Everest winner Bella Nipotina heads the Ladbrokes.com.au market for the Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) this Saturday at Rosehill.

The Ciaron Maher trained iron mare has been enormous this prep, confirmed with that mighty Everest triumph, and clearly looks hard to beat here. She sits as a warm $2.70 favourite.

Sunshine In Paris is on the second line of betting at $5.50, a point clear of the well tried Private Eye. I Am Me is at $9 with wagering companies in Australia.
