• To Win: #1 Cavity Bay ($2.80 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Happy to stick with the deserving favourite, Cavity Bay, in the SA Fillies Classic. The Tony & Calvin McEvoy trained Cable Bay filly hasn’t won a race since June last year but looks well rated here to break the drought. She comes down in grade off two solid Group 1 performances at the track when fourth at big odds only 1.5 lengths off Benagil in the Oaks before holding her own after drawing wide in last Saturday’s SA Derby. On the triple back-up she is rock hard fit now and finds an easier assignment here. The booking of Jamie Melham is a plus and she’s drawn better in gate four looking to salute for the punters. Gets the blinkers on to sharpen her up and is expected to settle midfield before being there when it counts. Can salute.
