BELLASARIO (15) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Goes well at this distance including two wins so a big run is anticipated. FIGHTING FLOYD (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when seventh over 7f21yards at Launceston three-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. GREY WHISPER (13) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 5½f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ETOSHA (1) was an impressive winner last time over 5½f at this track, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on his rivals. Has a strong association with Catherine Van Munster who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. One of the better hopes.
