Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Little Miss Belle a potential leader. LITTLE MISS BELLE (7) mixes her form but is very good on her day. Best recent effort was two back when she raced handy and bolted in over 1050m at Rockhampton. Can win if she recaptures that form. SENSATIONABULL (9) is out of sorts, including a shocker at Bowen last time out. Best figures measure up favourably so he could surprise in a moderate race. FLYING MAPLE (5) registered a win and a placing at this track before missing out last start over today's distance at Rockhampton. Loves the 1100m here so must be included. ROTH 'N' BUBBLE (8) stormed home to grab second last time at Townsville to continue the good form this prep. Freshened up and is in the mix again. NIC ME SOME (2) worked home late when resuming over 1050m here last start. Open to plenty of improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a nice race for Little Miss Belle.
