Aloisia has clearly been the best backed runner to take out the Belle Of The Turf

She hasn’t won in over 12 months, but Aloisia has clearly been the best backed runner to take out the Belle Of The Turf (1600m) this Friday at Gosford.

The Maher/Eustace trained mare was down to run in the Summer Cup at Randwick on Boxing Day after a return to form in the Villiers, but the stable elects to tackle the mares. She was $5 to win but with confirmation she’s running at Gosford, she’s now into $3.70.

Zumbelina did open favourite at $3.70 but with support for Aloisia did get pushed out to $4.20, but a late rally on Thursday has seen her tighten into $3.80. Next best has been another well supported runner, Irithea ($9-$5.50), with some punters thinking she may get a soft lead.
