AU - Belmont Park - Race 1

JUNIPER (2) has made a faultless start, winning a Mdn at Northam on heavy ground before taking a CL1 at this track as a well-supported favourite. She was slow away last time yet still picked up strongly to beat Artie's Storm. Back to 5f doesn't look an issue and she can continue her winning ways. ANACONDA JONES (1) brings the more exposed Open form, having placed in all four starts and chased solidly behind Dawn Dancer at this track, with an easier assignment now in his favour. CHIXFROMTHESTIX (4) comes through stronger Listed company and is already a track-and-trip winner, so she can rebound into the placings if she puts the latest run behind her. TWILIGHT STAR (8) is the fresh element, a debutant with four trials behind her, winning her latest heat. CJP's booking is a good push and she can make an impression. MYSTIC SMILE (7) moved well in a recent trial and can fire a shot on resumption with the aid of an inside barrier.
