The first day of the Swan Hill June Racing Carnival will kick off on Friday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set down for decision. Although the track was rated a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, there is no rain forecast in the lead-up to raceday, so it is expected that the track will firm into the Good range. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 12:15pm AEST.
Best Bet at Swan Hill: King’s Capital
King’s Capital brought up a hat-trick of wins at Morphettville last time out, when the Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained settled on speed before kicking clear in the home straight to hold off his rivals by half a length over 1800m. Interestingly, this son of Animal Kingdom has yet to win at 1600m, but given the strength of his victories during this streak, he should have no trouble replicating his most recent victory by settling on speed and giving a good kick with 300m to go.

Race 5 – 
#2 King’s Capital (10)

Next Best at Swan Hill: Just For Show
Just For Show will bring strong metropolitan form to the Elvstroem Classic as he seeks to claim his first victory after recording three straight third-place finishes to start his career. This son of Showtime was very good last start, picking his way through the pack from the back of the field before running into a tight gap between the two leaders. Billy Egan will be able to settle closer to the speed from barrier four, and if Just For Shows lets down with a similar finish, he will prove hard to hold out.

Best Value at Swan Hill: Bellinger
It has been a long time between wins for Bellinger, but he looks to have found the right race to break his 64-week drought. The Hayes team has kept this six-year-old gelding to 1200m races throughout this long preparation, and his last effort at Caulfield was one of his better performances over the last few months. With good speed expected in this race, Blaike McDougall will settle towards the rear of the field before giving Bellinger his cue to let down with a strong finish down the middle of the track.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#2 Bellinger (9)
6yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blaike McDougall (58kg)
