RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BETTOR BEACH (5) has by far the best sectional times in this field, despite having had only two career starts. She raced in the breeze in the Breeders Crown last start in December and still performed well. Resuming here, but she looks to have plenty of class. OUR BELLA LUCIA (2) is in brilliant form, having won three of her past five starts, with all three victories coming at Melton. She is well drawn in barrier two and should secure a favourable race map. FICTION FILE (3) has competed at the highest level for her age group throughout her career and is a classy filly. THEMIDNIGHTEXPRESS (4) finished second in a Bathurst Gold Crown heat earlier this year and was a solid fifth in the Durham Park Rising Star last start. He is a quality horse and should be competitive again here.
