Verdict

ODAKA (8) resumes for her third preparation. Ran on late when a respectable fourth over 5 ½f at Wyong last June. Fitted with the two good trials and a leading rider goes on from the low gate. Respect. BRUTAL ADVANCE (1) has gone under narrowly at his last two starts as favourite. Struck trouble at the start before charging late for a slick second over 5 ½f at this track. Should be able to hold a position today and may take holding out. ADMIRE ME (6) was slow into stride on debut and worth another look after she finished sixth over 5 ½f at Gosford. Trained on the track and Schiller sticks. Improver. TETSU BELLE (11) Deep Field filly who comes up from Victoria and is now in the Nathan Doyle stable. Impressed in two trials and has a host of gear changes. Capable of taking this out.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.
