Verdict

ODAKA (11) ready to peak after indicating a win was imminent with a game on-pace second over 7f at Taree. Can sit just off them from the gate and close strongly. Leading player. APERITAS (10) complete mystery again as fav at her second race start with a battling fifth over 6 ½f at Kembla Grange. Latham sticks and should get a faster tempo. No shock to see her blow these away. IVY LEGEND (8) returns with the two even trials after bumping into some handy types last prep. First run for the Waller yard and will go back from the gate and be ridden for luck in what should be a fast run race. Each way. EL QASABI (1) close to a win and comes here in peak condition after running a narrow second over 6f at Wyong. gets map favours and worth thought.
