GOING: S(5)

TAB BELLE OF CAPRICORNIA Fillies and Mares BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.63)  

Moderate tempo headed by Street Glory. Easily the hardest race on the card. AFFINITY FLYER (2) won well at Doomben last time out in a BM 70 and that type of form reads superbly well for a race like this. Can be winning this. DREAM SMART (6) drops back in grade today and has the ratings to give this an almighty shake. EL OF A SENORITA (14) is usually around the mark and that should be the case again today. GLASS OF ROSE (9) won two back at Ipswich and that kind of form should stand up here. CELESTIAL HARBOUR (1), HEARSAY (5) and STREET GLORY (8) could all prevail without providing, and are not to be dismissed, likewise TIGON PRINCESS (11) SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Affinity Flyer in this.
