BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS MISS BELLA BRAND has found a solid level of consistency and maintained it when she was third over C&D, beaten just two and a quarter lengths last time. If Ilka Gansera-Leveque’s four-year-old can reproduce that effort, she shouldn’t be too far away. Lucia Joy has been given an opportunity by the handicapper to be involved, while Bondi Girl could also feature.

PLAY SMARTER The vote goes to MISS BELLA BRAND, who was well on top at the finish when scoring over C&D on her penultimate start and things didn’t pan out so well for her back here on Monday. Company Minx is second choice, albeit only marginally as the 3-y-os Noteable, Bondi Girl and Liv Lucky should all be in the mix, too.
