2020 Begonia Belle Stakes betting preview

The Group 3 Begonia Belle Stakes, aka the Furphy Sprint, rounds out the best day of racing in the country at 5:10pm AEDT on Derby Day. A field of 14 is set to compete down the infamous Flemington straight over 1100m. Plenty of these runners come through either the Northwood Plume Stakes on Caulfield Guineas Day or the Alinghi Stakes on Caulfield Cup Day. With such a high-class field, it’s set to be a suitable conclusion to Derby Day for the mares.


Best BetFituese (#8) $5 with Sportsbet

The John Thompson and Craig Williams combination will be looking to turn the tables on race favourite California Zimbol after going down to her at Caulfield a fortnight ago. Fituese was beaten by a head and looked the better of the two going through the line after chasing steadily throughout the home straight. Williams will have a decision to make early on from barrier one, but if he can get the mare some cover quickly, she looks to be one of the class runners in the field.


Next BestFiesta (#2) $8 with Sportsbet

Fiesta was one of the more impressive winners on Caulfield Guineas Day, where she took out the Northwood Plume Stakes in convincing fashion when defeating the in-form Felicia. She gave that horse a two-length head start entering the home straight but produced an electric turn of foot to score nicely over the last 50m. She’ll most likely jag back to the rear of the field from barrier 13, and considering she is undefeated over 1100m, she will be fighting out the finish here.


Best ValueBless Her (#12) $10 with Sportsbet

Bless Her is back from a nine-week let up after a runner-up performance in the Cockram Stakes. During the winter months, she strung together five consecutive wins prior to that Cockram Stakes effort. With Jye McNeil keeping the ride, they map to be up on speed throughout and look nicely placed. Her best sees her fighting out the finish here.
