) has only been sound in her last two but should be hitting her straps now. Gets in low at the weights with the claim and is one of the main chances. FLYING MOLLY (7) showed speed to be right there early last time and was only collared late. With similar tactics, she can give another bold sight and hold on for a slice. CELESTIAL BELL (3) is building to her first win and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rips Law to win.
