The $70,000 Swift Signs Handicap for three-year-old and upward fillies and mares is a set weights plus penalties race over 1500 metres. There is a field of 10 and Amberino is the topweight with 57.5kg and also the short-priced favourite in the early market at $2.25. Next in the betting is Dollops at $4.80, Hanabananah at $9, Cocoa Tycoon at $10, Go My Girl at $11, then Causeway Queen, Fire Vain and Swooper all at $14.
Amberino has been close at her last 2 starts and looks well suited here. Go My Girl finished strongly for 3rd in a 1300m race when resuming from a long spell and looks as if this distance will suit. Hanabananah likes to lead and tends to get run down at the end of her races but will be fitter for recent races.
Jo’s tips: 1. Amberino, 2. Go My Girl, 3. Hanabananah
