Belluci Babe has been heavily backed in the Missile Stakes

First up performer Belluci Babe has been best backed with Ladbrokes.com.au for the feature race at Randwick this afternoon, the Missile Stakes (1200m).

The Bjorn Baker trained mare is first up and has trialled up really well in readiness for her return. She opened $6 and has been crunched, into $4.60.

Favourite for the race is multiple Group l winner Forbidden Love at $3.30 and has been rock solid since markets opened on Wednesday. Gem Song ($21-$17) and Prime Candidate ($51-$21) have both had each way specking.
