GOING: S(7)

Sportsbet Photo Finish Refund F&M BM58 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo. BELLE INFERNO (1) is a danger. She's been good at two runs back from a spell and looks set to peak getting to a mile third up. She too drops in class and looks well placed. WILD AND FREE (3) notched up her second career win last start at Tatura in this grade. Takes on a few capable types here but is in form. FINALE (6) broke her maiden easily as a short-priced favourite last time and can measure up. OUTCASTER (12) might be an improver and worth including at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle Inferno on top.
